What Is DE|RIVE Hair Support Serum?
DE|RIVE is a plant-based hair support serum developed to support scalp and follicle health. It uses botanical ingredients and plant-derived extracellular vesicle technology to help improve the scalp environment and support healthier-looking hair. The serum is free from toxic chemicals and artificial ingredients and is suitable for all skin and hair types. It is used topically and may be applied in-clinic after scalp preparation or used at home as part of a morning and evening routine.
DE|RIVE is designed to support:
- Scalp health
- Hydration
- Reduction of scalp build-up
- A healthier follicle environment
- The appearance of thicker hair
- Hair strength and quality
- Ongoing maintenance between in-clinic treatments
It is not a one-size-fits-all treatment and does not replace medical assessment.
Some patients may need blood tests, prescription options, supplements or a
combined treatment plan.
DE|RIVE In-Clinic Treatments at Thames Skin Clinic
At Thames Skin Clinic, DE|RIVE may be used in-clinic as part of a structured hair
restoration programme.
The scalp is prepared, and the serum is applied directly to the areas of concern.
Depending on your treatment plan, DE|RIVE may be combined with scalp
microneedling, ultrasound-assisted delivery, Keravive by HydraFacial, PRP or other
hair restoration treatments.
DE|RIVE works exceptionally well when paired with advanced treatments like Ultra+ (a non-invasive device used for hair restoration). Applying DE|RIVE immediately afterward allows the plant-based nutrients to penetrate deeply into these open channels, delivering the serum directly to the hair bulb.
These in-clinic treatments improve the delivery of the serum into the scalp and stimulate natural repair.

FAQs
-
Is DE|RIVE suitable for all types of hair loss?
DE|RIVE is suitable for several types of hair thinning and shedding, including early hair loss, menopause-related thinning, age-related thinning, postpartum shedding, post-illness shedding and some patterns of androgenetic hair loss. Some types of hair loss require medical investigation, prescription treatment or referral, so we always assess suitability first. A consultation with Dr Hemming will confirm the most appropriate approach for your specific concern, as some types of hair loss may benefit more from a combined treatment plan.
-
Is DE|RIVE suitable for menopause-related hair thinning?
DE|RIVE may be suitable for women experiencing hair thinning during perimenopause or menopause. Hormonal changes can affect the hair growth cycle and may contribute to reduced density, increased shedding or finer hair. A consultation is recommended so we can assess whether DE|RIVE is appropriate and whether any additional investigation or treatment is needed.
-
How long does it take to see results?
Many patients notice early changes within the first 30 days of starting DE|RIVE. More significant improvements in hair density and thickness typically develop over several months of consistent use. Clinical cases have shown positive results after five to seven months of twice-daily at-home application alongside in-clinic treatments. Hair growth is gradual, so consistency with treatment and homecare is important.
-
Does DE|RIVE contain any harsh chemicals or artificial ingredients?
DE|RIVE is a 100% plant-based serum and contains no toxic chemicals or artificial ingredients. This makes it a suitable option for patients who prefer a natural approach to hair wellness or those with sensitivities to conventional hair treatments.
-
What does the DE|RIVE treatment programme involve?
The DE|RIVE treatment programme involves three in-clinic appointments spaced 30 days apart, during which one syringe of serum is applied to the scalp. Alongside this, patients use the take-home DE|RIVE serum every morning and evening using the 60ml dropper bottle provided. After the initial three months, the at-home routine continues to maintain results, and a six-month follow-up in-clinic appointment is recommended depending on your progress.
-
Can I use DE|RIVE at the same time as other hair treatments?
DE|RIVE can be used alongside other hair loss treatments we offer at our Twickenham-based clinic and we frequently use it as part of a combined approach. At Thames Skin Clinic, it may be paired with microneedling, Ultra +, PRP or Keravive by HydraFacial depending on your hair concern and treatment goals. Hair supplements can also be used alongside DE|RIVE to support results. Dr Hemming will advise on the best combination during your consultation.
-
How many DE|RIVE treatments will I need?
Many patients begin with a structured course of in-clinic treatments spaced
approximately 30 days apart, supported by twice-daily at-home serum use. A review
is usually recommended to assess progress and decide whether further treatment or maintenance is needed.
