MEDAVITA

Italian scalp science since 1963 — treating the skin before the strand.

Medavita is an Italian professional house founded in 1963 and based in Milan, and it is built the opposite way round to most salon brands: the scalp comes first and the lengths come second. That one decision explains the whole catalogue — five separate scalp lines instead of a single anti-dandruff shampoo, formulas that smell herbal rather than sweet, and a brand whose most famous product is an ampoule rather than a mask.

That ampoule is Lotion Concentrée. It is made over roughly eight months — six of steam-chain distillation with no solvents, then a maceration of exactly 55 days — from arnica, rosemary, aloe, calamus, myrrh, cinnamon, ginger, galbanum, nutmeg and camphor, and it holds the international patent WO 99/20232. The repair side of the house runs on Amino Concentré, a small-molecule complex of serine, threonine, glycine, arginine, glutamic acid and carbocisteine chosen because it is small enough to travel into the fibre instead of sitting on it. Medavita calls its approach Stile Naturale: naturally derived, renewable actives, clinically and dermatologically tested, made in Italy.

ProHair.ca carries the brand properly — the scalp bench (Lotion Concentrée, Requilibre, Puroxine, Velour, Oxygen Detox), the lengths lines (Nutrisubstance, Prodige, β-Refibre, Elisièr, Keratin Miracle, Huile d'Étoile), the complete colour room (145 Luxviva permanent shades, 67 Choice Color Elite shades, 28 semi-permanent liquids, 8 Flash Tone direct dyes, lighteners, developers and the Étoilage freehand tool system) and the Blondie toning range behind it. Most lines run a travel size, a 250 ml retail bottle and a 1 L or 1.25 L professional size, so the back bar and the bathroom use the same formula.

Scalp Treatment & Hair Loss

Best for: Shedding, thinning or a scalp that sets the agenda

The patented Lotion Concentrée ampoule ritual with its 55-day maceration, the daily Energizing Tonic (biotin, caffeine, vitamin C, epilobium), the Vitality Hair & Scalp Cream, and the Male anti-hair-loss shampoo and intensive treatment for men.

Oily, Flaky & Sensitive Scalp

Best for: Greasy roots, visible flakes, or a scalp that reacts

Three different mechanisms, not one shampoo. Requilibre for sebum (abietic acid and soy proteins), Puroxine for dandruff (piroctone olamine, zinc, tea tree), Velour for sensitivity (lavender and wheat germ proteins), plus Oxygen Detox and the Cutis Pura red clay scrub for congestion.

Repair, Reconstruction & Bond

Nourishment, Oils & Shine

Best for: Dry, dull lengths with no other complication

Nutrisubstance for straightforward dryness, the Huile d'Étoile oil ritual (sacha inchi, moringa, sweet cyperus, linseed) for hair you want to feel expensive, Solarich for sun, and the Glossynation lamination service when the brief is shine.

Smoothing, Frizz & Curl

Best for: Frizz that returns with the humidity, or curls that fall flat

Keratin Miracle at acid pH, salt- and sulfate-free, with the Pure Chelating Shampoo to clear the minerals that cause frizz people never check for; Lissublime for smoothing; Curladdict for definition without weight; Hairchitecture for fine, flat hair.

Colour Care & Blonde Toning

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Medavita different from other Italian salon brands?
It starts at the scalp. Most professional brands build a lengths catalogue and add one scalp shampoo; Medavita runs five distinct scalp lines — Lotion Concentrée for shedding, Requilibre for oil, Puroxine for dandruff, Velour for sensitivity and Oxygen Detox for congestion — each with its own mechanism. The lengths lines are built on the same logic: Amino Concentré for reconstruction, Lifesaver Liposome for regeneration, acid pH for smoothing. Founded in 1963 in Milan, made in Italy, clinically and dermatologically tested.
What exactly is Lotion Concentrée, and why is it expensive?
It is Medavita's anti-hair-loss ampoule and the reason the company is known outside Italy. Production runs about eight months: six months of steam-chain distillation with no solvents to draw the base essences, then a maceration of exactly 55 days — Medavita's own phrase is 'no more and no less'. The botanicals are arnica, rosemary, aloe, calamus, myrrh, cinnamon, ginger, galbanum, nutmeg and camphor, and the formula holds the international patent WO 99/20232. Around 120,000 women use it each year. The price reflects an eight-month process, not packaging.
Is Medavita medical or pharmaceutical haircare?
No, and the brand does not claim it. Medavita is cosmetic haircare with a trichology-led, clinically and dermatologically tested approach. It is a good choice for cosmetic scalp concerns — oiliness, flaking, sensitivity, general shedding — but it is not a substitute for a dermatologist. Sudden, rapid or patchy hair loss needs a doctor, not a shelf.
Which Medavita shampoo should I start with?
Decide first whether your problem is the scalp or the lengths, because that is where most people buy wrongly. Scalp: Requilibre if roots are greasy by day two, Puroxine if you see flakes and itch, Velour if your scalp stings or tightens, Oxygen Detox if everything feels heavy. Lengths: Nutrisubstance for plain dryness, Prodige for hair worn out by services, Keratin Miracle for frizz, Blondie if blonde is going brassy, Luxviva Color Care if you have just been coloured. If you genuinely cannot tell, Nutrisubstance Nutritive Shampoo is the safest first purchase in the brand.
What is the difference between Luxviva and Choice Color?
They are two permanent systems for different jobs. Luxviva Il Colore is the wide shade bank — levels 1 to 10 plus a high-lift blonde series, 145 shades in total — and it is the workhorse for grey coverage and level changes. Choice Color Elite is ammonia-free permanent, 67 shades, with a stoichiometric pigment formulation calibrated so a shade develops without residual interference and an oil blend that carries pigment into the fibre rather than onto it. Alongside them sit the Choice Color Semi-Permanent Liquid, an acid-pH oil-gel for toning and glossing, and Luxviva Flash Tone, a direct gel with no ammonia and no oxidant. Most salons carry more than one.
Are the 1 L professional sizes a different formula from the retail bottles?
Generally no. Most lengths lines run a travel size, a 250 ml retail bottle and a 1 L or 1.25 L professional bottle of the same formula in back-bar packaging, which is why the litre is the value buy and the per-millilitre gap is the biggest saving in the brand. A handful of products genuinely are salon-only steps — the Glossynation service, Liss Magic Drops, the Keratin Miracle Smoothing Fluid, the ampoule courses — and those are labelled as professional because they are.
Is Medavita colour-safe?
The lengths and scalp lines are, and Luxviva Color Care exists specifically to hold a fresh colour service in place: the post-colour shampoo and mask work at acid pH to close the cuticle and lock pigment, the Color Fixative Sealing Spray seals, and the Color Enricher Shampoo tops up reflect in four tones between appointments. The lighteners, developers and colour crèmes are professional tools and belong in the salon, not the bathroom.
Do you carry the whole Medavita range in Canada?
ProHair.ca carries the brand in depth — the full scalp bench, the lengths lines, Blondie, the Idol and Idol Man styling ranges, the Étoilage freehand tools and the complete colour room including 145 Luxviva permanent shades, 67 Choice Color Elite shades, 28 semi-permanent liquids and 8 Flash Tone direct dyes. Where a line is thinner here than in Italy, it is because the Canadian roster is thinner, not because we have cherry-picked. Free shipping on orders over $120.

Why Buy From ProHair?

We carry Medavita in depth — the scalp bench, the lengths lines, the full colour room and the Étoilage freehand tools — with the 1 L and 1.25 L professional sizes beside the retail bottles, because the back bar and the bathroom should be using the same formula.
