While you can notice some instant benefits, SKINVIVE truly shines within 3 to 6 weeks. Leading up to this point, your skin will demonstrate gradual improvements. As the HA continues to draw in water, your skin should look healthier and smoother with each passing day.
With a well-performed treatment, patients can expect about 6 months of SKINVIVE glow. Individual results can vary, but you should be able to expect around half a year of boosted skin quality, enhanced complexion, and renewed facial beauty.
Remember, SKINVIVE can attract water but not create it. So, you still need to stay hydrated throughout the day. Doing so will mean better, longer-lasting results. Additionally, good skin care and healthy habits will help keep your results in peak shape.
You can! Patients can repeat treatment with SKINVIVE to maintain their results. A regimen of one treatment every 3 to 6 months can keep you looking at your best. You can also modulate your treatment over time to include other elements to match your changing preferences.
You may have some minor swelling or bruising after a treatment. If so, it typically resolves within a couple of days. Beyond this, most patients have no real downtime or issues. However, we still recommend you give your cheeks some extra love and care for a few days. Some tips include:
- Avoiding strenuous activity, heat exposure, and alcohol for at least 24 to 48 hours.
- Sleeping with your head elevated until any swelling fades.
- Pausing any abrasive cleaning or massaging of the cheeks until swelling fades.
The FDA approved SKINVIVE particularly for safely and effectively enhancing cheek smoothness. As such, it has been proven to be very safe for a wide range of patients. Still, we take care to minimize risks and enhance your safety. We always consult with patients beforehand to learn about any potential allergies or other risks.
