What Is SKINVIVE?

SKINVIVE is FDA approved, a clinically proven solution for glowing results, and your skin’s new best friend. To be precise, it is a microdroplet hyaluronic acid filler designed to hydrate and refresh your skin. Formulated by the filler experts at JUVÉDERM, this modern injectable goes beyond restoring lost volume. Its balanced formula delivers classic HA benefits enhanced by the microdroplets, promoting excellent skin hydration and smoothness.

We offer this treatment for patients who want to address cosmetic concerns in the cheek area, including:

  • Dehydrated, dull skin
  • Loss of cheek smoothness
  • Fine lines around the cheeks

How Does Skinvive Work?

  • The HA: Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body, with excellent water-retention properties.
  • The Microdroplets: These allow for a more controlled and uniform distribution of HA, promoting better improvements in the treatment area.
  • The Hydration: The injected HA will attract water molecules. This boosts skin hydration, leading to natural-looking results.

What Are the Benefits of Skinvive?

  • Glowing Results: Your skin will look healthier because it is healthier. The boost in skin hydration delivers rejuvenating results from the inside out. There are no smoke and mirrors with SKINVIVE, only hydrated, healthy skin.
  • Quick Sessions: A single treatment session will take less than half an hour for most patients. Yet the results can last for up to half a year.
  • Subtle, Natural Improvements: SKINVIVE lets you look better without looking like someone else. Instead of altering facial contours, the treatment brings out the best in your natural features.

FAQs

Is SKINVIVE right for me?

SKINVIVE is known for its high patient satisfaction rate across age groups. For anyone who wants to restore natural hydration and radiance to their cheeks, SKINVIVE could prove an ideal treatment. However, its limited treatment area means it does not address multiple facial concerns. Many patients use it as part of a cosmetic rejuvenation regimen. They will revitalize their cheeks with this injectable while developing other elements of their appearance with other options.

How long does the treatment take?

A single SKINVIVE session should take between 15 and 30 minutes. The treatment involves applying a light numbing cream followed by a series of quick injections. Our board-certified injector expertly handles each treatment, ensuring meticulous placement of each injection.

When will I see the results?

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.

How long do SKINVIVE results last?

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.

Can I repeat the treatment?

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.

Is there any recovery period?

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.

Is SKINVIVE safe?

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.
