If your skin is dull and lacking hydration, give it a glow with Skinvive, one of my newest injection offerings designed to give your skin a more hydrated look while improving skin suppleness and texture.
From the makers of Juvederm and Botox, Skinvive is one of the first skin boosters to be implemented in the U.S. and is at the forefront of injectable technology designed to smooth and hydrate the skin. In fact, Skinvive is the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable in the U.S. to improve cheek skin smoothness.
How Does the Skinvive Procedure Work?
Unlike many traditional injections, Skinvive is designed to hydrate the skin and improve smoothness without changing the shape or fullness of the face. An injection of hyaluronic acid, a molecule that increases your skin’s ability to replenish moisture, Skinvive improves your skin’s internal hydration.
While the skin produces hyaluronic acid naturally, it depletes with sun exposure and age. By helping your skin retain moisture, Skinvive creates a healthy and long-lasting glow.
What Does the Skinvive Procedure Look Like?
The Skinvive procedure consists of tiny microinjections throughout the cheek regions. Your licensed professional will create a grid of dots roughly a centimeter apart and inject small amounts of modified hyaluronic acid gel into the dermis layer.
In total, the entire procedure time is only around fifteen minutes and should consist of little to no pain. The procedure is also proven to work on a diverse range of skin types.
What Can You Expect with Results and Recovery?
Compared to other injection treatments, downtime for Skinvive is minimal. You can resume normal day-to-day activities immediately. Avoid strenuous exercise, intense sun exposure, and drinking alcohol for the first twenty-four hours after the treatment. Minor side effects like redness and slight swelling should subside within one week.
Following the procedure, you can expect to see hydration and a glow that builds in the first initial weeks and lasts up to six months. Survey results from patients who have received Juvederm are overwhelmingly positive with over seventy percent of respondents seeing improvements in skin quality and radiance.
