Regenerative Injectables
SkinVive is a revolutionary injectable treatment designed to provide hydration for your skin and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
As we age, changes in our skin quality become more apparent. Aging combined with loss of elasticity and environmental damage contribute to dull, drier, and thinning skin. SkinVive addresses these conditions by boosting your skin’s internal hydration. Introduced successfully in Europe in 2017, clinical trials show high patient satisfaction levels for patients treated with SkinVive.
What is SkinVive?
SkinVive is an injectable skin booster formulated with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your skin responsible for maintaining hydration. Hyaluronic acid binds water molecules to help keep your skin plump and hydrated. When injected, SkinVive also stimulates collagen production which improves elasticity and reduces the appearance of fine lines.
Unlike other facial injectables that add volume to a treatment area, SkinVive improves the appearance of your skin without changing the shape of the treated area. When SkinVive is injected into your skin, its hydrating gel blends seamlessly with your skin.
What areas can be treated with SkinVive?
SkinVive can instantly hydrate skin for a visibly smoother appearance on your face, neck, chest and hands.

Discover natural rejuvenation with the ultimate blood concentrate.
Our talented Elite Medi Spa team is constantly researching scientifically-based treatments to offer our patients. PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) injections are one of newer treatments we offer to help you look your best. Natural because it’s derived from your own blood, PRF employs your own cells to refine and repair your skin at the cellular level.
As we age, the production of vital elements in our skin are broken down faster than we can rebuild them. The components in PRF help boost rejuvenation and improve your skin’s overall appearance. One of these important components are platelets, which contain hundreds of growth factors. Growth factors act as messengers to stem cells, prompting them to produce collagen and elastin. This provides the foundation for firmer, smoother, healthier, younger looking skin.
Our PRF injections treat a wide variety of concerns including the eye area, cheeks, temples and chin:
- Dark hollows under the eyes
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin discoloration
- Dull, dehydrated skin
What is the difference between PRF and PRP?
PRF and PRP are very similar in that they are both derived from your own plasma. Each will improve the tone and texture of your skin to a varying extent by stimulating the production of collagen. The main difference between the two is the preparation method and the components of each. PRP uses separating agents and an anticoagulant in the extraction process while PRF does not. These differences make each better suited for specific treatments. Speak to one of our experienced medical professionals during your free consultation to explore which will better meet your needs.
What should I expect during a PRF treatment?
We will discuss with you specific aesthetic goals you may have. The appropriate treatment area will be determined and numbing cream will be applied.
We extract a sample of blood from one of your arms, similar to a standard medical blood draw. The sample is carefully processed using a sterile protocol while your skin becomes numb. Your PRF is then extracted from the sample into a clean syringe and injected into the treatment area.
When will I see results?
Results of PRF injections will be seen gradually during the course of several weeks. The majority of patients start to notice improvements within a few weeks, although the results continue to improve for several months after they initially become noticeable. Depending on your aesthetic goals, you may need multiple treatments spread out over a few months. We can outline a treatment plan for you for optimal results.
Will I have downtime?
There is no downtime needed after a PRF injection. You may return to normal activities. Do refrain from activities that require a lot of physical exertion for 24 hours. You may experience some redness, swelling, bruising, and itching at the treatment site for a few days after treatment.
Our team at Elite Medi Spa offers both PRF and PRP and we understand the unique benefits of each for specific aesthetic goals.

BioFill is the latest innovation in PRF treatments. Using only your body’s own components, this bio filler is a natural way to make you look younger by adding rejuvenating volume to your face.
BioFill takes PRF injections a step further by combining all the benefits of PRF with a natural soft filler derived from your own albumin.
What is the Elite BioFill process?
We begin by drawing a sample of your blood into vials and placing these in a specialized centrifuge (deriving growth factors, stem cells and other skin-rejuvenating ingredients not available in PRP). Then a small fraction is taken through a unique process to derive the albumin gel component. The gel and PRF are mixed together to create natural, stimulating BioFill.
What does Elite BioFill treat?
BioFill is a soft natural filler, full of stimulating factors contained in PRF, that enhances the contours of your face without looking artificial. It can be used in combination with other cosmetic procedures to achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
BioFill also stimulates your body to improve skin health and reduce signs of aging (wrinkles, fine lines, loose skin).
Common treatment areas include:
- Under eye hollows
- Deep lines and wrinkles
- Nasolabial folds
- Enhance and round cheeks
- Marionette lines
How long will results last?
This 100% natural bio-filler will yield stimulating results for up to a year. Annual follow up treatments are recommended.
How many treatments will I need?
Each patient’s skin and structure is different. On average, two treatments performed six weeks apart are recommended for optimal stimulating results. An additional treatment annually is recommended.
What is the downtime?
Anticipate very little downtime if any. You may notice a small amount of swelling and pinkness for 1-3 days. There can be mild tenderness to the treated area, which can be managed with Acetaminophen (Tylenol). Swelling at the injection site is typical, and can occasionally be seen 1-2 days after injections, this is normal and should resolve within 48 hours. As with any type of injection, bruising is always a possibility.
Are there any risks associated with Elite BioFill?
Elite BioFill is one of the safest injectables available and can be injected into areas that are considered high-risk zones when using traditional HA fillers. There is always a risk of bleeding and bruising with any injection procedure. Any concerns will gladly be addressed during your consultation.
