SkinVive

Do you struggle with dry skin, fine lines, or a dull complexion? SkinVive could be precisely what you need to restore your skin’s natural glow. 

What Is SkinVive?

SkinVive is a first-of-its-kind cosmetic injectable treatment by the makers of  Juvéderm, a trusted and popular cosmetic filler brand. SkinVive differs from typical fillers in that it doesn’t add volume to your face or change its contours. SkinVive utilizes the power of hyaluronic acid (see below) in a unique, lightweight gel form to give patients a younger, fresher look. 

But what exactly is hyaluronic acid, and why is it so important for our skin? Let’s explore this key ingredient and understand its role in maintaining healthy skin.

What Does Hyaluronic Acid Do?

Hyaluronic acid is the body’s natural hydrator and plays an essential role in your skin’s health. It acts as a sponge to attract and maintain water. This is crucial for skin’s radiance, elasticity and overall appearance.

Over time, our skin’s natural levels of hyaluronic acid decrease due to factors like aging, sun exposure, and environmental stressors. This loss of hyaluronic acid can lead to dryness, fine lines, and a loss of firmness.

What Are The Benefits of SkinVive?

In skincare, hyaluronic acid is highly valued for its ability to restore moisture and support the skin’s overall health. However, due to the size of the molecule, topical products with this ingredient cannot deeply penetrate the skin to provide thorough hydration — but SkinVive by Juvéderm can! The hyaluronic acid injection deposits the natural substance directly underneath the skin’s surface to maximize its benefits, including: 

  • Smoother Skin: SkinVive stimulates collagen production, which is essential for skin elasticity and firmness. Combined with the hydrating benefits of hyaluronic acid, SkinVive can give you smoother, younger skin with improved texture. It’s perfect for those looking to prevent early signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, without changing your natural beauty. 
  • Natural-Looking Results: Speaking of natural beauty, SkinVive is not a filler so it won’t change the shape or structure of your face. It works deep within the skin to boost hydration and elasticity, providing a subtle yet powerful enhancement that still looks like you, just with glowing, rejuvenated skin!
  • Long-Lasting Effects:  Unlike topical treatments such as serums and moisturizers which need to be applied daily or weekly to maintain results, SkinVive’s results can last for up to six months depending on your skin type and lifestyle. If you’ve tried topical treatments with temporary results, long-lasting SkinVive is a great answer for hydrated, glowing skin.

FAQs About SkinVive

How Long Do Results Last?

The results of SkinVive can vary from person to person, but typically, you can expect the effects to last around six months. Some patients benefit from a touch-up session after the first month, but this isn’t required. 

Is There Downtime?

One of the best things about SkinVive is that appointments are quick, and there’s little to no downtime afterward, so you can usually get back to your day right away. Just take it easy for the first 24 hours: avoid intense workouts, heavy sun or heat exposure, and skip the alcohol to give your skin time to settle. Also, if you’re thinking about getting laser treatments, chemical peels, or anything else after SkinVive, it’s a good idea to hold off until we give you the go-ahead. This ensures that your skin has time to recover and you get the best possible results from your treatment!

What Are The Possible Side Effects?

Like any cosmetic treatment, SkinVive hyaluronic acid injections can have some side effects, though they’re usually mild and temporary. The most common ones include slight redness, swelling, or bruising around the injection sites. These effects typically go away on their own within 7 days or less. Some people might also notice small bumps or itching, but these usually resolve just as fast.
