What Is SkinVive?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in our skin that’s known for its ability to attract and retain moisture. It’s what keeps our complexion soft and dewy. However, as we age, HA production starts to decline, contributing to a loss of elasticity, dullness and worsening skin texture. SkinVive harnesses the moisture-attracting properties of HA to combat some of these changes, increasing hydration to rejuvenate your appearance.
SkinVive by Juvéderm is the world’s first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) microdroplet injectable, designed to help your skin retain moisture and maintain a soft, youthful complexion. Unlike other HA products in the Juvéderm family, SkinVive is a “skin booster,” not a filler. Instead of rebuilding volume or contouring the face, it is uniquely formulated to hydrate your skin from within and give you a healthy, dewy glow. Once injected, it diffuses evenly beneath the skin to improve texture and smoothness for up to six months.
Benefits of SkinVive
SkinVive leverages the power of HA to rehydrate your skin, addressing concerns like a lack of elasticity and dullness. In clinical trials, patients reported a softer, dewier complexion and increased smoothness in the cheeks that lasted six months. Other benefits include:
- Rehydrates from within for a healthy glow
- Helps your skin feel more youthful and supple
- Enhances your skin’s overall texture
- Improves skin elasticity and softness
- Softens the appearance of fine lines and minor scars
- Results last for up to six months after a single treatment
- Safe for all skin tones and types
- Minimally invasive treatments with no downtime
Ideal Candidates for SkinVive
SkinVive uses a unique microdroplet formula that is ideal for men and women looking to improve the softness and texture of their skin. Whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, 40s or above, this timeless treatment can rejuvenate your appearance and help achieve and maintain a youthful, dewy glow. Other factors that make someone a good candidate for SkinVive include:
- Anyone bothered by concerns like dryness, dullness and the early signs of aging
- Adults over the age of 21 looking to give their complexion a “soft-focus” effect
- No known allergies to any of the ingredients used (including lidocaine)
- Realistic goals and expectations regarding the outcome of treatment
While changes in skin quality and volume loss are both signs of aging that go hand-in-hand, you might not be satisfied with the results of SkinVive if you experience deep-set wrinkles or significant volume loss. Instead, you’ll likely experience a better outcome by combining SkinVive with fillers that target volume loss or wrinkle relaxers like Botox or Daxxify. During your initial consultation, our experienced team will evaluate your concerns and recommend the best treatment or combination of treatments for achieving your aesthetic goals.
What to Expect During Your SkinVive Treatment
SkinVive is a quick, convenient, minimally invasive treatment that can be completed in 15 minutes or less. During your appointment, our providers will cleanse your skin and use an ultra-fine needle to inject SkinVive into the cheeks and midface, adding hydration where it’s needed most to provide you with a lasting glow. The formula contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, so discomfort is minimal and no further numbing is typically needed. Afterward, you’ll be free to go home and resume your normal routine with no downtime, making it perfect for a lunchtime “glow up” or rejuvenating your appearance before a big event.
SkinVive Results & Recovery
No downtime is required after your SkinVive treatment, but we recommend avoiding strenuous activities and excessive sun exposure for the first 24 hours post-injection. Following your appointment, our team will provide you with aftercare instructions to help ensure the best possible results.
You’ll see an immediate plumping and softening effect after your treatment. Improvements in your skin’s texture and quality will continue to develop as the HA microdroplets diffuse beneath the skin and increase hydration in treated areas. You can expect your full results to appear one week after your appointment and last for up to six months. You can prolong your results by combining SkinVive with a medical-grade skincare routine and scheduling regular touch-up treatments as the effects begin to wear off.
The results of SkinVive are noticeable but tend to be more subtle than volumizing fillers. If you have other concerns you’d like to address, such as volume loss, skin laxity, crow’s feet or sun damage, Dr. Maas and his team of aesthetic experts can develop a personalized treatment plan to provide more comprehensive rejuvenation and help you achieve your unique goals.
