Treatment Benefits
SKINVIVE™ is ideal for those looking to achieve radiant, youthful skin
It goes beyond just cosmetic enhancement, promoting deep hydration and holistic rejuvenation. Combining science and nature, SKINVIVE™ ensures transformative results.
Replenishment of Moisture and Revitalization
Unlike topical creams that merely skim the surface, SKINVIVE™ penetrates deeply into the dermal layers, hydrating the skin from within. This moisture plumps the skin, smooths away fine lines and wrinkles, and helps create a supple, dewy complexion.
Stimulation of Collagen Production and Better Elasticity
Another benefit of SKINVIVE™ is that it jumpstarts the body's natural collagen synthesis process. This leads to a gradual improvement in skin texture and firmness, restoring elasticity and resilience.
How Does SKINVIVE™ Work?
SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is an intradermal injection designed to improve facial skin smoothness. This dermal filler contains hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain skin hydration and volume. When injected into the skin, SKINVIVE™ replenishes lost hyaluronic acid, restoring moisture and promoting a plump, youthful appearance. Hyaluronic acid can help stimulate your body’s collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness. By addressing both hydration and collagen synthesis, SKINVIVE™ leaves the skin looking refreshed and revitalized.
Application Process
The application of SKINVIVE™ is performed by our skilled practitioners at Pacific Derm. First, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and prepped to ensure optimal results. Next, using fine needles, the filler will be carefully injected into targeted areas of the cheeks. Our practitioners utilize their expertise to achieve precise placement and optimal results, ensuring natural-looking enhancements.
The entire process is quick, taking about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the extent of the treatment. After the injections, you may experience minor swelling or redness, but these side effects should go away within a few days.
Treatment areas
Cheeks
SKINVIVE™ can restore lost volume to the cheeks, creating a more youthful contour and reducing the appearance of hollows. By replenishing hyaluronic acid, SKINVIVE™ lifts and plumps the cheeks, restoring a youthful fullness that tends to diminish with age.
Frequently Asked Questions about SKINVIVE™
Who is a candidate for SKINVIVE™?
-
SKINVIVE™ is suitable for individuals seeking to address signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of volume. Good candidates are generally in good health. However, it's essential to consult with our dermatologist here at Pacific Derm to determine if SKINVIVE™ is right for you. Caution is necessary for those with severe allergies, particularly to skincare products or injections, and individuals with autoimmune conditions.
How do you prepare for SKINVIVE™?
-
Before undergoing SKINVIVE™ treatment, it's essential to schedule a consultation with a skilled practitioner to discuss your medical history, skincare goals, and expectations. To prepare for the procedure itself, avoid blood-thinning medications (such as aspirin), alcohol, and excessive sun exposure in the days leading up to your appointment. Show up for your session with clean, makeup-free skin and get a good night’s rest beforehand.
Are there any risks?
-
While SKINVIVE™ is generally considered safe, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects to be aware of. These may include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, or discomfort at the injection site. However, these side effects are typically mild and resolve on their own within a few days. It's essential to follow your dermatologist's post-treatment instructions to minimize any risks and ensure long-lasting results.
Is there any downtime?
-
One of the major advantages of SKINVIVE™ is that it requires very little downtime. While you may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection site immediately after treatment, these effects are temporary. Most individuals can resume their normal activities immediately following the procedure. Any bruising or swelling can be covered with makeup, although it’s recommended not to use it for at least 24 hours following the procedure to help prevent infection.
How long will the results last?
-
The longevity of your results can vary depending on factors such as your metabolism, activity level, and which areas were treated. However, on average, results typically last about six months. To maintain optimal results, follow-up treatments may be recommended at intervals determined by your dermatologist.
How much does the SKINVIVE™ treatment cost?
-
The cost of SKINVIVE™ treatment can vary depending on which area you have treated, the amount of product used, and the practitioner's expertise. During your consultation, your dermatologist will discuss the potential costs. While SKINVIVE™ may be an upfront investment in your skincare regimen, the results are well worth it for the confidence and rejuvenation it provides.
