Who Are SKINVIVE Treatments in Alhambra Right For?
What to Expect With a SKINVIVE Injection at Parfaire
Microdroplet injection technique is employed to deliver SKINVIVE.
After a thorough evaluation of your medical history by Dr. Moses and his approval of SKINVIVE for you, you’ll be all set for the treatment.
Prior to the injection, the treatment area will be cleaned and numbed with topical anesthetic cream. Then, Dr. Moses will gently inject several small drops of SKINVIVE using an extremely fine needle. Typically, the procedure takes about 15 minutes.
The presence of topical numbing cream, fine needle, and a small dose of lidocaine pre-mixed in SKINVIVE results in minimal discomfort and recovery time. Additionally, the use of a small needle reduces the risk of permanent scarring.
Temporary redness, tenderness, or slight swelling at the injection site could happen, which are typical during skin injection procedures and typically resolve within a few hours to one week. Using ice packs and taking over-the-counter pain relievers can aid in speeding up the healing process.
How Soon Will I See Results from SKINVIVE?
You’ll likely see a boost in skin smoothness within 5 to 7 days. With optimal treatment, these effects can persist for up to 6 months.
Can SKINVIVE™ be Combined with Other Cosmetic Procedures?
Yes, it’s common to combine SKINVIVE™ injections with other cosmetic procedures like Botox or traditional dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM to address various facial concerns simultaneously. This combination of treatments could provide a more comprehensive rejuvenation and personalized solution to meet your aesthetic goals.
Are there Lifestyle Factors that Could Affect the Longevity of SKINVIVE™ Injections?
SKINVIVE™ injections can lead to significant enhancements in skin smoothness and quality, but certain lifestyle factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and poor skincare habits may affect the results.
By incorporating a healthy lifestyle, characterized by a balanced diet, regular exercise, and ample hydration, you can enhance the benefits of SKINVIVE™ treatments and maintain their effectiveness for a longer period.
SKINVIVE Injection Risks & Side Effects
While SKINVIVE™ is generally safe, it can cause side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising, and itching at the injection site. These symptoms usually go away within a week, but if they persist, it’s important to notify your healthcare provider.
Severe allergic reactions such as inflammation and infection are uncommon but can occur. Those with multiple severe allergies should consult an allergist prior to treatment. In extremely rare instances, severe headache or dizziness might occur after injections.
Despite potential risks, when administered safely and under the supervision of healthcare professionals, SKINVIVE™ can provide substantial benefits.
SKINVIVE vs Other Dermal Filler Injections
Dermal filler injections such as JUVÉDERM, Botox, and Kybella are gels intended to elevate, augment, and contour facial structures.
SKINVIVE™ is a skin hydration booster enriched with hyaluronic acid, delivering a water-like texture to improve skin smoothness, including that of the cheeks. It does not, however, change the contours or structure of your face.
Additionally, SKINVIVE™ is administered with shallow injections into the skin, in contrast to other facial fillers that are often placed deeper within the skin layers.
SKINVIVE™ vs Traditional Skincare Routines or Topical Treatments
SKINVIVE™ utilizes microdroplet injections to deliver hyaluronic acid directly into the skin, promoting deep hydration and enhanced skin smoothness. Unlike topical treatments that may not reach deep enough to offer significant results, SKINVIVE™ acts at a deeper level, resulting in more noticeable and enduring effects.
How Much Does SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® Cost?
The cost of optimal treatment can vary, generally falling between $600 to $1000 per session. With injections every six months, you should budget around $1200 to $2000 annually.
