Who Are SKINVIVE Treatments in Altadena Right For?
What to Expect With a SKINVIVE Injection at Parfaire
Delivery of SKINVIVE is achieved through the microdroplet injection technique.
Upon completion of Dr. Moses’ review of your medical history and his determination that SKINVIVE is the right option for you, you’ll be ready to undergo the treatment.
Preceding the injection, the treatment area will be sanitized and numbed using topical anesthetic cream. Following this, Dr. Moses will gently administer numerous small drops of SKINVIVE using a very fine needle. On average, the treatment duration is around 15 minutes.
With the application of topical numbing cream, a fine needle, and a small amount of lidocaine already included in SKINVIVE, discomfort and recovery time are minimized. Furthermore, the use of a small needle decreases the risk of permanent scarring.
You might notice temporary redness, tenderness, or mild swelling at the injection site, which are expected during skin injection procedures and generally improve within a few hours to one week. Applying ice packs and taking over-the-counter pain relievers can assist in hastening the healing process.
How Soon Will I See Results from SKINVIVE?
Skin smoothness typically shows improvement within just 5 to 7 days. With optimal treatment, these effects can last for up to 6 months.
Can SKINVIVE™ be Combined with Other Cosmetic Procedures?
Yes, combining SKINVIVE™ injections with other cosmetic procedures like Botox or traditional dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM to tackle multiple facial concerns simultaneously is quite common. This combination of treatments may offer a more comprehensive rejuvenation and customized approach to fulfilling your aesthetic aspirations.
Are there Lifestyle Factors that Could Affect the Longevity of SKINVIVE™ Injections?
Despite the significant improvements in skin smoothness and quality achieved with SKINVIVE™ injections, lifestyle habits such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and neglecting skincare routines might influence the results.
Ensuring a healthy lifestyle, with a focus on balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, and proper hydration, can optimize the benefits of SKINVIVE™ treatments and extend their longevity.
SKINVIVE Injection Risks & Side Effects
SKINVIVE™ is generally safe to use, but there is a possibility of experiencing side effects like redness, swelling, bruising, and itching at the injection site. These symptoms typically disappear within a week, but if they persist, it’s advisable to consult your healthcare provider.
Although severe allergic reactions like inflammation and infection are rare, they can still happen. Individuals with multiple severe allergies should consult an allergist prior to treatment. In very rare instances, severe headache or dizziness might occur after injections.
Despite the risks involved, when administered safely and under the guidance of qualified medical professionals, SKINVIVE™ can offer considerable benefits.
SKINVIVE vs Other Dermal Filler Injections
Traditional dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM, Botox, and Kybella are formulated as gels to lift, enhance, and define facial structures.
SKINVIVE™ is a hydration booster infused with hyaluronic acid, offering a water-like consistency to enhance skin smoothness, including the smoothness of cheek skin. It does not, however, modify the contours or structure of your face.
Moreover, SKINVIVE™ is injected shallowly into the skin, distinguishing it from other facial fillers that are typically deposited in deeper skin layers.
SKINVIVE™ vs Traditional Skincare Routines or Topical Treatments
SKINVIVE™ employs microdroplet injections to deliver hyaluronic acid directly into the skin, facilitating deep hydration and enhanced skin smoothness. Unlike topical treatments, which may not reach deep enough to deliver significant results, SKINVIVE™ works at a deeper level, ensuring more noticeable and enduring effects.
How Much Does SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® Cost?
The price for optimal treatment varies, usually ranging from $600 to $1000 per session. With injections scheduled every six months, you can expect to spend $1200 to $2000 annually.
