Who Are SKINVIVE Treatments in Arcadia Right For?
What to Expect With a SKINVIVE Injection at Parfaire
SKINVIVE is administered using the microdroplet injection technique.
Once Dr. Moses has assessed your medical records and concluded that SKINVIVE is the appropriate choice for you, you’ll be ready for the treatment.
Before the injection, the treatment area will be sanitized and numbed with topical anesthesia cream. Following this, Dr. Moses will carefully inject multiple small doses of SKINVIVE using a very fine needle. Generally, the treatment process lasts for approximately 15 minutes.
Thanks to the topical numbing cream, fine needle, and small amount of lidocaine already present in SKINVIVE, discomfort and recovery time are minimal. Moreover, the small needle minimizes the risk of permanent scarring.
You may experience temporary redness, tenderness, or slight swelling at the injection site, which are common during skin injection procedures and usually improve within a few hours to one week. Applying ice packs and taking over-the-counter pain relievers can help accelerate healing.
How Soon Will I See Results from SKINVIVE?
An increase in skin smoothness is usually noticed within 5 to 7 days. With optimal treatment, the effects can last up to 6 months.
Can SKINVIVE™ be Combined with Other Cosmetic Procedures?
Yes. SKINVIVE™ injections are frequently combined with other cosmetic procedures such as Botox or traditional dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM to address multiple facial concerns at once. Combining treatments might offer a more comprehensive rejuvenation and tailored approach to achieving your aesthetic goals.
Are there Lifestyle Factors that Could Affect the Longevity of SKINVIVE™ Injections?
While SKINVIVE™ injections can greatly improve skin smoothness and quality, it’s important to note that lifestyle choices like smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and inadequate skincare routines might affect the outcomes.
Adopting a healthy lifestyle, which encompasses a well-rounded diet, consistent physical activity, and appropriate hydration, can amplify the benefits of SKINVIVE™ treatments and prolong their efficacy.
SKINVIVE Injection Risks & Side Effects
SKINVIVE™ is generally safe, but there is a risk of experiencing side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising, and itching at the injection site. These symptoms typically resolve within a week, but persistent issues should be reported to your healthcare provider.
While severe allergic reactions like inflammation and infection are rare, they are still possible. Those with multiple severe allergies should seek advice from an allergist before undergoing treatment. In extremely rare cases, severe headache or dizziness may occur post-injection.
Despite inherent risks, SKINVIVE™ can deliver significant advantages when administered safely and with proper medical oversight.
SKINVIVE vs Other Dermal Filler Injections
JUVÉDERM, Botox, and Kybella are classic dermal fillers known for their gel-based formulation, aimed at lifting, enhancing, and shaping facial contours.
SKINVIVE™ is a hyaluronic acid hydration booster with a consistency akin to water, formulated to enhance skin smoothness, including that of the cheeks. It is important to note that it does not modify the contours or structure of your face.
Moreover, SKINVIVE™ is injected shallowly into the skin, setting it apart from other facial fillers that are usually deposited in deeper skin layers.
SKINVIVE™ vs Traditional Skincare Routines or Topical Treatments
With SKINVIVE™, hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the skin through microdroplets, facilitating deep hydration and improved skin smoothness. Unlike topical treatments that may not penetrate deeply enough to deliver notable results, SKINVIVE™ operates at a deeper level, ensuring more prominent and longer-lasting effects.
How Much Does SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® Cost?
Expect to pay between $600 to $1000 per session for optimal treatment. If you’re receiving injections every six months, this equates to an annual cost of $1200 to $2000.
