Who Are SKINVIVE Treatments in Glendale Right For?
What to Expect With a SKINVIVE Injection at Parfaire
SKINVIVE utilizes the microdroplet injection method for delivery.
Following Dr. Moses’ assessment of your medical background and his confirmation of SKINVIVE’s suitability for you, you’ll be prepared for the treatment.
Before the injection, the treatment area will be cleansed and numbed using topical anesthesia cream. Then, Dr. Moses will gently inject several small drops of SKINVIVE using an extremely fine needle. Generally, the treatment session lasts for approximately 15 minutes.
The utilization of topical numbing cream, a fine needle, and a small dose of lidocaine pre-mixed in SKINVIVE ensures minimal discomfort and recovery time. Additionally, the use of a small needle reduces the likelihood of permanent scarring.
Temporary redness, tenderness, or slight swelling at the injection site may occur, which are normal occurrences during skin injection procedures and usually subside within a few hours to one week. Using ice packs and taking over-the-counter pain relievers can help expedite the healing process.
How Soon Will I See Results from SKINVIVE?
Improvement in skin smoothness is often observed within 5 to 7 days. With optimal treatment, the results can last up to 6 months.
Can SKINVIVE™ be Combined with Other Cosmetic Procedures?
Yes, SKINVIVE™ injections can often be merged with other cosmetic procedures such as Botox or traditional dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM to target multiple facial concerns concurrently. This combined approach to treatments could provide a more comprehensive rejuvenation and tailored response to your aesthetic desires.
Are there Lifestyle Factors that Could Affect the Longevity of SKINVIVE™ Injections?
SKINVIVE™ injections offer substantial improvements in skin smoothness and quality; however, lifestyle factors like smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and poor skincare habits could impact the outcomes.
Optimal benefits from SKINVIVE™ treatments and longer-lasting results can be achieved by adopting a healthy lifestyle, which includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate hydration.
SKINVIVE Injection Risks & Side Effects
Although SKINVIVE™ is generally safe, it can lead to side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising, and itching at the injection site. These symptoms usually resolve within a week, but if they persist, it’s important to inform your healthcare provider.
Severe allergic reactions such as inflammation and infection are rare but possible. Individuals with multiple severe allergies should consult an allergist before starting treatment. In very rare cases, severe headache or dizziness may occur following injections.
Despite potential risks, SKINVIVE™ can offer significant benefits when administered safely and with proper medical supervision.
SKINVIVE vs Other Dermal Filler Injections
JUVÉDERM, Botox, and Kybella belong to the category of traditional dermal fillers, designed as gels to lift, augment, and sculpt facial features.
SKINVIVE™, a hydration booster featuring hyaluronic acid with a water-like texture, is designed to enhance skin smoothness, including that of the cheeks, without altering the contours or structure of your face.
In addition, SKINVIVE™ is injected into the skin at a shallow depth, unlike other facial fillers that are commonly placed in deeper layers of the skin.
SKINVIVE™ vs Traditional Skincare Routines or Topical Treatments
By delivering hyaluronic acid directly into the skin through microdroplet injections, SKINVIVE™ provides targeted hydration and improved skin smoothness. Unlike topical treatments that may not penetrate deeply for substantial results, SKINVIVE™ operates at a deeper level, delivering more prominent and lasting effects.
How Much Does SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® Cost?
Optimal treatment costs typically range from $600 to $1000 per session. If you’re receiving injections every six months, anticipate spending $1200 to $2000 per year.
