Who Are SKINVIVE Treatments in La Canada Right For?

What to Expect With a SKINVIVE Injection at Parfaire
The method of choice for administering SKINVIVE involves microdroplet injections.
After Dr. Moses has assessed your medical history and verified that SKINVIVE is the right option for you, you’ll be prepared to undergo the treatment.
Before the injection is administered, the treatment site will undergo cleaning and numbing through topical anesthesia cream. Subsequently, Dr. Moses will meticulously inject multiple small droplets of SKINVIVE using an extremely fine needle. Typically, the entire procedure lasts about 15 minutes.
The utilization of topical numbing cream, fine needle, and small amount of lidocaine pre-mixed in SKINVIVE results in minimal discomfort and recovery time. Moreover, the small needle lessens the risk of permanent scarring.
You might have to deal with temporary redness, tenderness, or slight swelling after the injection. Just like the other skin injection procedures, these effects are common and are expected to improve within a few hours to up to seven days. It will help if you apply ice packs and take over-the-counter pain relievers for a sped-up healing.
How Soon Will I See Results from SKINVIVE?
Improvement in skin smoothness is typically 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. Combining SKINVIVE™ injections with other cosmetic procedures like Botox or traditional dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM to address various facial concerns simultaneously is quite common. This combination of treatments may offer 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 offer substantial improvements in skin smoothness and quality; however, it’s important to consider that factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and poor skincare habits could impact the results.
By prioritizing a healthy lifestyle, encompassing a balanced diet, regular exercise, and sufficient hydration, you can maximize the benefits of SKINVIVE™ treatments and maintain their effectiveness over time.
SKINVIVE Injection Risks & Side Effects
SKINVIVE™ is generally considered safe, but side effects like redness, swelling, bruising, and itching at the injection site may occur. These symptoms typically subside within a week, but any persistent issues should be reported to 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 cases, severe headache or dizziness may occur following injections.
Despite potential risks, SKINVIVE™ can offer significant benefits when administered safely and with proper medical oversight.
SKINVIVE vs Other Dermal Filler Injections
JUVÉDERM, Botox, and Kybella are classic dermal fillers formulated as gels to lift, augment, and contour facial features.
SKINVIVE™ is a hydration booster containing hyaluronic acid with a water-like texture, formulated to improve skin smoothness, including that of the cheeks. Importantly, it does not impact the contours or structure of your face.
Furthermore, SKINVIVE™ is injected shallowly into the skin, distinguishing it from other facial fillers that are commonly deposited in deeper skin layers.
SKINVIVE™ vs Traditional Skincare Routines or Topical Treatments
By delivering hyaluronic acid directly into the skin through microdroplet injections, SKINVIVE™ promotes targeted hydration and improved skin smoothness. Unlike topical treatments that may not reach deep enough to offer significant results, SKINVIVE™ operates at a deeper level, providing more pronounced and lasting 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.
