Who Are SKINVIVE Treatments in Los Angeles Right For?
What to Expect With a SKINVIVE Injection at Parfaire
The method of microdroplet injection is utilized in delivering SKINVIVE.
Once your medical history has been assessed by Dr. Moses and SKINVIVE is deemed appropriate for you, you’ll be set for the treatment.
Preceding the injection, the treatment site will be sanitized and numbed using a topical anesthetic cream. Following this, Dr. Moses will carefully administer numerous small droplets of SKINVIVE using an ultrafine needle. On average, the treatment duration is about 15 minutes.
Thanks to the topical numbing cream, fine needle, and a small amount of lidocaine pre-blended in SKINVIVE, discomfort and recovery time are minimized. Moreover, the small needle decreases the risk of long-term scarring.
You may encounter temporary redness, tenderness, or slight swelling at the injection site, which are common during skin injection procedures and typically resolve within a few hours to one week. Applying ice packs and taking over-the-counter pain relievers can facilitate quicker healing.
How Soon Will I See Results from SKINVIVE?
You can expect to notice an enhancement in skin smoothness within 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. 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 might offer a more comprehensive rejuvenation and tailored solution to meet your aesthetic goals.
Are there Lifestyle Factors that Could Affect the Longevity of SKINVIVE™ Injections?
While SKINVIVE™ injections are effective in enhancing skin smoothness and quality, factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and neglecting skincare routines may affect the results.
By maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which involves consuming a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and ensuring proper hydration, you can enhance the benefits of SKINVIVE™ treatments and prolong their effectiveness.
SKINVIVE Injection Risks & Side Effects
SKINVIVE™ is generally considered safe; however, 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 brought to the attention of your healthcare provider.
While severe allergic reactions such as inflammation and infection are rare, they are still possible. Individuals with multiple severe allergies should seek advice from an allergist before starting treatment. In very rare instances, severe headache or dizziness may occur following injections.
Despite potential risks, when administered safely and under proper medical guidance, SKINVIVE™ can provide substantial benefits.
SKINVIVE vs Other Dermal Filler Injections
Dermal filler injections like JUVÉDERM, Botox, and Kybella are gel formulations created to elevate, enhance, and shape facial features.
SKINVIVE™ is a hyaluronic acid hydration booster with a water-like consistency that enhances skin smoothness, including the smoothness of cheek skin. Importantly, it does not alter the contours or structure of your face.
Additionally, SKINVIVE™ is injected into the skin at a very shallow depth, unlike other facial fillers that are typically placed in deeper layers of the skin.
SKINVIVE™ vs Traditional Skincare Routines or Topical Treatments
SKINVIVE™ provides a precise method by delivering hyaluronic acid directly into the skin through microdroplet injections, promoting deep hydration and enhanced skin smoothness. In contrast to topical treatments that may not penetrate deeply enough for substantial results, SKINVIVE™ operates at a deeper level, ensuring more prominent and enduring effects.
How Much Does SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® Cost?
The cost for optimal treatment can vary, but typically falls between $600 to $1000 per session. If you’re undergoing injections every six months, that amounts to $1200 to $2000 per year.
