Who Are SKINVIVE Treatments in Silver Lake Right For?
What to Expect With a SKINVIVE Injection at Parfaire
SKINVIVE is delivered via the microdroplet injection method.
After Dr. Moses has examined your medical history and confirmed that SKINVIVE is the appropriate choice for you, you’ll be prepared for the treatment.
Prior to the injection, the treatment area will be cleansed and numbed with topical anesthetic cream. Then, Dr. Moses will gently inject several small drops of SKINVIVE using an extremely fine needle. Typically, the procedure takes around 15 minutes.
Through the use of topical numbing cream, fine needle, and a small dose of lidocaine already incorporated in SKINVIVE, discomfort and recovery time are minimized. Furthermore, the small needle decreases the risk of permanent scarring.
Temporary redness, tenderness, or slight swelling at the injection site may happen, which are normal during skin injection procedures and usually improve within a few hours to one week. Using ice packs and taking over-the-counter pain relievers can facilitate quicker healing.
How Soon Will I See Results from SKINVIVE?
Skin smoothness generally improves 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. SKINVIVE™ injections are frequently paired with other cosmetic procedures like Botox or traditional dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM to address multiple facial concerns at once. Combining treatments might provide a more comprehensive rejuvenation and personalized approach to your aesthetic goals.
Are there Lifestyle Factors that Could Affect the Longevity of SKINVIVE™ Injections?
While SKINVIVE™ injections can deliver significant improvements in skin smoothness and quality, certain lifestyle factors like smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and inadequate skincare routines could impact the results.
To optimize the benefits of SKINVIVE™ treatments and ensure their long-term effectiveness, it’s essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle, which includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate hydration.
SKINVIVE Injection Risks & Side Effects
SKINVIVE™ is generally safe to use, but there is a risk of experiencing side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising, and itching at the injection site. These symptoms typically disappear within a week, but if they persist, it’s important to notify 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 starting 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 appropriate medical supervision.
SKINVIVE vs Other Dermal Filler Injections
JUVÉDERM, Botox, and Kybella belong to the category of traditional dermal fillers, formulated as gels to lift, augment, and contour facial features.
SKINVIVE™ is a hydration booster featuring hyaluronic acid with a water-like texture, aimed at improving skin smoothness, including that of the cheeks. It does not, however, affect 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 usually placed in deeper layers of the skin.
SKINVIVE™ vs Traditional Skincare Routines or Topical Treatments
With SKINVIVE™, hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the skin through microdroplets, promoting deep hydration and improved skin smoothness. Unlike topical treatments that may lack sufficient depth for significant results, SKINVIVE™ operates at a deeper level, providing more prominent and longer-lasting effects.
How Much Does SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® Cost?
The cost of optimal treatment can vary, typically falling between $600 to $1000 per session. With injections every six months, expect to pay $1200 to $2000 per year.
