Who Are SKINVIVE Treatments Right For?
What to Expect With a SKINVIVE Injection at Parfaire
During Your Treatment
SKINVIVE is delivered by microdroplet injection technique.
Once Dr. Moses has done a review of your medical history and determined that SKINVIVE is right for you, you’ll be ready for treatment.
Prior to the injection, the treatment area will be cleaned and numbed with topical anesthetic cream. Then Dr. Moses will gently inject numerous small drops of SKINVIVE with a very small fine needle. On average, treatment takes around 15 minutes.
Thanks to the topical numbing cream, fine needle, and small dose of lidocaine premixed in SKINVIVE, the discomfort and recovery time are minimal. The small needle also reduces the risk of permanent scarring.
After Your Treatment
You might experience temporary redness, tenderness, or slight swelling at the injection site. These are normal during skin injection procedures and will improve within a few hours to one week. Applying ice packs and taking over-the-counter pain relievers can help speed up healing.
How Soon Will I See Results from SKINVIVE?
You’ll see an improvement in skin smoothness in just 5 to 7 days. The effects last up to 6 months with optimal treatment.
Can SKINVIVE™ be Combined with Other Cosmetic Procedures?
Yes, SKINVIVE™ injections can often be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as Botox or traditional dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM to address multiple facial concerns simultaneously. Combining treatments might provide a more comprehensive rejuvenation and tailored approach to your aesthetic goals.
Are there Lifestyle Factors that Could Affect the Longevity of SKINVIVE™ Injections?
While SKINVIVE™ injections can provide significant improvements in skin smoothness and quality, certain lifestyle factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and poor skincare habits might impact the results.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate hydration, can help optimize the benefits of SKINVIVE™ treatments and prolong their longevity.
SKINVIVE Injection Risks & Side Effects
SKINVIVE™ is generally safe, but side effects can occur, including redness, swelling, bruising, and itching at the injection site. These usually resolve within a week; persistent symptoms should be reported to 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 undergoing treatment. In very rare cases, severe headache or dizziness might occur after injections.
Despite risks, SKINVIVE™ can offer significant benefits when administered safely and with proper medical guidance.
SKINVIVE vs Other Dermal Filler Injections
Traditional dermal filler injections such as JUVÉDERM, Botox, and Kybella are gels designed to lift, augment, and contour facial structures.
SKINVIVE™ is a water-like skin hyaluronic acid hydration booster that improves skin smoothness (including cheek skin smoothness). It will not change the contours or structure of your face.
Further, SKINVIVE™ is injected very shallowly into the skin, while other facial fillers are placed in deeper layers of skin.
SKINVIVE™ vs Traditional Skincare Routines or Topical Treatments
SKINVIVE™ offers a more targeted approach by delivering hyaluronic acid directly into the skin through microdroplet injections, resulting in deep hydration and improved skin smoothness. Unlike topical treatments, which might not penetrate deeply enough to provide significant results, SKINVIVE™ acts at a deeper level for more noticeable and longer-lasting effects.
How Much Does SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® Cost?
The cost for optimal treatment varies, but you should expect to pay between $600-$1000 per treatment. If you are receiving injections every six months, that is $1200-$2000 per year.
