Are you interested in a treatment that boosts your skin’s hydration for a long-lasting radiant glow? SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is an innovative injectable that hydrates the skin from the inside out. It provides a refreshed and healthy glow while increasing hyaluronic acid levels to enhance skin smoothness and moisture retention in the cheeks. We offer SKINVIVE at Stoker Aesthetics in Marina del Rey, California, for our patients in the Greater Los Angeles Area.
What Is SKINVIVE?
SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM is a revolutionary skin treatment that utilizes a modified hyaluronic acid (HA) gel injected as intradermal microdroplets to work beneath the surface to improve the smoothness and hydration of your skin. The HA in SKINVIVE works synergistically with your skin’s natural HA to enhance hydration and maintain a healthy glow.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume, SKINVIVE focuses on enhancing your skin’s texture and overall appearance, giving you a refreshed and radiant look.
As the driving force behind the premier med spa in Los Angeles, Dr. David Stoker combines elite qualifications with a passion for innovation. He personally vets each of the treatments offered at Stoker Aesthetics, ensuring that our world-class team provides the safest, most effective procedures for turning your aesthetic dreams into reality.
How Is SKINVIVE Different Than Other Dermal Fillers?
SKINVIVE stands out from other dermal fillers due to its unique formulation and application method. Here’s how:
Microdroplet Technique: SKINVIVE is administered through tiny, precise injections within the dermis layer, ensuring a natural appearance without altering the shape or volume of your face.
Hyaluronic Acid Benefits: The modified HA in SKINVIVE is designed to improve your skin’s hydration from within, promoting a healthy glow and smoother texture.
Non-Volumizing: Unlike traditional fillers that add volume to specific areas, SKINVIVE enhances the overall quality of your skin, making it look naturally refreshed and rejuvenated.
When Is SKINVIVE the Right Choice?
SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM is an excellent option for those looking to improve their skin’s appearance without significant downtime or changes to their facial structure.
Consider SKINVIVE if you:
Want to enhance skin smoothness and hydration
Seek a treatment that works for all skin types and tones
Desire a refreshed and glowing complexion
Are looking for a quick, convenient procedure with minimal downtime
What Is a Treatment Like?
A typical SKINVIVE treatment session lasts about 15 minutes, making it perfect for a quick visit during your lunch break. Here’s what to expect:
Preparation: Your experienced injector will cleanse your skin and may apply a topical anesthetic to ensure comfort.
Injections: Multiple microdroplet injections are performed on each cheek, using a tiny amount of product just below the skin’s surface.
Comfort: Like other products in theJUVÉDERM family, SKINVIVE contains lidocaine to minimize discomfort during injections.
Potential Side Effects
While SKINVIVE is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience minor side effects such as:
Redness or swelling at the injection sites
Bruising
Tenderness
These side effects typically resolve within a few days.
What Can I Expect After a SKINVIVE Treatment?
Post-treatment, you can expect:
Immediate Results: Noticeable skin smoothness and hydration enhancement with continued improvement in skin radiance and quality over two weeks.
Minimal Downtime: Resume most normal activities immediately, with recommendations to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and alcohol for the first 24 hours.
Follow-Up: You may benefit from touch-up sessions to maintain optimal results.
How Long Do Results Last?
The effects of SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM can last up to nine months. Regular maintenance treatments can sustain these benefits over time.
