SKINVIVE by Juvéderm®

Your skin is the largest organ in your body and your number one ally—it protects you from the elements and grows with you as you age, healing and stretching whenever necessary. Being your first line of defense, your skin takes a beating over time. Sun damage can cause your skin to form lines, and temperature changes can dry out your skin.

There are many great products out there you can use to rejuvenate your skin, yet many patients seeking medical skin rejuvenation are wary about adding volume to their faces. Fortunately, medical advancements in skin injection procedures and hyaluronic acid fillers have led Juvéderm to create the first-ever hydrating cheek injectable, SKINVIVE.

What is SKINVIVE?

SKINVIVE is an extremely quick treatment where patients can pop in and pop out without missing a beat in their daily routine. These dermal filler injections are great for younger patients whose features are still contoured but have dulled over time. Older patients who are not seeking to plump their cheeks but want to improve cheek skin smoothness and rejuvenate glowing skin may also benefit from SKINVIVE in Houston, TX.

The benefits of SKINVIVE treatment include:

  • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
  • Restores hydration
  • Improve skin smoothness
  • Improve skin texture
  • Long-lasting results with no downtime

The only people who aren’t good candidates for SKINVIVE by Juvéderm are those who have had previous allergic reactions to the formula or the ingredients.

How SKINVIVE Works

SKINVIVE is an innovative hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable that is shot intermittently throughout the cheeks. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps the skin retain water and maintain skin hydration. Hydrated skin has a youthful, plumped appearance and a more radiant skin tone, which combats the effects of skin aging and minimizes the appearance of rough skin texture.

Our providers at DermaTouch utilize the microdroplet technique with this dermal filler injection, spacing out minuscule drops equally throughout the treatment area. These small injections all across the face ensure the even distribution of the injectable and allow for lines to be smoothed out without extra volume being created. Hyaluronic acid also promotes collagen production, leading to healthy, glowing skin.

Candidates for SKINVIVE

Patients for SKINVIVE must be at least 21 years old and in good health. Beyond that, anyone can be a good candidate for SKINVIVE treatments if they are looking to reduce dullness and increase skin quality. Before your treatment, notify your doctor of any allergens, medical conditions, or other concerns that may result in negative reactions. Patients interested in beginning SKINVIVE and improving skin smoothness should seek the approval of the medical professionals at DermaTouch, RN.

SKINVIVE Results and Recovery

Patients of SKINVIVE will begin to notice the results immediately after treatment. However, these results may be hidden by mild redness and swelling. These side effects will fade shortly after they appear and should not be cause for alarm. As the results settle, your appearance will continually improve, and repeat appointments are encouraged for the maintenance of results as well as their improvement. Results can last for up to six months with optimal treatment, though longevity will vary minorly from patient to patient.

There is no real downtime with SKINVIVE, so patients can return to their routine schedule immediately. However, the treatment area is healing, so we encourage you to avoid rigorous exercise for the first 24 hours following the injections. On top of this, you should avoid touching the treated area or applying any products to the area for a few days.
