Dewy, fresh-looking skin looks good on anyone, but even the best skincare routine can result in less-than-perfect skin days. SKINVIVE™ by Juvederm® stimulates collagen production, increases elasticity and deeply hydrates your skin for a natural radiance that only comes from within. This injectable treatment has been developed by the scientists who brought you Juvederm® fillers but stands on its own as a unique way to improve your skin.
What is SKINVIVE™ by Juvederm®?
When you see “Juvederm®,” you most likely think of dermal fillers, which add facial volume. SKINVIVE™ does not add volume like its relatives. Instead, it improves skin quality and texture and adds hydration. It was designed for individuals who want to achieve improvements in their skin’s smoothness and create a healthy, refreshed appearance.
If you shop for skincare products, you will find hyaluronic acid in a range of moisturizers and treatments. This compound attracts and binds moisture in the skin, leaving it looking plump, smooth, and radiant. SKINVIVE™ by Juvederm® is the first FDA-approved way to inject micro-droplets of long lasting hyaluronic acid into your skin to deliver hydration where it matters most.
How is SKINVIVE™ by Juvederm® Different From Fillers?
The primary use for most dermal fillers is to add volume. This property allows them to plump your lips, smooth wrinkles, and restore lost volume in areas like the cheeks. SKINVIVE™ by Juvederm®, on the other hand, is made for those who do not need additional volume but do want the smoothness and glow of hyaluronic acid. While SKINVIVE™ and Juvederm® fillers both use hyaluronic acid, only SKINVIVE™ uses tiny micro-droplets that distribute evenly in the skin.
How Long Does SKINVIVE™ by Juvederm® Last?
SKINVIVE™ effects become fully visible within days. Unlike the temporary glow you can get from an at-home facial treatment, your SKINVIVE™ radiance will last at least six months. Most people report that their results still look fresh and hydrated after this time, so touch-ups twice a year will maintain your results as long as you want.
Is There Any Downtime After SKINVIVE™ by Juvederm®?
Your SKINVIVE™ by Juvederm® injections take a bit longer than dermal fillers would, usually about take place over a half hour appointment. You can return to work immediately after treatment, although temporary redness, swelling, and bruising are not uncommon. Hyaluronic acid is one of the most widely used injectable cosmetic treatments, with a proven safety record, FDA approval and low incident of adverse reactions.
Am I a Good Candidate for SKINVIVE™ by Juvederm®?
Determining whether you are a candidate for SKINVIVE™ by Juvederm® means determining whether it will provide the results you want. Ideal candidates have normal facial fullness and no concerns about volume but want to achieve a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Candidates should be in overall good health and have reasonable expectations. Patients with history of extreme allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) generally should not have Skinvive or other hyaluronic acid fillers.
