In the ever-evolving world of aesthetic dermatology, SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM®emerges as a cutting-edge solution to the early signs of aging. Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, this innovative product represents a significant breakthrough in the field of dermal fillers. Unlike other treatments, SKINVIVE™is the only hyaluronic acid (HA) intradermal microdroplet injection in the U.S. that offers lasting results for more than six months from a single treatment. In this blog, Clarity Acne & Aesthetic Dermatology in Suffolk VA, will cover some of the FAQs about this treatment.
SKINVIVE™ operates through a sophisticated mechanism, leveraging hyaluronic acid to address various aesthetic concerns. When administered by a qualified healthcare professional, the injectable gel is carefully targeted to specific facial areas. This gel not only replenishes lost volume but also smooths creased skin, effectively diminishing fine lines, wrinkles, and folds. Its tailored formulation is suitable for all Fitzpatrick Skin Types, a feature not commonly found in current market products.
For those who are looking to improve their physical appearance without undergoing surgery, SKINVIVE™ offers a convenient solution. Our non-surgical treatment process is minimally invasive, allowing for a quick return to normal activities after the procedure. This means that there is minimal downtime or recovery time required, making it a practical option for individuals with busy schedules.
SKINVIVE™ is ideal for individuals experiencing facial volume loss, wrinkles, and fine lines, particularly in areas like the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes. It’s also effective in reducing the appearance of nasolabial folds and marionette lines. These are often referred to as “smile lines” and “puppet lines,” and can significantly impact the overall appearance of the face. If you’re seeking a non-surgical facial rejuvenation option, SKINVIVE™ might be the solution for you.
With SKINVIVE™, you can expect a refreshed and more youthful appearance. Our advanced treatments and techniques are designed to target and improve specific concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. However, it’s important to understand that results may vary from person to person.
Each individual has unique anatomy and skin characteristics, which can affect the outcome of the treatment. Additionally, the severity of the concern being addressed also plays a role in the final result. That is why it is crucial to have realistic expectations when undergoing SKINVIVE™ treatments.
Before undergoing any type of cosmetic injectable treatment, it is important to have a consultation with a trained medical esthetician or healthcare professional who specializes in these procedures. This consultation is crucial as it allows the provider to understand your specific concerns and desired outcomes and review your medical history. During this consultation, you will have the opportunity to ask any questions and address any concerns you may have about the treatment.
In preparation for the treatment, it is advised to avoid certain medications and supplements that can increase the risk of bleeding or bruising. This includes over-the-counter pain relievers such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen, as well as certain vitamins and herbs. It is important to disclose all medications and supplements you are currently taking to your provider during the consultation.
The treatment typically begins with a topical anesthetic or a numbing agent to ensure comfort for the patient. This is an important step to minimize any potential discomfort during the procedure. SKINVIVE™ is a product that also contains lidocaine, which is a common numbing agent used in medical procedures. This helps to reduce further any discomfort that may be experienced after the procedure is completed.
The duration of the treatment typically ranges from 15 to 30 minutes. However, this may vary depending on the specific areas being treated and the extent of correction desired by the patient. The length of the procedure will be determined by the healthcare professional performing the treatment, and they will advise the patient accordingly.
Overall, the treatment process is relatively quick and convenient, making it a popular option for those looking to improve the appearance of their skin. With the use of topical anesthetics and numbing agents, patients can feel more at ease and comfortable during the procedure. Consult with a healthcare professional to determine if this treatment is right for you and what results you can expect.
After the treatment, some temporary side effects like redness, swelling, tenderness, and bruising might occur. These are generally mild and resolve within a week. Your healthcare professional will provide aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results. The results of SKINVIVE™ are visible immediately post-treatment and last over six months with proper placement and aftercare.
