Rating: 4.6 (22 reviews)

SkinVive is a new innovation from Juvederm, joining the family of popular hyaluronic-acid-based fillers such as Voluma, Volbella, and Vollure. Instead of primarily correcting volume loss, however, SkinVive focuses on total skin hydration, delivering a youthful, radiant glow that is the epitome of health and well-being.

SkinLove Medspa – Dedicated to cutting-edge skincare

Helmed by two double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons, Dr. Elbert and Dr. Jacqueline Cheng, SkinLove Medspa is a leading sanctuary for aesthetic innovation. Our team is dedicated to staying ahead of the curve when it comes to breakthroughs in cosmetic science. We are proud to offer SkinVive as one of our newest and most exciting injectables that can help make your dream of a luminous, supple complexion a reality.

What is SkinVive?

Rather than altering your facial shape as many fillers can, Juvederm’s SkinVive is concerned with changing the appearance of your skin. It capitalizes on hyaluronic acid’s ability to enhance moisture, hydrating the complexion to erase wrinkles and textural irregularities. With no anesthesia, incisions, scarring, or downtime, SkinVive is making an enormous splash in the aesthetic industry. Achieving a more attractive, dewy glow has never been so effortless!

Cheeks – SkinVive can restore hydration for a silkier, softer complexion and a more youthful appearance overall.

Chin – SkinVive can help establish soft, rounded contours that telegraph vitality.
Lips – SkinVive can reduce fine lips around the lips, maximizing the beauty of your smile.
Nasolabial folds and marionette lines – SkinVive smooths nasolabial folds and marionette lines so you look more rested and rejuvenated.

The best way to tell if SkinVive is right for you is to schedule a private consultation with our team of aesthetic experts. Our providers have assisted numerous patients to achieve their vision for a more beautiful, youthful appearance using SkinVive.

What happens during my treatment?

During your SkinVive session, your practitioner will inject the HA-based skin revitalizer into precise, previously determined points on the face. SkinVive is formulated with lidocaine, a topical anesthetic, enhancing patients’ comfort and peace of mind. The treatment takes just minutes to perform. Patients can come into the office over their lunch breaks and get right back to work or school after treatment.

What is the Recovery after Skinvive?

SkinVive is a non-surgical injectable just like Juvederm Volbella or Restylane. Therefore, recovery time tends to be brief and uneventful. In general, patients can immediately resume their normal schedules with minimal interruption. Minor swelling, bruising, or tenderness may arise at the injection sites. These symptoms fade quickly, however – usually within 24-48 hours.

Are there any risks?

By choosing a reputable practice such as Skin Love Medspa, where all procedures are directed by double-board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons, patients can avoid many potential risks and complications. Patients should be aware that SkinVive may come with minor side effects, such as bruising, swelling, and soreness at the injection sites. Our team will set aside time during your private consultation to discuss these risks in greater depth so you can move forward confidently with your treatment.
