SKINVIVE™ by JUVEDERM®
In a constantly evolving world of cosmetic products, here is a new treatment that is making waves — SkinVIVE by Juvederm. SkinVIVE is produced by AbbVie Company of Allergan Aesthetics- the same one that makes Botox and Juvederm. It is vital in improving the quality of the skin of the cheek.
SkinVIVE Juvederm is an injectable gel containing hyaluronic acid. It improves the texture of the skin in your cheeks by hydrating the skin. It has proven to produce positive results, with minimal side effects and complications.
What is SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM®?
Skindive is a novel, FDA approved, minimally invasive hyaluronic acid dermal moisturizer. When injected into the dermis under the cheeks, it smoothes and hydrates the skin of the cheeks. It differs from all other fillers. Other fillers replace lost volume in the treatment areas. SkinVIVE injection hydrates the skin around the treated area, resulting in plump, healthier, and glowing skin.
SkinVIVE, also called Volite in Europe, is delivered as a microdroplet into the skin’s dermis. It works well with all shades of skin color. It hydrates the skin from within, reducing the appearance of fine lines and pores on the skin of the cheeks. You look younger and your skin gets healthier and more supple.
SkinVIVE contains hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body. Hyaluronic acid contains molecules that attract and retain water. SkinVIVE contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, that makes the procedure more comfortable. It numbs the treatment area and makes injecting SkinVIVE under the skin easier.
How Does SkinVIVE™ Work?
Hydration is vital in improving how your skin looks. Properly hydrated skin looks smooth, youthful, and radiant.
SkinVIVE is a hyaluronic acid-based gel that is injected under the skin. The treatment area is carefully selected by the expert for optimal results.
SkinVIVE is delivered intradermally as a microdroplet into the skin of the cheeks using a needle and syringe. It is delivered in volumes of 0.001mls to 0.005mls and the space between two injection sites is 0.5cm-1cm apart. The droplets hydrate and smoothen the skin.
It increases the release of Aquaporins that increase the influx and efflux of water from the skin’s cells. This fosters proper hydration of the skin around your cheeks.
SkinVIVE also increases the production of collagen. Collagen then increases skin elasticity. This results in reduced facial lines and wrinkles.
What are the Results of SKINVIVE™?
SSkinVIVE is the only FDA-approved filler that functions to hydrate and smoothen the skin of the cheeks. It comes highly recommended among dermatologists and plastic surgeons. This is because of its unique results, minimal complication, and little downtime.
A study conducted on some patients 6 months after they used SkinVIVE showed positive results. 63% of patients said they had radiant skin after the procedure, 72% were impressed with how hydrated their skin was after the procedure, and 83% were satisfied with how healthy their skin looked.
