SKINVIVE™

SKINVIVE™ Treatments in West Palm Beach, Florida

Imagine if you could infuse your dry skin with eight hours of refreshing sleep, even if you didn’t sleep much at all. It’s now possible with SKINVIVE™ by JUVEDERM® – the groundbreaking hyaluronic acid filler that enhances skin quality.

SKINVIVE™ is the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable in the U.S. to improve cheek smoothness by increasing hydration equivalent to three liters of water. This innovative dermal filler can promote skin smoothness and provide a lasting glow for up to six months with multiple treatments.

Although it’s a dermal filler, many people regard SKINVIVE™ as a skin booster since its purpose is to hydrate your skin, rather than increase volume. In a clinical study, patients reported satisfaction with how glowing, hydrated, refreshed, and healthier their skin looked.

What Benefits Does SKINVIVE™ by JUVEDERM® Offer?

Although dermal fillers contour the face and restore volume, they have no effect on facial skin quality. SKINVIVE™ by JUVEDERM® is a “skin booster” that focuses on skin smoothness via hydration without adding fullness. SKINVIVE™ also offers the following benefits:

• Increases skin elasticity
• Reduces wrinkles and fine lines to create the appearance of skin smoothness
• Improves skin quality
• Plumps and hydrates skin instantly
• Provides noticeable results after one treatment

Is SKINVIVE™ an Optimal Treatment for All Skin Tones?

Because SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM is an injectable gel designed to improve facial skin smoothness and hydration via intradermal droplets, it’s approved for Fitzpatrick skin types ranging from I to VI. The Fitzpatrick scale is a classification system used to categorize different skin tones and their reactions to UV light. Improved skin hydration benefits individuals with various skin tones and skin types, as it helps to improve skin smoothness.

What Can I Expect from a SKINVIVE™ Skin Quality Treatment?

As a properly licensed practitioner, Dr. Fredric M. Barr, M.D., F.A.C.S., Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery’s Board-certified plastic surgeon, prioritizes patient safety. Drawing upon his thorough understanding of the human body, Dr. Barr requires a consultation with our patient counselor before your SKINVIVE™ treatment to discuss your medical history and your body’s immune response, including whether you have had previous allergic reactions to previous cosmetic treatments or have multiple severe allergies. We’ll also discuss your individual goals for this hyaluronic acid filler and develop an optimal treatment plan for you.

A single SKINVIVE™ hyaluronic acid treatment generally takes 10 to 15 minutes at our West Palm Beach office.

Will I Experience Pain During My SKINVIVE™ Treatment?

SKINVIVE™ is a minimally invasive treatment that involves injecting gel microdroplets into the skin. Before the procedure, we apply a lidocaine-based topical anesthetic to the injection sites to numb the skin surface and minimize potential discomfort or pain associated with the injections.

Does SKINVIVE™ Have Side Effects?

As with most dermal fillers and skin injection procedures, the side effects of SKINVIVE™ tend to be mild, and may include one or more of the following:

• Temporary redness
• Swelling
• Bruising
• Tenderness
• Firmness at or around the injection site

However, these temporary side effects generally resolve within seven days of the treatment. Patients treated with SKINVIVE™ rarely experience adverse events such as an allergic reaction.

How Many SKINVIVE™ Treatments Do I Need?

How many SKINVIVE™hyaluronic acid treatments it takes to achieve cheek skin smoothness depends on each patient’s unique needs and goals. Our patient counselor will recommend the right amount of treatments for proper skin hydration and noticeable skin smoothness during your consultation.

How Soon Will I See Results from My SKINVIVE™ Treatment?

You should notice a difference in skin quality and some plumping immediately following this dermal filler injection. Keep in mind that SKINVIVE™ is a skin quality treatment, so the results tend to be subtler than volumizing hyaluronic acid fillers. You’ll notice improved skin smoothness and hydration, with results lasting up to six months.

Is There Downtime with SKINVIVE™?

SKINVIVE™ by JUVEDERM® requires little to no downtime, making it an optimal treatment for busy people. In clinical studies, patients treated with SKINVIVE™ resumed their daily activities right after the procedure. As with other dermal filler injections like BOTOX®, we instruct patients to avoid strenuous exercise, makeup, and extensive sun exposure for 24 hours post-treatment.

Can I Combine SKINVIVE™ with Other Facial Injectables or a Laser Treatment?

Patients treated with SKINVIVE™ often ask if they can combine it with other dermal fillers like BOTOX®, Dysport®, Restylane®, and JUVÉDERM® or a laser treatments like Erbium or Halo™, to address additional areas of concern like fine lines and wrinkles, loss of volume, and other signs of aging. We don’t recommend combining any laser treatments with any injectable treatments on the same day.

As a licensed physician knows, individuals have different skin types, needs, and goals. Discuss your desires with our patient counselor to determine whether combining facial injections is the best choice for you. As always, we want to achieve a natural, refreshed look while prioritizing your safety and well-being.
