The Skinny on Skinvive: Everything You Need to Know
Get to know Skinvive — the new go-to treatment for glowing skin!
Hydration’s the real secret to radiant skin, and this new treatment boosts your complexion from within — Skinvive is now available at all Skin Pharm clinics! Read on to learn all about this skin-boosting injectable.
What is Skinvive?
Skinvive is a modified hyaluronic acid skin booster. It’s injected as microdroplets along the cheeks to improve hydration, smooth skin and create a lasting glow. When you hear hyaluronic acid, you might think filler — but unlike other dermal fillers, the goal of Skinvive isn’t volume or contour. Instead, Skinvive stimulates hydration and collagen within the skin. The shape of your face won’t change, but your skin will quite literally glow!
What are the benefits of Skinvive?
We all love hyaluronic acid for its ability to attract and retain moisture. (Lookin’ at you, Youth Serum!) Skinvive goes a step further than topical hyaluronic acid to enhance the skin’s natural hydrating abilities from within. The way we inject Skinvive also stimulates collagen production. As with microneedling or a Gold Infusion, we’re creating clean, controlled injury to the skin, just without a device. When hydration and collagen production improve, you experience other benefits as a result! Skinvive smooths fine lines, softens skin texture and leaves you with a refreshed, radiant complexion.
How long will it take to see results?
You’ll notice visibly more hydrated skin within about four weeks, and enjoy a smooth, glowing complexion for up to six months!
Who’s a good candidate for Skinvive?
Just about anyone! Skinvive is ideal for all skin types and those wanting the glass skin look. We’ve seen particularly great results using Skinvive to treat fine lines, lax skin and collagen loss in patients with aging skin.
Is there anyone who shouldn’t get Skinvive?
We don’t perform Skinvive on anyone who’s pregnant or breastfeeding. And if you’re experiencing active breakouts, rashes or other inflammatory conditions, we’ll need to wait ’til things clear up!
What’s the downtime like?
Skinvive only requires minimal downtime. You can resume your daily activities immediately after treatment, but wait 24 hours before exercising or wearing makeup.
Can I stack Skinvive with another treatment?
Yes! Skinvive stacks well with a handful of other treatments. We love pairing it with microneedling, a Gold Infusion, Botox/Dysport, filler and Sculptra, too!
