What is SKINVIVE™?
SKINVIVE™ is an injectable gel designed to smooth and hydrate the skin of the cheeks. Unlike traditional fillers that primarily focus on replacing lost volume in treatment areas, SKINVIVE™ stands out by hydrating the skin from within, giving you naturally radiant, youthful, and supple skin.
SKINVIVE™ is delivered as microdroplets into the skin’s dermis, making it suitable for all skin shades. This hydration treatment reduces the appearance of fine lines and pores, leaving you with a youthful glow, without adding volume. Rather, it stimulates the production of collagen to assist with subtle volume.
The Science Behind SKINVIVE™
The magic ingredient in SKINVIVE™ is hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the body and is known for its ability to attract and retain water. When injected into the dermis, hyaluronic acid molecules draw moisture to the skin, enhancing its hydration and smoothness. Additionally, SKINVIVE™ contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, which ensures a more comfortable procedure by numbing the treatment area.
Here’s how SKINVIVE™ works:
- Microdroplet Injection: SKINVIVE™ is administered intradermally as tiny droplets using a fine needle. Each injection is delivered in volumes ranging from 0.001ml to 0.005ml, spaced 0.5cm to 1cm apart.
- Hydration from Within: The microdroplets release aquaporins, which regulate water influx and efflux in skin cells, promoting optimal hydration.
- Collagen Production: SKINVIVE™ stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles.
Benefits of SKINVIVE™
SKINVIVE™ offers a range of benefits that make it a top choice among dermatologists and plastic surgeons:
- No Downtime: This straightforward procedure is done with local anesthesia, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately. We recommend a 24-hour rest period before returning to regular skincare routines.
- Vibrant, Youthful Skin: By hydrating the skin of the cheeks, SKINVIVE™ makes your skin look vibrant, youthful, and supple.
- Increased Skin Elasticity: The collagen-stimulating properties of SKINVIVE™ enhance skin elasticity, making it more resilient.
- Suitable for All Skin Types: SKINVIVE™ works well with all shades of skin color, ensuring inclusivity in skincare.
- Minimally Invasive: SKINVIVE™ is a brief procedure (15-45 minutes) administered through a tiny needly.
- Durable Results: Enjoy the benefits of a single SKINVIVE™ procedure for up to 6 to 12 months.
- Minimal Side Effects: With hyaluronic acid as a natural ingredient, serious side effects are rare.
