Skinvive by Juvéderm

Skinvive by Juvéderm is an injectable treatment that can give your skin a well-rested and hydrated look. 

Skincare is not just about maintaining a youthful appearance, but also about feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin. As we age, our skin loses its youthful luster and brightness. This can make us look tired, worn out, and older than we feel. This is partially due to the loss of hyaluronic acid production in the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that aids in repairing tissue and maintaining moisturization. ⁽¹⁾ The key ingredient in Skinvive is hyaluronic acid, helping patients maintain hydration and volume in their skin for a dewy, more vibrant appearance. 

If you are looking for a non-surgical solution to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance, Skinvive by Juvederm may be the perfect choice for you. Dr. Gregory Fedele offers Skinvive by Juvéderm to patients in Cleveland and the surrounding areas. For more information, call (216) 464-1616 or contact us online. 

About Skinvive by Juvéderm

Following its huge success in the UK, Skinvive by Juvéderm was recently approved by the FDA for use in the United States. It involves the injection of a scientifically modified form of hyaluronic acid directly into the outermost layers of the skin. From there, the formula spreads out across the surface of the skin. The hyaluronic acid works to strengthen skin proteins, as well as attract water closer to the surface. ⁽²⁾ 

While most injectables serve to add volume to the face by injecting substances below the skin, Skinvive by Juvéderm works directly on the visible skin to improve its health and moisture level. This makes for a more natural smoothing effect than simply adding volume to stretch the skin. Instead of changing the shape of the face in order to alter the skin, this treatment improves the skin itself. This preserves your unique appearance while simultaneously enhancing it. 

Benefits of Skinvive by Juvéderm

Skinvive by Juvéderm provides numerous benefits. It is suitable for all skin types, adding a radiant glow to any shade. The transformative effects of hyaluronic acid kickstart a natural process of fortification and moisturization. This can bring your skin back to a state of youthful smoothness and softness. Because this treatment encourages a natural process in the skin, the moisturization that it provides remains consistent even without a regular skincare routine. With newfound confidence in your appearance, you will be proud to show off the glowing skin that Skinvive by Juvéderm can bring you. 

Who is a Candidate for Skinvive by Juvéderm?

A good candidate for Skinvive by Juvéderm will want to look and feel younger with glowing and dewy skin. If you can relate, this treatment could work for you.

Skinvive by Juvéderm is safe and effective for all skin types (Fitzpatrick types I-VI). In order for this treatment to work, your skin needs to be in relatively good health. If you have any serious skin conditions, infections, or rashes, it could lead to further complications. We can assess your eligibility at your personal consultation.

Preparation

There are very few preparatory steps for Skinvive by Juvéderm treatment. Your instructions may include a change in your medicine intake. For example, you should avoid blood-thinning substances like anti-inflammatory medicine and herbal supplements. Additionally, you should make sure to avoid excessive exposure to sunlight. Burnt or irritated skin could cause complications or worsen the side effects of your treatment. 

Skinvive by Juvéderm Procedure

Skinvive by Juvéderm treatments are straightforward and short. No topical numbing is required because the formulation contains lidocaine, a numbing agent. Dr. Fedele will begin by injecting the hyaluronic acid formula into your cheeks through multiple injections. He will meticulously place the shallow injections around your face to evenly spread the solution. This will ensure that your skin’s improved texture and moisture appear uniform and beautiful. Skinvive by Juvéderm procedures typically take ten to fifteen minutes to complete. 

Recovery

Because Skinvive by Juvéderm is minimally invasive and nonsurgical, the recovery period is relatively simple. You can resume everyday activities immediately. For the first day after your procedure, avoid strenuous exercise, heavy makeup, and excessive sun exposure. You may experience some redness, swelling, and bruising near your injection sites. Applying ice packs to your face will help alleviate these symptoms. Your side effects should subside within a few days. 

Results

Skinvive by Juvéderm naturally rejuvenates and moisturizes your skin, so it may take a few weeks for the results to show. This treatment improves the quality of the skin, so your aesthetic transformation will be subtle. Your skin will gradually become more dewy and radiant. The results of Skinvive by Juvéderm are designed to last and improve for around six months. You can continue to receive additional treatments to maintain them. Additionally, a gentle skincare routine will help to keep your skin healthy.

Corresponding & Complementary Procedures 

Dr. Fedele offers additional treatments that can work alongside and complement the results of your Skinvive by Juvéderm treatment. 

Botox

Botox is a popular and effective way to smooth out the wrinkles in the upper face and achieve a more youthful look. It is a minimally invasive procedure in which a provider injects the Botox formula directly into the target treatment area. The formula serves to relax the muscles in the face that can cause fine lines and wrinkles. Together with Skinvive by Juvéderm, Botox can help take even more years off your face. 

Facial Fat Transfer

Facial fat transfer is a cosmetic treatment that can add contour and fullness to your face. It involves a provider removing excess fat cells from a separate area of the body, like the back or the abdomen. They purify and prepare the fat cells for repurposing and inject them into the face. The natural look and feel of fat cell volume can add contour and definition to your cheeks. Along with the skin-revivifying results of your Skinvive by Juvéderm treatment, a facial fat transfer could take your appearance to the next level.
