Smooth, radiant cheeks have always been a sign of health and vibrance. However, topical products can only do so much to help you achieve that glow. SkinVive™ is a unique injectable treatment that boosts your skin from within for lasting results.
What is SkinVive™ by Juvederm®?
SkinVive™ is manufactured by the same brand that makes Juvederm®, one of the most widely used types of dermal filler. However, SkinVive™ is not a dermal filler. Like its filler relatives, it uses hydrating hyaluronic acid. However, its microdroplets mesh with your skin to provide a radiance and smoothness impossible to achieve with skincare products.
How Much Does SkinVive™ by Juvederm® Cost?
The cost of any injectable treatment will vary depending on many factors. The cost of SkinVive™ is affected by your injector’s skill and training as well as your location and treatment goals. In general, you can expect SkinVive™ costs to fall between $650 to $750. Results last about six months.
At Capital Laser & Skin Care, our injectors’ expertise and superior results make the cost of this treatment well worth it. An injector who takes the time to assess your unique features and sculpt the look you want is worth more than a slightly lower product cost.
How is SkinVive™ Different from Dermal Fillers?
Although SkinVive™ is a relative of Juvederm® fillers, it would be more accurate to call it a distant cousin. The formulas of all Juvederm® fillers are cohesive gels with cross-linked hyaluronic acid. As a result, they stay in place and add volume when injected.
Unlike dermal fillers, SkinVive™ spreads out through the skin of your cheeks, where it attracts moisture and holds it in the skin. This added moisture gives your skin a plump, hydrated look and skin that seems to glow with health. However, it does not add any volume, so it will not change the contours or shape of your cheeks in any way.
Is There Any Downtime After SkinVive™ Treatment?
Your SkinVive™ injectable treatment can take less than half an hour, and most people return to their daily routine immediately with no noticeable effects. Some people notice spots of redness or minor swelling for a day or two after treatment. With little to no downtime, SkinVive™ excels at treating people with busy schedules.
Am I a Good Candidate for SkinVive™?
One important question in whether SkinVive™ is right for you is a discussion of your goals. Those bothered by hollowness or loss of volume in the cheeks are better candidates for dermal fillers. However, you might be an ideal candidate for SkinVive™ if you are a younger adult who does not want to add volume but wants a soft, hydrated glow.
