SkinVive by Juvederm

scroll

Over time, the skin on your cheeks can lose hydration and begin to look dull, rough, or tired, even with a consistent skincare routine. SkinVive by Juvederm is an FDA-approved microdroplet injectable that improves skin smoothness and gives your cheeks a lasting, healthy glow without changing the shape of your face. Discover more about SkinVive, available at Nowak Aesthetics.

What is SkinVive?

SkinVive is a hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable from the makers of Juvederm. It is the first treatment of its kind approved by the FDA to improve skin smoothness of the cheeks. Unlike a traditional filler, SkinVive does not add volume or alter your facial contours. Instead, tiny droplets of hyaluronic acid work within the skin to boost hydration, which improves smoothness and creates a refreshed, glowing appearance.

Benefits of SkinVive

  • Improves cheek skin smoothness
  • Boosts skin hydration for a lasting glow
  • Natural-looking results with no added volume
  • Quick treatment with little to no downtime
  • Results that last up to six months
  • FDA-approved treatment

Candidates for SkinVive

SkinVive is a good option for adults who want smoother, more hydrated, healthier-looking cheek skin. It is especially popular with patients who feel their skin looks dull or tired but are not looking to add volume. SkinVive works well on its own and also pairs nicely with other treatments such as Botox, dermal fillers, and facials. The best way to find out if SkinVive is right for you is to schedule a consultation with our knowledgeable team at Nowak Aesthetics.

SkinVive Procedure

Your treatment begins with a consultation to review your goals and confirm SkinVive is the right fit. On the day of your appointment, we cleanse the treatment area and can apply a topical numbing cream for comfort. Your injector then places a series of small microdroplet injections across the cheeks. SkinVive also contains a small amount of lidocaine, which helps keep the treatment comfortable. Most appointments take less than 30 minutes.

SkinVive Recovery

Most patients return to their normal routine the same day. You may notice temporary redness, small bumps, swelling, or light bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, makeup on the treated area, and extended sun or heat exposure for the first 24 hours.

SkinVive Results

Your skin’s hydration and glow improve gradually as the hyaluronic acid settles in, with results typically visible within the first month. Results last up to six months, and maintenance treatments can keep your glow going year-round. You can view real patient results in our before and after gallery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SkinVive made of?

SkinVive is made of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in your skin and helps it retain moisture. It also contains a small amount of lidocaine to improve comfort during treatment.

Does SkinVive add volume like a filler?

No. SkinVive uses much smaller droplets of hyaluronic acid than a traditional filler, and it is placed differently in the skin. It improves hydration and smoothness rather than adding volume or changing your facial shape.

How long does SkinVive last?

Results last up to six months with optimal treatment. Many patients schedule maintenance treatments twice a year to keep their results.

Does SkinVive hurt?

Most patients tolerate SkinVive very well. The injections are small and shallow, the product contains lidocaine, and we can apply a topical numbing cream before treatment for added comfort.

How soon will I see results?

Some patients notice a difference within days, and results continue to improve over the first month as skin hydration builds.

Can I combine SkinVive with Botox or fillers?

Yes. SkinVive complements treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, and facials. Your provider will help you build a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.

How is SkinVive different from a facial?

A facial works on the surface of the skin, while SkinVive delivers hydration directly into the skin, where it lasts for months. Many patients enjoy both as part of their skincare routine.

Is SkinVive safe?

Yes. SkinVive is FDA-approved, and at Nowak Aesthetics your treatment is performed by a highly trained injector under the direction of board-certified dermatologist Dr. Eugene Nowak.
