Experience the Future of Skin Hydration
EXPERT SOLUTIONS FOR NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL, YOUTHFUL SKIN
A refreshed and rejuvenated facial appearance is within reach thanks to cutting-edge solutions like SKINVIVE™ by Juvederm. This revolutionary injectable gel boosts hydration from the inside out to enhance the skin smoothness of your cheeks. Available at Sistine Facial Plastic Surgery in Morgantown, it’s designed specifically for adults over the age of 21 who want to enhance the health and beauty of their skin naturally.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND SKINVIVE™
SKINVIVE™ is the first injectable of its kind: an intradermal hyaluronic acid microdroplet that improves skin texture and provides a radiant glow without altering your face's natural shape or volume.
At the core of SKINVIVE™ lies its unique, modified hyaluronic acid. As a naturally occurring substance in the body, hyaluronic acid plays a critical role in keeping your skin supple and hydrated. The proprietary version used in SKINVIVE™ works by:
- Hydrating your skin from within, ensuring a smooth texture and a healthy glow
- Providing long-lasting results due to its slow absorption rate
- Minimally invasive, allowing for less downtime and a faster recovery
SKINVIVE™ BENEFITS
- Safety: Since hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the body, the risk of allergic reactions or complications is significantly reduced.
- Quick procedure: SKINVIVE™ treatment sessions can be performed quickly, allowing you to fit them into your busy schedule.
- Minimal downtime: Recovery time is usually minimal, allowing you to quickly return to your daily routine.
- Lasting results: The modified hyaluronic acid's slow absorption rate grants longer-lasting results than traditional treatments.
- Natural appearance: SKINVIVE™ enhances your skin without changing your face's shape or volume, ensuring a natural, youthful look.
- Complementary Procedure: While powerful on its own, SKINVIVE™ is an incredible addition to other treatments, such as BOTOX.
AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR SKINVIVE™?
To help you better understand your candidacy for this treatment, consider the following factors:
- Age: SKINVIVE™ by Juvederm is suitable for adults over 21. However, it is typically more effective for those beginning to experience the early signs of aging.
- Skin Type: This treatment is compatible with all skin types, but specific skin issues may impact the procedure's effectiveness.
- Expectations: It's essential to have realistic expectations about the outcome of the treatment. While SKINVIVE™ by Juvederm can effectively rejuvenate your skin's appearance, it may not eliminate every imperfection or achieve a completely wrinkle-free result.
Some additional candidacy factors to consider include the following:
- Existing skin conditions, such as allergies or infections that may interfere with treatment
- History of skin disorders or inflammatory diseases
- Any previous cosmetic treatments or procedures you have undergone
- Your general medical history to determine if there are contraindications for treatment
During your consultation with Sistine’s specialists, we will evaluate your skin concerns, medical history, and aesthetic goals to ensure SKINVIVE™ is the right choice.
SKINVIVE™: BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER
Consultation and Customization
At your initial consultation, our team of experts will evaluate your skin and discuss your desired results. By understanding your unique needs, we create a customized treatment plan for you. During this consultation, we'll also discuss any concerns or questions you may have to ensure you are confident in your decision to choose SKINVIVE™ by Juvederm.
During Your Session
The SKINVIVE™ treatment process involves the following steps:
- Preparation: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup or impurities.
- Injection: We strategically inject the gel into the target areas using a fine needle or cannula. You may feel a slight pinch or pressure as the needle is inserted.
- Massaging: After the injection, your practitioner gently massages the treated areas to help distribute the filler evenly and achieve a natural look.
- Final Touches: A cold compress may be applied to reduce any swelling or discomfort. The treated area will be re-evaluated to ensure the desired results have been achieved.
Depending on the treated areas, this is typically completed within fifteen minutes.
Post-Treatment Care
It is normal to experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, but these side effects typically subside within a few days. Most patients return to their daily activities within 24 hours of the procedure, and the full results can be seen within two weeks.
Following your SKINVIVE™ session, you'll be given detailed instructions on how to care for your skin. Some of these recommendations may include:
- Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer for at least 24 hours after treatment
- Avoid direct sunlight or tanning for the first few days
- Refrain from strenuous exercise or activities that could cause excessive heat or sweat
- Sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling
