Achieving great skin is never a one and done process. In all reality, it’s just like maintaining any other important body part – from our bi-annual dental cleanings to our visits with the eye doc, and everything in between. After all, our skin is our largest organ of all, so it certainly deserves a dedicated, routine treatment plan with the proper guidance from a professional. Straight from our practitioners list of skincare favorites, we’re have one skin treatment we can’t wait to share more on (spoiler alert: it’s from one of our most trusted lines, and we think you’ll love it!)
What is it? If you haven’t heard of SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® – consider this your formal introduction! SKINVIVE is the first and only hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable designed to improve cheek skin smoothness. We’re sure at this point (no matter where you are in your skincare journey) that you’ve heard of hyaluronic acid – a natural substance (and water-attracting molecule) found in your skin that naturally decreases with age and sun exposure. This superstar acid is responsible for moisture retention within the skin, allowing for stretch and flex (reducing fine lines and wrinkles) as well as rapid wound healing, inflammation control and protection from free radicals. In layman’s terms, we want as much hyaluronic acid within our skin as possible, at all times.
How does it work? The makers of SKINVIVE have harnessed a modified version of hyaluronic acid that acts as an internal moisturizer to (you guessed it!) boost skin moisture and give you a beautiful hydrated, healthy glow that goes beyond the surface. SKINVIVE is a non-surgical, minimally invasive injectable that comes in gel form, and is administered as microdroplets into the cheek area, just below the skin’s outer layer. Immediately post injection, you’ll notice improved skin hydration and smoothness, increasing over the following 24 to 48 hours, with full results visible at about 4 weeks post treatment. After treatment, you can resume your normal activities without any extended downtime (you can even sneak in on your lunchbreak!) If we haven’t convinced you yet, patients who have been treated with SKINVIVE in clinical studies have reported high satisfaction with the glowing, hydrated, refreshed and healthy look they achieved post treatment.
While SKINVIVE is most often used for the cheek area, our practitioners at Skin Iowa have loved the results they’ve seen on the neck, hands and lips as well as the diminishing of brown spots in some patients as well!
