A Drink of Water for your Skin!
Skinvive® is the first and only hyaluronic acid (HA) microdroplet, non-volumizing injectable that smooths and hydrates the skin from within. This skin booster injection is FDA-approved to increase hydration and to improve overall skin quality and texture.
Hydrated skin is essential to healthy skin: As we age, our skin loses hyaluronic acid and overall smoothness. Hyaluronic acid hydrates the skin, improving its smoothness so the skin glows. Skinvive treatment helps the skin retain it’s natural moisture, improving the look of skin texture and fine lines and wrinkles.
Lasting GLOW!: This hyaluronic acid gel is injected as microdroplets just below the skin surface, increasing hydration and skin quality. This improves the look of fine line and wrinkles, leaving you with healthy, refreshed, hydrated, and glowing skin that lasts for up to 6 months after treatment!
Treatment only takes about 15 minutes: For comfort we topically numb the treatment area for about 30 minutes, but treatment only takes about 15 minutes and on average results last about 6 months. The treatment has little to no downtime and can easily be added on to other services.
Who is a good candidate for Skinvive?: EVERYONE! Skinvive is approved for use in all skin types. Whether you are looking to improve skin quality and texture, or are just looking for a long lasting healthy glow, Skinvive can work for you!

Appointment Planning:
Before getting Skinvive you will want to avoid taking medications such as aspirin, Ibuprofen, naproxen, fish oil, Ginko Biloba, and St. Johns Wart as these can increase the risk for bleeding and bruising at the treated site(s).

Let us know if you have a history of cold sores and are planning treatments in/around the lip area and we can provide a prophylactic antiviral. Let your provider know if you have had any dental cleanings or procedures 2 weeks before or upcoming after your appointment. Your provider will go through your medical history at your appointment.
There is little to no downtime for our aesthetic procedures, but you may have some bruising and swelling for several days to a week after treatment. Makeup will need to be removed for aesthetic treatments and in most cases will need to be avoided for 1-2 days after treatment. Please keep this in mind as you plan treatments prior to events or trips. Detailed post-procedure instructions will be provided after your service.
