SKINVIVE IN CLEVELAND, OHIO

WHAT IS SKINVIVE?

Skinvive is often referred to as a "skin booster" because it is designed to hydrate your skin and give you a glowy look that lasts around six months. Skinvive is a hyaluronic acid that changes the appearance of your skin, rather than the shape of your face. 

Skinvive is meant to leverage the moisture-attracting qualities of the hyaluronic acid molecule to increase hydration in the skin and improve texture. Instead of injecting the solution into the dermis to fill in volume loss, our nurse practitioners will place droplet injections of Skinvive superficially (just on the outer layer of your skin, or your epidermis). Once it is deposited into the skin, it diffuses into an even layer, Skinvive will not add volume, thus will not change your facial shape.

When Skinvive is injected into the treatment area, it also stimulates collagen production, which improves elasticity and reduces the appearance of fine lines. Skinvive also helps with hydration.  Hydrated skin improves other skin issues such as a lack of elasticity and dullness. 

IS THERE DOWNTIME?

There is little to no downtime for Skinvive treatments. It is recommended to avoid heavy exercise, makeup, and sun exposure for the first 24 hours.

WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR SKINVIVE?

Skinvive is approved for all Fitzpatrick skin types so anyone looking for a boost can benefit. Patients looking to improve fine lines, dullness or all over skin smoothness to improve skin quality are good candidates.
