SKINVIVE for Skin That is Glowing, Hydrated, Smoother, and Healthier Looking
SKINVIVE™ is suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types, making it a versatile and inclusive option for those seeking aesthetic treatments. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that focus on augmenting volume in specific areas, SKINVIVE™ concentrates on enhancing skin radiance, hydration, and smoothness. This cutting-edge treatment works by improving skin quality biological markers, resulting in a natural-looking, youthful glow that will leave you feeling confident and rejuvenated.
So, how does SKINVIVE™ achieve these remarkable results? The secret lies in its unique formula. SKINVIVE™ is a hyaluronic acid-based injectable gel that stimulates the production of aquaporin 3, a protein that facilitates the transport of water and glycerol into and out of cells. This leads to increased skin hydration, improved skin smoothness, and a reduction in the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.
What is SKINVIVE™?
SKINVIVE™ is an injectable gel that delivers targeted skin enhancement through intradermal microdroplet injections. Its hyaluronic acid base is a naturally occurring substance in the body that aids in keeping skin hydrated and plump. This unique formulation makes it less likely to trigger the body’s immune response compared to other injectable treatments.
One of the most significant advantages of SKINVIVE™ over traditional dermal fillers is its focus on improving skin quality rather than adding volume. Using microdroplet injections, SKINVIVE targets specific areas of the skin, resulting in more precise and effective outcomes. This targeted approach ensures that patients achieve optimal results without the need for invasive procedures or lengthy recovery times.

The Science Behind SKINVIVE™
In order to grasp the transformative power of SKINVIVE™, comprehending the science that drives this extraordinary treatment is key. SKINVIVE™ is formulated with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that plays a crucial role in skin hydration, firmness, and overall skin health. This powerful ingredient helps to reduce the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines, enhance skin elasticity, and can even out skin tone.
Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of SKINVIVE™ in improving skin smoothness and hydration, as well as diminishing the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines. The Allergan Cheek Smoothness Scale was used to measure the smoothness of the cheeks. After a six-month follow-up period, it was found that most participants showed clinically significant improvements in skin smoothness, with at least one point increase. Post-marketing studies in Europe have also shown that Skinvive produces an increase in aquaporin-3 (AQP3) in cell membranes. Aquaporins are vital in the transport of water and glycerol in and out of cells. The increase in aquaporin is thought to potentially be responsible for the increased hydration that is seen in and around skin cells after treatment with Skinvive.
Hyaluronic Acid and Its Benefits
Hyaluronic acid is a wonder ingredient in the world of skincare. Found naturally in the body, it acts as a cushion and lubricant for joints and tissues, and is known for its ability to attract and bind to water molecules, enhancing the water content of the skin. The benefits of hyaluronic acid are numerous, including retaining moisture, stimulating collagen production, and improving skin elasticity.
When used in injectable treatments like SKINVIVE™, hyaluronic acid offers even more advantages. The substance can help maintain moisture, stimulate collagen production, and enhance skin elasticity, effectively diminishing the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines. By incorporating SKINVIVE microdroplet HA or even older hyaluronic acid fillers, patients can experience a safe and effective way to improve their skin’s appearance and reduce the signs of aging.
Treatment Process: What to Expect
The SKINVIVE™ treatment process is designed with patient comfort and satisfaction in mind. From the initial consultation to post-treatment care, every step is carefully planned to ensure the best possible results for each individual. To begin, Dr. Akhavan will evaluate the patient’s skin and discuss the desired outcome, then devise a personalized plan that may include a combination of treatments.
It’s important to note that the SKINVIVE™ treatment involves:
- The injection of microdroplets of hyaluronic acid into the skin to improve skin quality in the cheeks
- Increasing hydration and smoothness for a lasting glow that can last up to 6 months
- An additional treatment may be needed for some patients one month after the initial treatment for optimal results.
It is imperative to wait until any skin eruptions, such as cysts, pimples, rashes, hives, skin sores, or infections, have healed before undergoing SKINVIVE™ treatment, especially if you have had previous allergic reactions.
Consultation and Personalized Plan
During the consultation, Dr. Arash Akhavan will:
- Evaluate your skin concerns and treatment objectives
- Ensure your suitability for the procedure
- Conduct a comprehensive consultation, which is a crucial part of the therapeutic process
- Develop a personalized plan tailored to your unique needs
The preparation phase for the SKINVIVE™ procedure includes specific guidelines on skincare preparations, such as avoiding certain medications or products that could potentially interfere with the treatment or heighten the risk of side effects. By following these guidelines and working closely with us, you can maximize your results and minimize any potential complications.
Making The Treatment Comfortable
The SKINVIVE™ skin injection procedures are designed to be as comfortable as possible for patients. The physician will utilize a very fine needle to inject the microdroplets of hyaluronic acid into the skin, ensuring minimal discomfort during the treatment. Topical anesthesia may also be applied to the treatment area to further reduce any discomfort.
The inclusion of lidocaine in the SKINVIVE™ formula also offers additional comfort.
The Injection Procedure
The injection procedure for SKINVIVE™ is quick and relatively comfortable. Using a fine needle, Dr. Arash Akhavan will delicately inject the SKINVIVE™ gel just beneath the skin’s surface to directly address the areas of concern. This precision allows the provider to deliver targeted skin enhancement, increasing hydration and enhancing skin quality.
During the treatment, you may experience some slight discomfort, but it should not be too uncomfortable. The use of topical anesthesia and lidocaine in the formula ensures that any discomfort is minimized, allowing you to relax and focus on the exciting results that lie ahead.
Post-Treatment Care and Recovery
Post SKINVIVE™ treatment, the recovery period is minimal. The majority of patients can resume their day-to-day activities soon after the procedure as temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site typically subsides within a few days.
Beyond these guidelines, adhering to any instructions given by your healthcare professional is vital for a smooth recovery. By adhering to these post-treatment care recommendations, you can enjoy the full benefits of your SKINVIVE™ treatment and embrace your newfound confidence and radiance.
