What Is The Injection Process?
Request ConsultationWhat is SkinVive?
Keeping your skin moisturized can be a challenge, especially as you age. Sometimes, moisturizer in ample amounts isn’t enough to produce the stunning glow you want. SkinVive is a unique new skin treatment that uses microdroplets of hyaluronic acid to brighten and moisturize the skin. This injectable treatment is our newest and most exciting addition here at Gilpin Facial Plastics & Aesthetics.
How Does SkinVive Work?
SkinVive is made by Juvéderm, the leading manufacturer of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Although similar to a filler, SkinVive does not create volume. Rather, it adds long-lasting moisture to rough, dry skin, achieving a more youthful and hydrated look. Once injected, hyaluronic acid microdroplets attract moisture in your body and produce hydration in the skin for moisture that lasts.
The injection process is quick and easy. Using a very fine needle, your injector will deposit tiny droplets of hyaluronic acid in the skin in a uniform pattern to ensure it’s evenly distributed. This process can take 10-20 minutes. You’ll see instant results, but it can take up to four weeks to see SkinVive’s full potential.

SkinVive can treat the following concerns:
- Dryness

Who is a Candidate for SkinVive?
SkinVive is a great option for many patients because virtually anyone can benefit from extra hydration in their skin. Still, our expert aesthetic injectors will go over your medical history in detail to ensure SkinVive will be safe and effective for you.
What Sets SkinVive Apart?
SkinVive is a first-of-its-kind treatment. Although many providers have been offering hyaluronic acid microdroplet treatments for years, SkinVive is the first dedicated treatment of its kind. It’s ideal for patients who want the hydrating benefits of hyaluronic acid but without the noticeable volume of a filler. It’s also ideal for its ability to produce a glowing, moisturized look for around six months, making it a valuable part of any effective anti-aging regimen.
Side Effects of SkinVive
The potential side effects of SkinVive are similar to filler treatments. As such, you may experience some redness, itching, bruising, and irritation at the treatment site – however, these side effects subside quickly and don’t interfere with your ability to navigate the rest of your day.
