Skinvive™ in Wellesley, MA

Skinvive™

Skinvive™ is an injectable skin hydration treatment designed to improve skin smoothness and texture. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume, Skinvive™ works by enhancing skin hydration through microdroplet injections of hyaluronic acid just beneath the surface. This treatment is FDA-approved and specifically formulated to improve cheek skin quality, making it appear smoother and more radiant. The product attracts water within the skin, promoting increased hydration and helping reduce the appearance of fine lines. Skinvive™ can treat areas like the cheeks and lower face, where skin texture and elasticity often change with age.

Skinvive™ in Wellesley, MA, is an ideal option for adults who want to improve skin texture without adding volume or undergoing more invasive procedures. It’s suitable for those with mild skin dryness or early signs of aging. Most patients begin to see improvements in skin appearance within 1-2 weeks after treatment. Results typically last up to six months, making it a convenient option for maintaining a refreshed look. To experience the benefits of Skinvive™, schedule your consultation today at Aesthetic Journey in Wellesley, MA.

What to Expect Before and After a Skinvive™ Treatment

Before Your Skinvive™ Treatment:

Preparation is simple and helps ensure optimal results. Here’s what you should do in the days leading up to your appointment:

  • Don’t drink alcohol, take aspirin, or take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen for at least 24-48 hours before treatment to minimize the possibility of bruising.
  • Refrain from using retinol, glycolic acid, or exfoliants on the treatment area 2-3 days prior.
  • Arrive with clean skin—free from makeup, lotions, or sunscreen.
  • Please inform your provider if you have any active skin infections or cold sores or are currently taking medications that affect healing.
  • Stay well-hydrated, as proper hydration may improve how Skinvive™ integrates with your skin.

After Your Skinvive™ Treatment:

Post-treatment care helps maintain your results and avoid irritation. You can return to your routine quickly, but follow these guidelines for the best outcomes:

  • Do not touch, rub, or apply pressure to the treated area for 24 hours.
  • You should avoid exercise, saunas, and hot tubs for 24-48 hours after treatment.
