Is SKINVIVE reversible?
Because SKINVIVE is placed in tiny microdroplets rather than larger deposits, it isn't reversed the way a traditional filler can be. It gradually breaks down and absorbs into the body over time.
Can SKINVIVE help with acne scars or dark spots?
SKINVIVE improves skin smoothness and hydration rather than treating pigmentation or scarring. Microneedling or laser resurfacing may be a better option for those concerns.
Is SKINVIVE safe for sensitive skin?
Most skin types tolerate SKINVIVE well, and your treatment plan is always adjusted for your skin's unique needs and history.
Can I wear makeup after my treatment?
Most patients can apply makeup shortly after their appointment, though your provider may suggest waiting a few hours if there's noticeable swelling.
Does SKINVIVE work well with a skincare routine?
Yes. SKINVIVE adds hydration from within, while your topical skincare continues to protect and support your skin's surface.
Can SKINVIVE be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM isn't recommended for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
How is SKINVIVE different from BOTOX?
BOTOX relaxes the muscles that cause certain wrinkles, while SKINVIVE hydrates and smooths the skin itself. Many patients use both together for a more complete result.
Do I need to avoid the sun after treatment?
Wearing SPF is recommended after any injectable treatment, and your provider may suggest avoiding direct sun for a day or two to reduce irritation.
