SKINVIVE BY JUVÉDERM®

The results of one SKINVIVE treatment can last for up to nine months, and the effects of the treatment are immediate and go on improving by stimulating the body’s own natural collagen.

In clinical trials, 91% of patients were more satisfied with their skin, 96% had smoother cheeks after treatment and after 6 months, patients still saw improvement after the initial treatment.

There is no downtime and you can resume your normal activities after treatment. Following the treatment, you may experience slight redness, swelling, or bruising in the injected area. These effects should not last for more than a week and are easily covered with mineral makeup.

You should be able to notice a difference in skin quality almost immediately with optimal results being seen within the first month. Your skin will look smoother and more hydrated in a totally natural way.

Platelets are tiny cells that circulate within our body and bind together when they recognize damaged blood vessels. Platelets are made in your bone marrow along with your white and red blood cells.

Plasma Boost is produced when a small amount of blood is drawn and placed into a sterile, disposable container and then, spun to separate the platelets from your blood sample, resulting in a Plasma Boost.

Here’s what you can expect during recovery and what you can do to care for your skin as it heals:

• 6 Hours: Avoid touching the treated area or applying makeup.
• 48 Hours: Sleep with your head elevated, preferably on your back, to lessen swelling and bruising.
• 72 Hours: Don’t scrub, exfoliate, or massage the treated area. You might have some discomfort and swelling during these first few days. Try taking Tylenol (acetaminophen) and applying an ice pack wrapped in a thin cloth for 5 minutes at a time.
• 2 Weeks: After this point, give us a call if you feel any lumps or unevenness in the skin. Your skin will feel firm and then soften over time. Use a moisturizer such as Vaseline or Aquaphor to combat any itching or dryness you feel in the meantime.

Any bruising or swelling you may have should go away after 3 or 4 days.
