Skinvive Cheek Filler: Exploring the Innovative Dermal Filler and Its Unique Advantages

In recent years, dermal fillers have gained significant popularity among men and women looking to transform their bodies. They are a non-invasive solution for various signs of aging and a simple way for anyone to enhance their natural beauty. New to the market, Skinvive is an innovative new type of dermal filler with unique advantages.

Dermal fillers are typically used to address cosmetic concerns like wrinkles, lost volume, or general rejuvenation. But Skinvive by Juvederm stands out among the many dermal filler options on the market today. Instead of adding volume beneath the skin, Skinvive targets the skin itself – adding hydration, volume, and a natural glow.

Curious about Skinvive? Keep reading to learn more about Skinvive, including how it stands out compared to other dermal fillers and the many unique benefits of this new cosmetic injection.

What is Skinvive by Juvederm?

Juvederm is a well-known dermal filler brand that offers a wide range of products designed to address various cosmetic concerns, from reducing wrinkles to adding volume to the skin. They have several formulations, each tailored for specific areas of the face.

Skinvive by Juvederm is a microdroplet injectible specifically designed to smooth the skin of the cheeks. It’s the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid-based product that provides long-term hydration of your skin.

For that reason, Skinvive is being referred to as a “skin booster” rather than a filler (although technically, it still falls under the dermal filler category).

The glow from Skinvive injections is unique in the world of fillers. Let’s look a little more closely at how Skinvive differs from traditional dermal fillers.

Skivive vs Traditional Dermal Fillers

  1. Most dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. When injected into the skin, hyaluronic acid increases skin volume, smoothes wrinkles, reverses sagging skin, and gives your skin a healthy glow.
  2. Skinvive by Juvederm is made from hyaluronic acid with a small amount of local anesthetic (lidocaine) to make injections less noticeable. During your treatment, tiny microdroplets are injected at various injection points about 0.5-1 cm apart.
  3. Other fillers by Juvederm and Restylane are injected beneath the skin to shape, fill, and augment your facial features. These fillers don’t affect the skin but can plump up your lips, add volume to a small chin, or make your cheekbones more prominent. Injections go deeper, beneath the dermis, to add volume and shape.
  4. Skinvive is different. It makes the most of the hydrating components in hyaluronic acid to treat the skin rather than add volume and shape. In clinical tests, the surface-level injections increased aquaporin levels, a hydration marker that helps water flow in and out of skin cells.
  5. Skinvive doesn’t affect the shape of your face. Instead, it gives your skin a luminous, healthy glow. Your skin appears healthier and more hydrated, with a glow that lasts up to six months.

Benefits of Skinvive

Since Skinvive by Juvederm is unique in the skincare market, it has many distinct advantages. The treatment was recently approved by the FDA – in September 2023 – so the benefits and uses are still being explored.

Let’s look at a few of the more significant Skinvive benefits.

  • Natural-looking results. First and most important, Skinvive provides natural-looking results. This filler isn’t used to change, shape, augment, or adjust – it simply enhances your inner beauty with hydrated, glowing skin. (Almost as if you consistently had 8 hours of sleep and drank the recommended water intake every single day.)
  • Reduced downtime. Since the Skinvive injections are closer to the surface, you can expect minimal downtime and recovery. The most common side effects are redness, bumps, swelling, bruising, pain, tenderness, and itching.
  • Long-lasting results. On average, Skinvive increases skin’s hydration for six months (or more!) Imagine the confidence boost you’ll get with bright, healthy-looking skin that lasts half a year. That confidence will inevitably spill over into other areas of your life, all with a little help from Skinvive.

Overall, the skin-boosting benefits of Skinvive fill a previously unaddressed need in the world of dermal fillers. However, Skinvive isn’t the right choice for everyone. Let’s take a closer look at who can benefit from Skinvive.

Who's a Good Candidate for Skinvive

Skinvive is a versatile filler substitute that will benefit a wide range of candidates. For men and women concerned about the signs of aging – such as fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of facial volume – Skinvive is an excellent skincare option with exciting potential.

Skinvive is also suitable for clients looking for natural-looking results with minimal downtime and a long-lasting effect. It hydrates your skin and enhances your natural beauty for up to 6 months.

However, those looking to dramatically increase the volume of your face with plumper lips, more dramatic cheekbones, etc. – will want to consider a more traditional dermal filler instead.

Traditional fillers also tend to last longer, up to a year in most cases, for a more dramatic facial enhancement treatment.

Skinvive also doesn’t affect the muscles to get rid of dynamic wrinkles like smile and frown lines. Botox is a better option for dynamic wrinkles caused by frequent facial movements!

Clients with a history of allergies that cause anaphylaxis, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and those with certain medical conditions are not eligible for Skinvive. During your free consultation at Stadia Med Spa, one of our skincare experts will examine your skin and review your medical history to ensure you are a good candidate for Skinvive!
