Skinvive Injectable Treatments
Skinvive is a 'skin booster' injectable option from Allergan, the makers of Botox Cosmetic, and is made from hyaluronic acid. This treatment adds hydration to smooth and improve the texture of skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines- resulting in skin that looks refreshed and glowing for up to six months. We like to remind patients that this treatment is within the dermis layer, so you won’t see any change in the shape or volume of your face—just healthier looking skin!
Skinvive is personally one of my favorite treatments because it is a breakthrough in skincare science! It deeply hydrates and revitalizes the skin but also helps my patients feel more confident and refreshed—bringing out their natural, glowing beauty from within! It's also a great starting point for patients who are nervous about traditional dermal fillers, but want to try something more than creams to help boost their skin texture and tone.

During this treatment your CGT provider will place a series of microdroplet injections of Skinvive onto the outer layer of skin. These will then diffuse evenly for a healthy-looking glow, lasting many patients up to 6 months!
*Please note that Lidocaine, a common pain reliever, is an ingredient in Skinvive which will help to keep you comfortable during the treatment.
On average, a Skinvive treatment session lasts about 15 minutes once you are in the patient room.
For optimal results you should minimize strenuous exercise, exposure to extensive sun or heat, and alcoholic beverages within the first 24 hours following treatment.
Unlike traditional fillers that add volume, Skinvive focuses on improving skin quality and hydration without significantly altering facial contours. For this reason Skinvive is often referred to as an "injectable moisturizer" or "skin hydrator."
