Skinvive by Juvederm is the first and only FDA-approved microdroplet injectable for improving smoothness and hydration in the cheeks. We are very proud to have had our owner and founder, Dr. Mona Foad, selected as a national trainer for this revolutionary new treatment. Learn more about the science behind Skinvive in this blog post.

Mona Dermatology was fortunate to be among the first practices to start giving Skinvive treatments in late September 2023. We treated several of our staff members ranging in ages from 27 to 57, and today we are excited to share their Skinvive results and experiences with you!

It’s important to remember that because Skinvive is hydrating your skin from within, some people may not show obvious visual changes in their skin. However, they will feel the difference in their skin quality. To give the most comprehensive look at Skinvive results, we are including before and afters, a patient testimonial, as well as notable changes in their skin quality as detected by our VISIA Skin Analysis.

Skinvive Before and After

Patient 1: Kylee, Female, Age 27

“After skinvive my skin feels soft, and more hydrated. I feel like my makeup sits better because my skin feels more plump. My cheeks now have more of a “glow” to them, as well.” – Kylee

The most notable change in Kylee’s skin after her VISIA Skin Analysis is that her pore size improved from the 40th percentile before treatment to the 70th percentile among patients in her age group!

Patient 2: Amber, Female, Age 33

“I love the softness that my skin feels up to this point. This is also about the time I start my heavier moisturizer since I get dry this time of year. However, my skin feels so hydrated and my skincare products seem to absorb way better as well.”

The most notable change in Amber’s skin after her VISIA Skin Analysis is that her pore size improved from the 12th percentile before treatment to the 67th percentile among patients in her age group!

Patient 3: Christy, Female, Age 57

“My skin feels as hydrated and soft as it did 20 years ago.  I started noticing the difference in the first week post-treatment.  I will definitely want this treatment every 6 months”.

The most notable change in Christy’s skin after her VISIA Skin Analysis is that her pore size improved from the 35th percentile before treatment to the 82nd percentile among patients in her age group. This was the most dramat ic change we saw among these 5 patients!

Patient 4: Angelica, Female, Age 35

“I noticed almost immediately that Skinvive gave me that “glass skin” appearance. My smile lines are gone and my skin tone looks softer and airbrushed.”

The most notable change in Angie’s skin after her VISIA Skin Analysis were in her wrinkles and texture. Her wrinkles improved from the 31st percentile to the 50th percentile and her texture improved from the 68th percentile to the 78th percentile among patients in her age group.

Patient 5: Emily, Female, Age 34

“Lately I have been getting alot of compliments on how glowy my skin looks. I feel like my skin looks dewy and more plump.”

While Emily’s VISIA Skin Analysis had no major change in stats such as pore size or texture, her skin does show a noticeable change in luminosity and glow as mentioned in her testimonial.

WHAT IS SKINVIVE & HOW DOES IT WORK

The quality of our skin is one of the key indicators for our overall health and youthfulness. For many of the top contributors to skin quality, such as skin tone, texture, and elasticity we already have tools to address them here in our office. But when it comes to hydration, up until now our best options have been topical moisturizers & hydrators, such as SKinMedica’s HA5, or hydrating facial treatments such as Diamond Glow or Oxygen Facial. The issue with all of these options is that they do not provide a long-lasting hydration and only address the top layers of skin. Hydration affects not only the way skin looks and feels, but also how it reacts and behaves. Skinvive is a hyaluonic acid injectable that is placed in the deeper layers of the skin and acts like a long-lasting moisturizer. Skinvive creates a glow and smoothness that lasts up to 6 months!

SKINVIVE CLINICAL STUDIES

Skinvive was studied in 208 patients across all skin types who had moderate to severe loss of overall cheek smoothness, including visible signs such as coarse and uneven skin texture, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. After being treated with Skinvive, the majority of patients improved by at least one score on the cheek smoothness scale. This means if they started with severe loss of smoothness, they improved to show only moderate or minimal loss of smoothness post-treatment. This improvement also persisted for 6 months. When asked to rate their skin at 3 months post-treatment, 84% saw an improvement in overall skin health, 74% saw improvement in radiance, 78% saw improvement in hydration, and 79% felt their skin looked more refreshed. Other notable improvements included pore appearance, skin tone and color, smoothness, morning appearance, and end of day appearance.

WHAT TO PAIR WITH YOUR SKINVIVE TREATMENT

The best way to create plump, glowing skin is by addressing hydration within all layers of the skin. Topical skincare products are great for hydrating the top layer of your skin, known as the epidermis. Some of our favorites include hyaluronic acid hydrators such as HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator or HA Immerse Serum. Using a moisturizer daily will also help to lock in moisture and protect your skin barrier; some of our best-sellers include SkinMedica Rejuvenative Moisturizer, SkinMedica Ultra Sheer Moisturizer, and SkinMedica Dermal Repair Cream. The next layer in your skin is known as the Dermo-epidermal junction. The best way to address this layer is with treatments that can infuse more deeply into the skin, such as the Diamond Glow Hyaluronic Acid Serum treatment. Lastly, by injecting Skinvive into the deep dermis, you will have incorporated hyaluronic acid to all layers of the skin.
