SKINVIVE™and BOTOX® are revolutionary injections that make powerful additions to any rejuvenation routine. Debuting in 1989, Botox is one of the most famous and popular neuromodulators for reducing wrinkles and fine lines. SKINVIVE™ is an innovative new hyaluronic acid skin booster approved by the FDA in 2023. It improves the radiance and texture of the skin by plumping and hydrating beneath the surface. But is one better than the other? Not necessarily. They are a cosmetic power couple that complement each other’s effects. Contact Dallas Dermatology Partners for an expert consultation to learn how BOTOX® and SKINVIVE™can achieve your dream results.
How do they work?
SKINVIVE™and BOTOX® each target different layers to get more youthful, smoother skin. SKINVIVE™ is a shot of hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler placed between the layers of skin on your cheeks. The gel-like consistency expands to improve uneven texture, acne scarring, wrinkles, fine lines, and elasticity. It also boosts collagen production for long-term benefits. Think of it like a hyaluronic acid serum that penetrates deeper and works more effectively.
BOTOX® is commonly injected directly into the muscle to prevent it from moving. Put simply, it gives the muscles a break from the repetitive movement that causes wrinkles and lines. BOTOX® works at the deep muscular level, targeting facial movements to achieve desired physical transformations, such as fuller lips or smoothing away crow’s feet.
What are the results?
SKINVIVE™ thoroughly replenishes the skin, leaving it smoothed, plumped, and dewy. In most cases, the effects of SKINVIVE™ start to appear immediately with instantly brighter skin. Over time, patients see more noticeable differences as the filler settles into the skin and the benefits of intensified hydration become visible. The result is a natural, real-life filter look. Not only can you see the results, but you can feel them—some recipients report their skin is less dry in the dehydrating summer and winter months—another great reason to use SKINVIVE™ in Dallas.
BOTOX® results are more gradual and typically peak at 10 to 14 days post-injection. Wrinkles undergo significant reduction, and any intentional face changes take effect. The wait sounds long, but the dramatic results justify it.
How long do they last?
SKINVIVE™ keeps skin supple and glowy for at least six months. BOTOX® generally lasts three to four months, varying by injection site.
Which one is right for me?
The right treatment depends on your beauty goals. SKINVIVE™ offers age-defying, moisturized skin with only a few annual visits. BOTOX® can give you wrinkle-less skin, dramatic muscle changes, and relief from other conditions with slightly more frequent visits. Why choose when you can have it all? With SKINVIVE™ supplying moisture and smoothness and Botox preventing wrinkles, the two together amplify results for a dramatically rejuvenated appearance.
