Acne is among the most common skin issues, and unfortunately, it doesn’t always leave without a trace. Often, acne leaves behind telltale scars and dark spots that can create a patchwork of pockmarks across the face.
When you’re ready to say “sayonara” to those unwanted acne scars, talk to one of our dermatologists about Skinvive™. It’s one of the latest revolutionary treatments by Juvéderm—and you’re going to love how it will transform your complexion.
What Exactly Is SKINVIVE™?
Skinvive™ is the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable. Of course, there are plenty of other hyaluronic acid injectables out there, but only Skinvive™ uses microdroplet technology. (Unlike other such injectables, Skinvive™ is used as a skin rejuvenator, rather than a volumizer.)
Skinvive™’s microdroplets are placed just beneath the surface of the skin. They dramatically plump up the skin by pulling in and holding onto an enormous amount of moisture—up to 1,000 times their own molecular weight!
Not only can Skinvive™ moisturize your skin from the inside out, but it also plumps up depressed areas—like those pesky acne scars. The result is a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your acne scars and, overall, enviable skin smoothness and texture.
How Quickly Does SKINVIVE™ Help with Acne Scars?
Before you book your appointment for Skinvive™ in Dallas, you might have some questions about the treatment. One of the most common questions we hear involves how quickly the treatment works.
Every patient’s experience is a little different, of course, but you should notice some signs of improvement fairly soon after your first treatment. As the microdroplets continue to work their magic under the surface of your skin, your acne scars will gradually plump up and your skin texture will smooth out further.
You’ll notice more dramatic results after a week or two, and the full results will be visible within four weeks. This is about how long it typically takes for the microdroplets to become fully integrated.
How Long Does SKINVIVE™ Last?
Like many other hyaluronic acid injectables, Skinvive™ is long-lasting, but the results aren’t permanent. This acne scar treatment has been clinically proven to last up to six months. After that point, you can schedule another appointment with our clinicians to receive touch-up treatments.
Is SKINVIVE™ Right for All Skin Types and Tones?
Absolutely! This acne scar treatment was clinically studied and proven effective and safe for patients with all skin types and all tones.
Where Can SKINVIVE™ Be Used?
Skinvive™ is FDA-approved to treat skincare concerns in the cheeks. However, dermatologists may be able to use it on an off-label basis for acne scars in other treatment areas. Consult your dermatologist for more information.
