SKINVIVE, often called an injectable moisturizer, is now available at Dallas Dermatology Partners.  

Our expertly skilled board-certified dermatologists are passionate about utilizing superior treatments and procedures with the best in evidence-based medicine to provide the highest level of dermatological care. Schedule your Dallas dermatology appointment today and get the glow of your dreams.  

What is SKINVIVE?  

SKINVIVE is a new class of skincare injectables that improves the appearance and feel of the skin without adding volume. It is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid microdroplet treatment designed to deliver revitalizing elasticity and glow. It flows easily into the skin and is approved for all skin types, from the lightest to the darkest. The thin, gel-like formula is injected into the dermis to nourish and minimize fine lines. A European post-marketing study suggested it may increase aquaporin 3, a key marker of hydration. 

SKINVIVE leaves your complexion softer, firmer, and more luminous. Unlike other dermal fillers, there’s no need to worry about overfilling, leaving your complexion softer, firmer, and more luminous. It optimizes your foundation’s performance by starting with a perfectly smooth canvas without creases or lines. And thanks to the potent HA formula protecting your skin barrier, dry, flakey skin is a thing of the past.

 

Who is SKINVIVE Right For? 

SKINVIVE is right for anyone 21 and over who wants to address concerns like:

• Acne scars
• Dullness
• Dryness
• Fine lines
• Mild to moderate wrinkles
• Crepey skin

Of course, it’s best to treat issues before they arise. Super-boost your prejuvenation ritual with SKINVIVE to keep your skin bouncy and brilliant. For those with significant skin laxity or who want to add volume or contour to their faces, it’s best to try our dermal fillers in Dallas.  

What to Expect  

It typically takes two to four weeks to see results as the formula settles into your skin and lasts about six months. However, many patients experience brightening effects immediately after their treatment.

Potential side effects include temporary

• Swelling
• Bruising
• Redness
• Pain at the injection site

The treatment is minimally invasive, with little to no downtime, and provides results for six months without requiring a series of treatments.

Skinvive injectables are carefully engineered to dramatically improve skin texture by boosting hydration, elasticity, and overall smoothness. Many patients who have received treatment with Skinvive note that they experienced an incredible glow. Could Skinvive be right for you? If you’re dissatisfied with your skin’s texture and want more radiance, you’ll want to talk to a dermatologist about having Skinvive in Dallas. 

How Does SKINVIVE Improve Skin Texture? 

Skinvive is a revolutionary hyaluronic acid-based injectable. How is it revolutionary when there are many other hyaluronic acid injectables? It uses microdroplet technology. Instead of being used as a filler to boost the volume of the skin, Skinvive is used for rejuvenation.  

The dermatologist will inject these microdroplets beneath the skin in the treatment areas. The hyaluronic acid naturally attracts a great deal of moisture and retains it, adding an impactful boost of hydration. 

The microdroplets get to work, smoothing out the texture of your skin. You’ll love what Skinvive does to imperfections like:

• Enlarged pores
• Acne scars
• Lines and wrinkles
• Uneven skin tone

It can even turn back the clock by improving your skin’s elasticity. Your skin will look more youthful and resilient. Plus, the “Skinvive Glow” effect is well-documented. 

 

How Quickly Can SKINVIVE Improve Skin Texture? 

While every patient’s experience with Skinvive will be a little different, it gets to work quickly and continues to improve over time. You may notice some improvement in your skin texture and radiance within the first week.  

Over time, the microdroplets will continue to integrate and retain more moisture. Your results will continue to improve, with optimal results typically occurring in about four weeks. 

How Long Will Your Glowing Skin Last After a SKINVIVE Treatment? 

Again, every patient’s experience will be a little different. Skinvive is a long-lasting treatment. Patients can generally expect to enjoy their results for up to six months. Once you see that your skin is getting a bit rough again or other cosmetic concerns become apparent, you can schedule a follow-up appointment to receive another treatment. 

Where Can SKINVIVE Improve Texture? 

Skinvive is FDA-approved to treat skincare concerns on the cheeks. However, your dermatologist may also recommend it for other treatment areas, such as the face, the neck, décolletage, or even the hands. Talk to your dermatologist about your skincare goals for a customized treatment plan.

The best age to start Sculptra is before you start noticing significant signs of aging, like volume loss, fine lines and wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. Many individuals wait until they are in their 40s to start a rigorous anti-aging routine that includes dermal fillers like Sculptra.

However, it’s not necessary to wait, and in fact, there are benefits to embracing an anti-aging routine much earlier in life. Talk to a dermatology provider to find out if this method of noninvasive rejuvenation could be right for you.

What If I’m Already in My 40s or Older?

If you are in your 40s or later, starting Sculptra right now is best. Like all dermal fillers, Sculptra works by plumping up the skin to minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and to restore areas characterized by volume loss.

However, Sculptra also works in another way. It functions as a biostimulatory agent that triggers the bodily mechanism that produces collagen. In other words, using a Sculptra filler will convince your skin to make more of its own collagen.

Remember that collagen is one of the proteins that is essential for the health and structural integrity of the skin, and the loss of collagen is one of the main factors that causes skin to look old.

Why Start Using Sculptra Fillers Earlier in Life?

Sculptra is approved for use in people at least 18 years of age, which means you don’t have to wait until you’ve already begun to see the signs of aging. In fact, if you wait to start Sculptra until you’re 45, you will have already lost up to 25% of your youthful collagen.

Why wait to address the signs of aging when you can take a more proactive approach? Beginning Sculptra treatments by your mid-to late 20s or at least by your 30s can provide a preventive effect. Dr. Dickson prefers to start her patients as soon as those early signs of loss of elasticity and volume loss occur to slow down the aging process, preventing the need for more invasive or involved interventions later in life.

You’ll build up your skin’s stores of collagens early on, effectively delaying the effects of time, gravity, and sun damage. With Sculptra fillers, you can enjoy better definition and more youthful skin long into your later years.

“Think of it as your foundation and maintenance for anti-aging. The elixir of youth!” – Dr. Lauren Dickson, Board-Certified Dermatologist

 

How Long Can Sculptra Last?

One key consideration when determining which dermal filler is right for your needs is its expected duration. Sculptra is one of the longer lasting injectables available on the market.

With each Sculptra treatment you receive, you can expect it to continue to work its magic under your skin for up to two full years.

What Else Should I Know About Sculptra?

Although Sculptra is commonly used as an anti-aging treatment for the face, this injectable has become a favorite of dermatologists and patients alike thanks to its versatility. It also recently received FDA approval for improvement in skin texture that we have always been aware of as the “Sculptra glow.”

For example, if you’ve lost a great deal of weight, you may have loose, sagging skin in areas like the jawline, knees, and upper arms. Sculptra treatments can address these issues. It can even be used for a nonsurgical butt lift or softening the appearance of the “hip dip”!
