After consultation, the treatment session typically takes about 10-15 minutes, with minimal to no downtime. You should avoid alcoholic beverages, strenuous exercise, and exposure to extensive sun and heat for the first 24 hours after treatment.

First, you’ll meet with your provider to chat about your medical history and treatment goals. This will help your provider determine if you’re a suitable candidate for treatment. (Pro Tip: come to the office without makeup on!) Then, your provider will examine your facial skin, take photos, and—if they think you’re a suitable candidate—offer up a few different options for pain management. Next, the treatment area will be cleaned and prepared with an antiseptic, and your provider may use a pen to mark and identify the areas they’d like to treat.

After the first injection, your provider will wait a few seconds before moving forward with treatment. SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM contains lidocaine to reduce injection site pain, and this break in treatment allows time for the anesthetic to take effect. Then the provider will inject microdroplets into the treatment area. Afterwards, they may massage the area gently to make sure that the product is evenly distributed, then apply ice to minimize swelling and reduce pain.

During your SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM consultation, ask your provider about numbing options—especially if you are sensitive to needles— because there may be minor discomfort during and after the treatment. As previously mentioned, SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM contains lidocaine to reduce injection site pain, but your provider may also choose to numb the treatment area with a topical or injected numbing agent to further minimize discomfort. Ice may be applied for a brief period following treatment to minimize swelling and reduce pain.

SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM provides results over the course of six months, without requiring a recurring series of treatments. Not only that, 84% of subjects were satisfied with how healthy their skin looked at one month, and 83% at six months (in comparison, only 38% of subjects felt this way pre-treatment). Overall, patients reported how glowing, hydrated, refreshed, and healthy their skin looked after treatment.

While individual results may vary, results may last for six months.

For the first 24 hours after treatment, avoid alcoholic beverages, strenuous exercise, and exposure to extensive sun and heat (as these may cause temporary redness, swelling, and/or itching at the injection site). Consult with your provider for further aftercare guidance.
