SkinVive

Hydration is a key factor in skin quality. SkinVive is an injectable treatment made of hyaluronic acid and aquaporin-3 delivered through microdroplets that deeply hydrates the skin from within. By stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, it provides an effective solution for softer skin and a radiant complexion.

    Deeply hydrate your skin with SkinVive

    Firmer, more hydrated skin: Discover the secret to more intensely hydrated skin with SkinVive™. By compensating for the natural decrease in hyaluronic acid associated with aging, this treatment slows down skin aging and improves skin texture. It stimulates natural collagen and elastin production, helping to maintain skin firmness.

    Hydration benefits: Increased levels of aquaporin-3 (AQP3) can enhance skin hydration, contributing to healthier, more beautiful skin.

    Natural results: SkinVive™ injections offer subtle, natural results that leave your skin looking fresh and radiant.

    Long-lasting glow: SkinVive™ is the only hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable treatment that provides deep, lasting hydration for up to 9 months after a single session.

    Good to know

    What is the role of aquaporin-3 (AQP3)?

    Aquaporin-3 (AQP3) is a protein that facilitates the transport of water across cell membranes. It plays a crucial role in maintaining skin hydration and regulating the skin’s barrier function. In addition to its role in water transport, AQP3 is also involved in the transport of glycerol, an organic compound important for skin hydration and function.

    Information

    How does a SkinVive treatment work?

    Before each treatment, you will have a consultation with our team to assess the condition of your skin and discuss your goals. At the beginning of the session, a numbing cream is applied to the areas to be treated. Then, hyaluronic acid is injected under the skin using very fine needles. The product is administered through a series of small, precise injections into the targeted areas.

    The results of SkinVive™ injections are visible immediately after the treatment, but the final and optimal results will be noticeable after 2 to 4 weeks. To optimize these results, it is crucial to follow the post-treatment recommendations provided by our medical team. This treatment is safe and allows for a quick return to your daily activities.

    FAQ
    • What is the difference between SkinVive and a classic Skinbooster?

      SkinVive stands out from classic skinboosters due to its unique technology that combines hyaluronic acid and aquaporin-3 (AQP3). While traditional skinboosters are primarily designed to improve surface skin hydration, SkinVive works deeper by stimulating collagen and elastin production, while providing lasting hydration for up to 9 months. Its effect is more targeted, improving the skin’s texture, firmness, and radiance in the long term.

    • Are there any side effects after a SkinVive treatment?

      After a SkinVive treatment, side effects such as redness, swelling, or bruising may occur, but they often resolve within a few days. It is normal to feel small lumps during the first 4 weeks after the injection. To minimize risks and ensure optimal recovery, it is essential to follow post-treatment recommendations carefully.

    • What are the post-treatment recommendations after hyaluronic acid injections?

      To optimize results and promote rapid recovery, here are the main post-treatment recommendations:

      – Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for 24 to 48 hours.

      – As long as redness persists, limit excessive sun exposure and sources of heat (such as saunas or very hot baths). Apply sunscreen with SPF 50+.

      – For the first 24 hours, do not apply makeup to the treated area, avoid touching it, or applying pressure. Refrain from intense physical exercise and limit alcohol consumption.

      – To soothe swollen or red areas, you can apply a cold compress.

      – If you experience severe pain, excessive swelling, or unusual symptoms, consult your doctor immediately.

      These precautions will help you maximize results while ensuring optimal recovery.

    How much does a SkinVive treatment cost?

    The choice of products and the quantity to be injected remains at all times the physician’s decision. A $30 deposit is required when booking your appointment. This amount will be reimbursed when you come to the clinic.
