Skinvive FAQS
How is Skinvive different from dermal filler?
Traditional fillers are designed to restore volume and contour the face. Skinvive is designed to improve skin hydration, smoothness, and overall skin quality without changing facial shape or volume.
Is Skinvive the same as Botox?
No. Botox relaxes muscles that cause wrinkles, while Skinvive improves hydration and smoothness within the skin itself.
Will Skinvive make my face look fuller?
No. Skinvive is not intended to add volume or alter facial contours. Its purpose is to improve skin quality and hydration.
When should I schedule Skinvive before a wedding, vacation, or special event?
We generally recommend scheduling treatment 2-4 weeks before an important event to allow any swelling to resolve and results to fully develop.
