Offered at your clinic

SkinVive Calgary

By Juvéderm

SkinVive is a hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable offered at our Dermapure clinics in Calgary. Rather than adding volume, the treatment delivers small amounts of modified hyaluronic acid just below the surface of the skin to support hydration from within and improve overall smoothness on the cheeks.

SkinVive can support hydrated, smoother-feeling skin on the cheeks, refresh the look of dehydrated or dull skin and contribute to a more even-looking surface, without changing the underlying volume or facial contours. The treatment may be received on its own, or paired with complementary in-clinic options such as other injectable treatments, skin tightening technologies or medical-grade skincare protocols, depending on individual goals and skin needs.

Because every patient’s skin, goals and medical history are different, SkinVive at our Dermapure clinics in Calgary always begins with a personalized consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will assess whether SkinVive is the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results and the possible side effects.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1
Personalized Assessment
Identifying your treatment goals and needs is essential. Several aspects are to be considered, including your age, skin quality and condition, genetics, etc., and would affect the amount of product required for optimal and natural results. During the consultation we will discuss your goals and expectations and present our expertise to offer the best advice based on your priorities and budget.
Step 2
Take Pictures
Pictures taken before the procedure help to get a better view and understanding of the areas affected and can be used when discussing your goals with the physician. When compared to your “After” pictures, they are an effective way to see the results of the treatment and will be used as reference over time.
Step 3
Proceed with Injections
Multiple microdroplet injections—where a tiny amount of product is injected just below the skin—are performed on each cheek by a specialist. Lidocaine, a common pain reliever (you get it at the dentist), is an ingredient in SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM to keep you comfortable. A typical injection treatment lasts 15 minutes.
Step 4
Return to Normal Activities
Treatment with SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM has minimal downtime. Minimize strenuous exercise, exposure to extensive sun or heat, and alcoholic beverages within the first 24 hours following treatment.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

Touch-ups may be required for optimum results. It is recommended to have annual follow-up procedures to maintain the results. With regular procedures, the frequency and the amount of product needed may diminish over time.

Contraindications

The use of this product where skin sores, pimples, rashes, hives, cysts, or infections are present should be postponed, as this may delay healing or make skin problems worse. Women who are pregnant or nursing should postpone this procedure.
