Frequently Asked Questions

What can patients expect during the procedure?

The presence of lidocaine in the injectable gel ensures a comfortable experience. Most patients describe a mild warmth during the procedure.

What should I expect after my SKINVIVE™ treatment?

Immediately after the treatment, you might notice tiny "mosquito bite" marks at the injection sites, but don't worry – these usually fade within 30-60 minutes. You can apply makeup after your treatment if desired.

For optimal results, avoid lying down for 2 hours following the procedure. That evening, you can resume your normal skincare regime, but skip any products with active ingredients like retinol or glycolic acid. The following day, resume your full skincare routine, including actives. Remember, diligent use of SPF 50+ is essential to protect your skin. Soon after your treatment, you may start to notice a softer feel to your skin.

When can I see the results?

While some improvements may be noticeable shortly after the treatment, the full effects become more evident around six weeks, with maximum results visible around 12 weeks.
