What is SkinVive?

SkinVive by Juvéderm is the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable designed to enhance skin smoothness and hydration in the cheeks. Rather than adding volume or structure, SkinVive works just beneath the surface of the skin to improve texture, luminosity, and softness. This treatment is ideal for patients seeking visible skin rejuvenation without changing the natural contours of the face.

Fechner MD Patient Testimonial 

Everyone from office staff to clinicians displayed a very caring attitude and genuine interest in my progress. Dr. Fechner was always professional and caring. - P.T.

What to Expect During SkinVive Treatment

Each SkinVive session is performed in our comfortable Worcester office. The treatment takes about 15 to 30 minutes and involves a series of microdroplet injections into the dermis of the cheeks. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and a topical anesthetic can be applied beforehand if desired.

Because SkinVive does not alter volume or facial structure, the results are subtle yet significant—a noticeable glow and smoother skin without any "done" appearance.

SkinVive Treatment Recovery and Results

There is no required downtime following SkinVive. Mild redness, tenderness, or swelling at the injection sites may occur but typically resolve within 24 to 48 hours. Patients often report smoother, more radiant skin within one week, with optimal results visible at two weeks and lasting up to six months. Regular maintenance treatments can help preserve and prolong your results.

Is SkinVive safe for individuals with autoimmune conditions?

While many people with autoimmune conditions can undergo SkinVive safely, it is essential to disclose your medical history during consultation. Dr. Fechner or a team expert will assess your eligibility.

How should I prepare for my SkinVive appointment?

Avoid alcohol, aspirin, and anti-inflammatory medications for at least 24 hours before your appointment to reduce the risk of bruising. Stay well hydrated and arrive with a clean face.

Can SkinVive be used on areas other than the cheeks?

SkinVive is currently FDA-approved specifically for the cheeks. Off-label use in other areas may be considered case-by-case but should be discussed in consultation.

Are there risks associated with SkinVive treatment?

Yes, though rare, risks include swelling, bruising, lumps, infection, and allergic reaction. Choosing a board-certified provider with a deep understanding of facial anatomy minimizes these risks.

Will SkinVive affect how makeup sits on my skin?

Many patients notice that their makeup applies more smoothly after treatment due to enhanced hydration and skin texture. However, it is generally recommended to avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment to minimize the risk of infection.

How often should I get SkinVive to maintain results?

Results typically last about six months. Scheduling maintenance treatments twice per year can help sustain a radiant and hydrated appearance over time.

Is SkinVive appropriate for mature or aging skin?

Yes, SkinVive can be highly beneficial for mature skin, offering a non-invasive option to improve skin quality and luminosity without adding volume.

Can I resume exercise after SkinVive treatment?

It’s best to avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours post-treatment to minimize the risk of swelling or bruising. Light walking is generally fine.

Does SkinVive treatment hurt?

Discomfort is minimal and typically brief. A topical anesthetic can be used beforehand to further reduce any sensitivity during the injections.
