SkinVive – Skin Hydrator
SKINVIVE Treatments in Wisconsin
What is SKINVIVE?
SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® helps the skin retain its natural moisture and softness leading to an improvement in the skin smoothness of the cheeks. SKINVIVE is the first and only hyaluronic acid (HA) micro droplet injectable approved by the FDA to provide such improvement to cheek skin.
Is SKINVIVE Right For Me?
Your skin loses HA and overall smoothness as you age. If you’re interested in replenishing your HA levels, effectively hydrating and revitalizing your skin from within, SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® may be right for you.
SKINVIVE is safe to use on all skin types and tones.

At your consultation, Dr. Parfitt will gather information from you and examine your skin to help you prioritize your concerns. He will help you achieve your best skin by preparing a treatment plan that ensures any skin treatments you choose are provided in a manner that is as effective and as safe as possible.

Treatment Guidelines
Pre Treatment
- Patients predisposed to developing cold sores should start on an antiviral medication such as Valtrex at least 2 days before A 7-day course of therapy is recommended (2 days prior and 5 days following treatment).
- Patients taking medications with anticoagulant effects, such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Aleve, and Celebrex or high doses of certain herbs such as gingko, vitamin E, garlic or ginseng may have an increased risk of bleeding or bruising. If possible, it is advised to discontinue these medications two weeks prior to treatment. If you can’t, the procedure can still be done, but with higher risk of bruising.
- Schedule all other spa or medical-grade facial treatments you are interested in receiving prior to your SKINVIVE™ appointment. If you are planning other procedures including laser treatments or a chemical peel, there is a possible risk of inflammation at the treatment site if these procedures are performed closely before or after SKINVIVE™ injectable gel treatment.
- Avoid rubbing and touching the area.
Post Treatment
Avoid applying products directly after treatment.
Tylenol may be taken for any discomfort.
Cool compresses may be applied gently for 5 minutes up to 4 times a day.
For the first 24 hours: or for as long as bruising persists, avoid extensive sun or heat exposure
avoid strenuous exercise and alcoholic beverages
keep head elevated while sleeping
Avoid receiving any other spa or medical-grade facial treatments for 4 weeks following treatment. If you are planning other procedures including laser treatments or a chemical peel, there is a possible risk of inflammation at the treatment site if these procedures are performed closely before or after SKINVIVE™ injectable gel treatment.
There is a small potential for the injectable to not disperse evenly and form a small “nodule”. Typically, a nodule cannot be seen but you may be able to feel it. If this occurs and is bothersome, please call our office to schedule a follow-up appointment.The nodule may be a lingering bruise not requiring treatment; however, if a true nodule has formed we may be able to evenly disperse the product.
