Who is NOT a Candidate for SkinVive? 

While SkinVive is a fantastic option for most people looking to enhance their skin’s hydration and glow, some individuals may not be ideal candidates for treatment. You should avoid SkinVive if you:

• Are Pregnant or Breastfeeding – There’s limited research on its safety during pregnancy or nursing.
• Have Active Skin Infections or Acne Breakouts – Injections can spread bacteria and worsen conditions.
• Have a History of Severe Allergies – Especially to hyaluronic acid fillers or lidocaine (SkinVive contains both).
• Have an Autoimmune Disease Affecting Healing – Conditions like lupus or uncontrolled diabetes may increase risks.
• Have a Bleeding Disorder or Take Blood Thinners – These can lead to excessive bruising or complications.
• Are Prone to Keloids or Hypertrophic Scars – The treatment involves multiple microinjections, which may trigger excess scar tissue formation.
• Are Expecting Instant Wrinkle Reduction – SkinVive is designed for hydration and skin quality improvement, not deep wrinkle correction or volume enhancement.

How Often Do You Re-Treat with SkinVive?

SkinVive results typically last up to 6 months, so most clients retreat every 6 months to maintain their skin’s hydration, smoothness, and glow. However, some may choose to retreat sooner, around 4–5 months, if they want to keep their skin consistently radiant.

Recommended Retreat Timeline:

• Every 6 months for optimal skin hydration and glow
• Every 4–5 months if you prefer continuous results without any lapse
• As needed based on personal skin goals and provider recommendations

Can SkinVive Be Used with other Cosmetic Injectables?

Yes! SkinVive can be combined with other cosmetic injectables to create a customized, all-around refreshed look. Since SkinVive is a skin booster, not a filler, it pairs well with treatments that enhance volume, reduce wrinkles, or contour the face.
