What is Skinvive and how does it work?

While stimulating collagen and elastin is essential for promoting graceful aging and reducing the signs of aging, it is equally important to focus on the foundation these two vital substances rely on. This foundation, known as the “ground substance,” is primarily composed of hyaluronic acid.

Skinvive is a hyaluronic acid injectable treatment designed to provide long-lasting skin hydration while improving skin texture by addressing roughness and fine lines. It works by targeting the deep layers of the skin, delivering hydration from the inside out.

By attracting and retaining water, Skinvive uses hyaluronic acid to enhance the skin’s natural hydration levels, leaving it plump and revitalized.

At Ra, we tailor our treatments based on your skin type, facial structure, and fat distribution. We offer a range of hyaluronic acid-based skin boosters, including Skinvive, Skin Booster, NCTF, and more, to suit your individual needs.

What is the procedure like?
The procedure typically takes 15 minutes or less.
1. The treatment area is cleansed thoroughly, and an ice pack is applied to numb the skin.
2. Dr. Rashmi Shetty then administers the treatment using a very fine needle.
3. After the procedure, the team ensures your comfort by gently massaging the treated area.

What can I expect?
– Immediate improvement in dehydrated skin and uneven texture
– Smoother, more refined skin
– Reduction in fine lines
– A radiant, glowing complexion

When will I see results?
You may notice results shortly after the procedure. However, the best outcomes typically appear within a month.

How long do the results last?
The duration of results depends on the number of sessions and treatment frequency, which Dr. Rashmi Shetty will determine during your consultation. Results generally lasts about 6 months.

Are there any risks?
Although rare, potential side effects may include mild inflammatory reactions, temporary bumps, bruising, or discoloration at the injection site. These effects typically resolve on their own, and complications are uncommon.
