Introduction
Skinvive™ by JUVÉDERM® is an injectable that adds tiny microdroplets of a modified hyaluronic acid (HA) gel within the skin layer. HA fillers are designed to bind water molecules to add volume beneath the skin, making Skinvive™ a perfect solution for patients who wish to restore their natural glow without altering their facial structure or volume. The result is healthy, hydrated, refreshed skin.
Over time, our skin begins to dull and sag. This is most noticeable in our cheeks, which go from plump and smooth to developing a rough texture as we age. Fortunately, there are specific treatments available to help firm up and restore the skin’s natural glow. Prosilience Studio offers Skinvive to patients in Arlington, MA (just a few miles northwest of Boston), a popular cosmetic treatment that smooths and hydrates cheeks and reduces fine lines.

First Steps
Your first step in getting Skinvive in Boston and the surrounding area is to contact our office and schedule a consultation. During this consultation, you can meet with Dr. Catharine Crawford or one of our certified injectionists, who will carefully examine your skin and discuss your medical history. You should keep an open and honest dialogue with your provider because it is essential to ensure your safety and minimize any potential risks or side effects. We will take the time to address all of your questions and concerns, ensuring that you feel informed and confident in your decisions.
After gathering all the necessary information, your personalized treatment plan will be created to meet your aesthetic needs. If you are satisfied with this plan, you can proceed with receiving your Skinvive treatment on the same day, or if you prefer, our Patient Coordinator can help you reschedule for a more convenient time in your schedule.
When it’s time for your Skinvive treatment, it will be performed at our practice and is very quick.
We will first have you get comfortable in our reclining chair and then apply either a cold compress or a topical anesthetic cream to the treatment area. Although Skinvive isn’t “painful,” these little additions help you have a more comfortable experience.
Your provider will carefully and strategically inject Skinvive into the predetermined treatment areas using a fine needle. Her expertise and artistic eye will ensure precise placement and achieve natural-looking results. The injectable will be massaged around the treated area throughout the injection process to ensure an even distribution.
After the injections, your provider will assess the results and make any necessary touch-ups. This may involve additional injections or adjustments to achieve the desired outcome.
The entire procedure typically takes between 10 to 30 minutes but will vary depending on the location(s) of the injection and the type of injectable you’re receiving.
After your treatment, you can expect some swelling, redness, and bruising after the procedure, but these side effects are usually mild and go away within a few days. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the treatment, but your provider and injector may advise you to avoid strenuous exercise and exposure to sunlight, as well as avoid any alcoholic beverages within the first 24 hours following treatment. We will also give you specific aftercare instructions to help you achieve the best results moving forward.

The cost of Skinvive in Boston and Arlington will vary based on various factors, including the treatment area, the number of sessions needed, and the amount of Skinvive used.
