SkinVive in Toronto

SkinVive treatments are designed to be as comfortable as possible. The procedure involves microinjections of a hyaluronic acid-based formula into the skin, and our providers use a numbing cream to minimize discomfort. Patients often describe the sensation as mild, similar to small pinpricks.

The number of SkinVive appointments you’ll need depends on your individual skin goals. Generally, two initial treatments spaced about four weeks apart are recommended. After completing this series, many patients opt for touch-up sessions every six to nine months to maintain the benefits.

SkinVive treatments’ results typically appear within 1 to 2 weeks after your session. You might notice skin texture, hydration, and radiance improvements as the treatment stimulates collagen production. However, the full effect may take a few weeks to develop as your skin continues to rebuild and rejuvenate from within. It’s common to undergo a series of treatments for more significant results, with the most noticeable benefits appearing after the second session. The effects can last several months, with maintenance touch-ups recommended to sustain the refreshed look.

Yes, SkinVive can be combined with other cosmetic procedures like BOTOX, dermal fillers, or microneedling and can provide comprehensive skin rejuvenation, targeting both skin texture and volume loss. SkinVive’s ability to improve skin hydration and texture makes it an excellent complement to these treatments, as it creates a smooth, refreshed appearance that amplifies the results of other procedures.

SkinVive is a safe treatment with minimal risks. After the treatment, you might notice mild redness, swelling, or bruising around the injection areas, but these usually fade within a few hours or days. While rare, some individuals experience allergic reactions or more significant swelling.
