Injectables
SKINVIVE is not a filler, even though it is injected and even though it is made by JUVÉDERM. Nothing is being shaped or volumised. Tiny microdroplets of hyaluronic acid are placed just under the surface to improve how smooth and hydrated the skin of your cheeks actually is.

Everything below is what Mandy would tell you in person. Nothing is sold to you here, only explained.
Book now →Filler is placed deeper and in larger amounts to restore volume and build structure. SKINVIVE is placed in microdroplets just beneath the skin surface and is not intended to change your shape at all. The difference people notice is in skin quality: smoother texture and a glow that comes from hydration within the skin rather than from a product sitting on top of it.
This is a skin quality treatment, so the change is in how your skin looks and behaves rather than in your facial proportions.
About an hour, most of which is numbing and preparation. The injections themselves are a series of very small microdroplets across the cheeks. You may have small raised bumps at the injection points and occasionally light bruising, both of which settle within a day or two. Mandy goes through the aftercare with you and checks in while your skin settles.
SKINVIVE tends to appeal to people whose complaint is about skin quality rather than facial structure, and to people who want something injectable without looking any different.
Generally around six months, after which it can be repeated. As with everything here, Mandy will give you a realistic expectation for your own skin rather than a marketing figure, and will say honestly if she thinks a resurfacing treatment would serve you better first.
Questions
SKINVIVE is $375 per syringe at AIR Aesthetics, with an appointment of about 60 minutes. You will know the exact cost before anything begins.
Not in the usual sense. It is made by JUVÉDERM and it is injectable hyaluronic acid, but it is placed in microdroplets just under the skin to improve smoothness and hydration rather than to add volume or change your shape.
Generally around six months, after which the treatment can be repeated. How long it holds varies with your skin and your metabolism.
It builds over a couple of weeks rather than appearing immediately, so if you are planning around an event, book with time to spare. Mandy will help you work backwards from the date.
Minimal. Small raised bumps at the injection points are normal and usually settle within a day, and light bruising is possible. Most clients are comfortable in public the following day.
Yes, and it often is. Microneedling and BioRePeel work on the skin surface while SKINVIVE hydrates from underneath, so they complement rather than duplicate each other. Mandy will sequence them sensibly rather than doing everything at once.
