What Is SKINVIVE?
A revolutionary new product from the makers of the JUVÉDERM family of dermal fillers, SKINVIVE is an injectable solution formulated with hyaluronic acid (HA) to lift and fill out sunken cheeks while hydrating and nourishing your skin at the same time. At Iteld Plastic Surgery, we're proud to offer SKINVIVE as a minimally invasive injectable treatment for patients who are looking for long-lasting facial rejuvenation. If you're interested in the benefits of injectable dermal fillers and would like to know more about what sets SKINVIVE apart, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Lawrence Iteld and the friendly team at our office in Chicago, IL.
How Does SKINVIVE Work?
Following your consultation with one of our team members, we'll start your SKINVIVE treatment by cleaning your face and marking the injection sites while you relax in one of our private treatment rooms. Unlike some other dermal fillers, SKINVIVE is injected in very small amounts spaced less than half an inch apart over the treatment area. Once it's been injected, the formula's "microdroplets" will spread around under your skin, softening and moisturizing the tissues for a healthier, more radiant complexion. You can expect minor redness or swelling for a few days after your SKINVIVE treatment, but these side effects should pass. As the formula continues to provide nourishment over time, you should begin to see noticeable improvements in your skin's health and appearance.
What Are the Benefits of SKINVIVE?
Sometimes referred to as a "skin enhancer" rather than a dermal filler, SKINVIVE differs from other injectable treatments by hydrating the skin instead of simply adding volume. Some of the other benefits of SKINVIVE injections at Iteld Plastic Surgery are:
- Enhances your skin's health, producing a more radiant look that can last up to six months
- Improves the skin's texture by providing hydration and vital nourishment
- Formula features lidocaine for improved comfort
- Treatments are fast, convenient, and appropriate for all skin types
SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® Reviews
I had the most positive experience with Dr Iteld. He was thoughtful and thorough and I trusted him 100% with my surgery. It turned out even better than I imagined. His meticulous attention to detail is top notch, and his pain-free, non-narcotic recovery regimen is INCREDIBLE. I would recommend anyone to Dr Iteld’s practice for cosmetic surgery, and would also recommend Kimmy, their nurse aesthetician, for facial balancing. Such an awesome experience all around.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What areas can be treated?
SkinVive is FDA-approved for the cheeks but may also be used in other fine-textured areas
depending on patient needs and clinical judgment. At Iteld Plastic Surgery, treatment plans are
customized based on your skin quality and aesthetic goals.
Who is a good candidate?
SkinVive is ideal for anyone who wants smoother, healthier-looking skin; improved hydration
and texture; and a subtle, natural glow without added volume. It works well for all skin tones and
is often a great option for first-time injectable patients or those seeking a refreshed look without
a major change.
What does the treatment feel like?
Most patients find the procedure very tolerable. SkinVive contains lidocaine (a local anesthetic),
and our team uses comfort techniques to keep you relaxed throughout your appointment.
How long does the appointment take?
Expect your full visit takes less than one hour, including consultation, preparation, and
injections.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or pinpoint bruising at
injection sites—typically resolving within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities
immediately.
When will I see results?
Results are gradual, not instant. Most patients begin noticing smoother, more hydrated-looking
skin within 1–2 weeks, with optimal results visible around four weeks. SkinVive enhances your
skin quality rather than altering your features. You’ll look like yourself, just more refreshed,
hydrated, and luminous.
How long do results last?
Clinical studies show that the benefits of SkinVive can last up to six months, depending on
lifestyle, skin type, and metabolism. Maintenance treatments can help sustain your results.
Can SkinVive be combined with other treatments?
Definitely. SkinVive pairs well with neurotoxins (like Botox® or Daxxify™), traditional dermal
fillers, as well as microneedling and laser treatments. And remember your skincare designed for
hydration and collagen support, especially custom-designed Universkin. During your
consultation, our team will recommend a personalized ptreatment plan.p
