Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring humectant, a molecule capable of attracting and retaining up to 1,000 times its weight in water. It plays a vital role in maintaining hydration and lubrication throughout the body, including the skin, eyes, and joints. As we age, hyaluronic acid levels in the skin decline, leading to dryness, loss of suppleness, and a dull appearance.
Skinvive® is the first FDA-approved injectable hyaluronic acid treatment designed specifically to improve skin hydration, radiance, and smoothness of the cheeks. Unlike topical products, Skinvive is delivered directly into the dermis, the second layer of the skin, where it provides deep, lasting hydration from within.
Skinvive is not a traditional dermal filler. The goal is not to add volume or alter facial contours, but rather to enhance overall skin quality, resulting in luminous, dewy, and youthful-looking skin.
After a consultation to assess your skin concerns and aesthetic goals, Skinvive is injected in small, precise amounts using a grid-like pattern across the cheeks. The treatment is performed in-office with minimal discomfort.
You should not expect any change to the shape or contour of your face. Instead, improvements in hydration and skin texture develop gradually in the weeks following treatment, leaving the skin smoother, healthier, and more luminous.
Dr. Leah Spring completed an advanced fellowship in cosmetic dermatology. She has an expert understanding of skin physiology and the nuanced use of injectable treatments, allowing her to deliver safe and natural-looking results.
“Dr. Spring was just fabulous to deal with. She listened intently and had a great personality to boot. I’m almost 82 years old, and my initial visit with her was one of the best experiences I have EVER had with any physician. I feel privileged to have her as my doctor, and I highly recommend her!!!”
“Dr. Spring was amazing. She explained everything thoroughly and respected my concerns.”
“Dr. Spring and her staff were upbeat, attentive, and caring. They saw my anxiety prior to my procedure and took an extra moment to talk through it with me, which made me feel like they care about me as a whole person. I’ve never felt anxious prior to treatment before so this extra step really hit home.”
“Kudos to Dr. Spring. She has the Eye of an Eagle, the Heart of a Lion, yet the Hand of a Woman! Best surgeon ever!”
