Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking blood-thinning medications and supplements like aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, and fish oil for at least a week before.
No Alcohol: Avoid alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours before your appointment.
Clean Face: Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup.
Inform Your Provider: Let your provider know if you have a history of cold sores, as they may recommend antiviral medication.
Schedule Wisely: Plan your Skin Vive appointment at least two weeks before any special events to allow time for any potential bruising to subside

Preparation: The treatment area, typically the cheeks, is cleaned and prepped. A topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort.
Injection: Skinvive is injected superficially into the top layers of the skin using a microdroplet technique. This involves multiple small injections (usually 20-25 per cheek) in a grid pattern to ensure even distribution.

Avoid Touching: Avoid significant movement or massage of the treated area unless instructed by your provider.
No Makeup: Do not apply makeup, moisturizer, or any skincare products until the day after treatment.
Avoid Heat: Stay away from intense heat sources like sun exposure, steam baths, and tanning beds for at least two weeks.
Cold Compress: Use a cold compress to reduce swelling and bruising.
Avoid Alcohol and Exercise: Refrain from consuming alcohol and engaging in strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours post-treatment.

Results: The full effects of the treatment can be seen around 30 days after the procedure, with results lasting up to six months
