What Are Injectable Skin Boosters?
Cosmedica Dermatology is excited to offer SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM, an innovative skin booster treatment designed to improve skin quality, specifically in the cheek area. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that focus on augmenting facial volume and contour, SKINVIVE utilizes hyaluronic acid microdroplets to boost skin smoothness, hydration, and radiance while supporting collagen production. Hyaluronic acid is well-known for its powerful moisture-retaining properties, and SKINVIVE leverages this ability to provide a refreshed, glowing appearance that can last up to six months or longer. The treatment also contains a small amount of local anesthetic to enhance patient comfort, and it is FDA-approved for use across all skin types. This injectable skin booster is a minimally invasive procedure, offering an effective solution for those who want to enhance their skin's appearance with little to no downtime.

How Are Skin Booster Injections Performed?
SKINVIVE injections at Cosmedica Dermatology are performed by an experienced injector at our Washington, D.C. facility. The process starts with cleansing the treatment area and marking the targeted locations for precise injections. As a skin booster, SKINVIVE is administered using tiny hyaluronic acid microdroplets injected under the skin at intervals less than a half-inch apart. These hyaluronic acid injections work beneath the skin's surface to enhance hydration, texture, and radiance, particularly in the cheeks, while also promoting collagen production to support long-term skin quality improvement.
The quantity of SKINVIVE used and the number of injections varies, depending on each patient's unique needs. Side effects from SKINVIVE injections are typically mild and may include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These side effects generally resolve within a few days, making this a convenient skin booster treatment for those with busy schedules.
What Should I Expect after Skin Boosters?
After receiving skin booster treatments, you can expect a quick recovery with minimal downtime. Most patients experience mild redness, swelling, or small bumps at the injection sites, which typically subside within a day or two. Some individuals may also notice slight bruising or tenderness, but these effects are temporary and can be easily managed. The skin gradually becomes more hydrated, smoother, and radiant over the following days and weeks as the hyaluronic acid begins to take effect and stimulate collagen production. Results continue to improve with each session, especially when treatments are done in a series. You can return to your normal activities shortly after your appointment, although it's best to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for 24 hours. Your provider will give you tailored aftercare instructions to help optimize your results.

Am I A Candidate for Skin Boosters?
If you're seeking to enhance your skin's hydration, texture, and overall radiance, you may be an ideal candidate for skin booster treatments like SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM, available at Cosmedica Dermatology in Washington, D.C. Skin boosters are minimally invasive injectable treatments that deliver hyaluronic acid microdroplets into the skin, promoting deep hydration and stimulating collagen production. This approach is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing early signs of aging, such as fine lines, dullness, or decreased skin elasticity, and those desiring a natural, refreshed appearance without significant downtime. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume or contour, skin boosters focus on improving skin quality and luminosity. To determine if this treatment aligns with your skin goals, a personalized consultation with our experienced dermatology team is recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my skin look overdone or unnatural after a skin booster?
Not at all. Skin boosters enhance your natural beauty by improving skin quality rather than altering facial structure. The subtle results leave your skin looking fresh, dewy, and naturally radiant.
Do skin boosters hurt?
Discomfort is typically minimal. A topical numbing cream can be applied before the procedure, and many skin booster formulas include a small amount of lidocaine to enhance comfort during injection.
Can I wear makeup after treatment?
It's best to wait at least 12 – 24 hours before applying makeup to allow the skin to heal and reduce the risk of irritation or infection. Once you resume your normal routine, gentle, non-comedogenic products are recommended.
