SKINVIVE by Juvéderm at The Bengtson Center
With cutting-edge aesthetic procedures and the expertise of Dr's Brad Bengtson and David Alfonso. The Bengtson Center is your prime location to receive anti-aging and skin rejuvenation treatments. This includes the exclusively distributed SKINVIVE in Grand Rapids, MI, at our luxurious office, where we are proud to be one of the first practices in the area to offer this outstanding skin solution.
SKINVIVE is a groundbreaking advancement in cosmetic injectables and the very first of its kind FDA-approved hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable gel. Unlike any other treatment, SKINVIVE revolutionizes facial enhancement with its distinctive formulation, delivering seamless and uniform cheek smoothing while infusing your skin with essential moisture, creating a noticeable radiance. This remarkable innovation ensures a safe and effective skin rejuvenation experience for all skin types, requiring minimal downtime and no surgery.
SKINVIVE is the first-of-its-kind skin boosting injectable. It uses hyaluronic acid, known for its super moisturizing abilities, and delivers it in tiny droplets right under your cheek skin. Other HA fillers typically work by physically adding volume to different areas of the face. The result? A smoother complexion and a radiant glow that can last for up to half a year when you get the full treatment. This treatment is also compatible with all skin types and offers minimal downtime. These advantages make it a great choice for those seeking rejuvenation and a safe, accessible treatment.
This innovative non-surgical procedure can achieve remarkable results, invigorating your skin and boosting your self-confidence. See what SKINVIVE can do for you:
SKINVIVE candidates are usually looking to improve their skin texture and address bumpiness or unevenness on the cheeks. This treatment is FDA-approved for individuals over 21 years old. If you have an allergy or sensitivity to lidocaine, you should avoid this treatment. If you'd like to find out if you're a good candidate for SKINVIVE Grand Rapids injectables experts at The Bengtson Center can address that and any other questions you have during an initial consultation. Call us today!
During your consultation, we will take the time to get to know you and your unique aesthetic goals. Our goal is to create a completely personalized treatment plan so that you feel comfortable and confident in your care with us. Prior to treatment, we will advise you to stop taking any blood-thinning medications, including over-the-counter medications, and we may also recommend pausing certain supplements to reduce the chance of bruising.
Our expert injectors, under the supervision of Dr. Bengtson and Dr. Alfonso, will ensure that your SKINVIVE treatment is performed precisely and provides optimal results that address your concerns. First, your skin will be cleansed, and topical numbing cream may be applied. Then, your provider will use medical-grade needles to inject the SKINVIVE solution, which also contains lidocaine for maximum comfort.
This treatment does not require any downtime or recovery period, but some patients may experience mild bruising, swelling, or irritation near the injection site. Regular daily activities can be resumed immediately, but we do recommend sleeping on your back with your head slightly elevated for one to two days. The best results are usually visible after about one month and last from six to nine months.
Our stellar team of doctors, expert injectors, and aestheticians at The Bengtson Center are all highly qualified and passionate about providing the most outstanding and natural-looking aesthetic results along with compassionate patient care. Our philosophy is always that the best cosmetic procedures are the ones that you can't tell happened.
