SkinVive at Face Medical

Consultation

Your SkinVive treatment at Face Medical begins with a comprehensive, medically led consultation to ensure the procedure is both safe and suitable for you. We use the advanced OBSERV Skin Scanner, a state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging system that reveals the skin’s deeper layers, including hydration deficits, pigmentation, congestion, textural irregularities and early signs of ageing. This technology enables our practitioners to identify underlying issues that influence skin quality, helping us create an optimally tailored SkinVive treatment plan.

During your consultation, we will take a full medical history, review your current skincare habits, and discuss lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, stress and hydration levels. You will also receive a clear and honest explanation of SkinVive, including how the hyaluronic-acid formulation works and what results you can reasonably expect. If alternative treatments or combination therapies may offer enhanced benefits, your practitioner will guide you through all suitable options.

Individual Treatment Programme

At Face Medical Clinic, each SkinVive treatment programme is designed specifically around your skin concerns and goals. SkinVive is administered through a series of precise micro-injections into the superficial dermis, allowing the hyaluronic-acid gel to disperse evenly and boost hydration from within. This technique targets the skin’s surface quality rather than deeper volume loss, making it ideal for those seeking smoother, brighter and more radiant skin.

Your personalised plan will reflect your skin’s hydration levels, textural needs and the findings from your OBSERV scan. Some patients achieve excellent results from a single treatment, while others benefit from a short course for more intensive rejuvenation. To ensure comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, and most procedures take around 20-30 minutes.

Our medically trained practitioners prioritise safety, accuracy and natural-looking results, helping ensure your SkinVive outcome is both subtle and effective.

Aftercare & Further Information

After your SkinVive appointment, our team will provide detailed aftercare advice to support healing and maximise treatment benefits. Temporary redness, swelling or tiny bumps at the injection points are expected and typically settle within 24-48 hours. To promote optimal results, we recommend avoiding vigorous exercise, heat exposure, sunbeds, saunas, active skincare ingredients and alcohol for the first day.

SkinVive results appear gradually as the hyaluronic-acid formulation integrates with the skin, increasing hydration, improving smoothness and enhancing natural luminosity over the following weeks. Most patients enjoy results for approximately 6-9 months, depending on skin health, lifestyle and individual metabolic factors.

If part of a multi-session plan, follow-up appointments are arranged according to your personalised programme. Our practitioners remain available for support and can recommend complementary treatments – such as chemical peels, medical-grade skincare or light-based therapies – for enhanced overall skin rejuvenation.
