Luxury Medspa, Evidence-Based Results
Every treatment we introduce at Forever Ageless must pass Dr. Joe Cerni’s exacting standards for scientific validation, safety, and natural-looking outcomes. He has honed these standards as a board-certified physician, national top-five Allergan injector, and published researcher-speaker in regenerative aesthetics*. SKINVIVE meets those benchmarks perfectly and aligns with our subtle, results-driven rejuvenation philosophy.

What Is SKINVIVE?
SKINVIVE is the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic-acid microdroplet injectable created to refine cheek texture and restore radiance for adults 21+.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring sugar found throughout your skin’s extracellular matrix; each HA molecule acts as a microscopic sponge, drawing in and holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water to keep tissues supple and luminous.
As we age, intrinsic decline and UV exposure deplete native HA, leading to:
- Dryness
- Fine lines
- Dullness
SKINVIVE replenishes this moisture reservoir by depositing ultra-tiny HA droplets directly within the dermis, where they attract and lock in hydration for months. They function like a deep, injectable moisturizer that replenishes without adding volume while cushioning collagen and elastin.
SKINVIVE Benefits
- The FDA’s pre-market approval studies show noticeably smoother, more radiant skin
- Sessions take just 15 to 30 minutes, with built-in lidocaine for a comfortably quick refresh
- Minimal downtime
- Proven safe and effective across every Fitzpatrick skin tone
Am I a Good Candidate?
You’re likely ideal if you’re 21 or older and notice:
- Dullness
- Fine lines on your cheeks
- Rough texture
However, you should not have SKINVIVE if you:
- Have severe allergies
- Are sensitive to lidocaine or Gram-positive proteins
- Have active skin infections at the injection site
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding

Dr Joe is the best for BOTOX and fillers! I drive an hour each way just to go to him, but it’s worth it as he is very honest and conservative for a natural look.
What Does a SKINVIVE Session Cost?
Most guests invest $650 – $750 for two syringes, the amount used in SKINVIVE clinical trials. Allē points plus flexible Cherry Payment Plans make luminous skin beautifully attainable, and all costs will be discussed during your consultation
Procedure, Recovery, and Results
To begin, we’ll apply a light topical anesthetic to enhance the built-in lidocaine. Next, Dr. Cerni places tiny HA droplets in a strategic pattern across each cheek. After just 15 to 30 minutes, you're all set, meaning you can head back to work or brunch right away.
Here’s what you can expect in terms of recovery and results:
- Day 1: Mild redness or pinpoint bumps fade within 24 hours; avoid heat, alcohol, and strenuous exercise.
- Weeks 1–4: Hydration deepens; skin feels silkier and appears more luminous.
- Month 1: Optional touch-up for pinnacle perfection—73 % of study participants chose this.
- Months 2–6: Enjoy smooth, glowing cheeks; schedule your next visit around month 6 to maintain the magic.

Smooth Dynamic Lines
- Pair SKINVIVE with BOTOX®, DAXXIFY®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, or Jeuveau®
- Neuromodulators relax expressive muscles while SKINVIVE infuses the dermis with hydrating microdroplets—erasing motion lines and revealing a glass-like finish
Restore Youthful Volume

- Structural support returns where you need it, and SKINVIVE’s deep hydration keeps contours plush, never puffy

- Energy-based devices clear discoloration while hydra-dermabrasion feeds antioxidants, and SKINVIVE seals in deep hydration for an ethereal glow
Refine Texture & Scars

- SKINVIVE follows to smooth the dermal layer so formerly rough skin feels velvet-soft
Skinvive FAQs
How should I prepare for my SKINVIVE appointment?
Avoid alcohol, high-dose vitamin E, fish-oil supplements, and over-the-counter blood thinners (like aspirin, ibuprofen) for one week unless prescribed; these can increase bruising. Arrive with clean skin free of makeup or heavy skincare.
Can I keep using retinoids, glycolic acid, or benzoyl peroxide?
Yes—resume topical actives 48 hours post-procedure to avoid extra irritation while micro-injection sites seal.
Is SKINVIVE vegan and cruelty-free?
Hyaluronic acid is produced through the bio-fermentation of bacteria, not animal derivatives, and Allergan does not test SKINVIVE on animals for cosmetic indications in the U.S.
Can smokers receive SKINVIVE, and will smoking affect results?
You can still be treated, but nicotine constricts blood vessels and accelerates HA breakdown, so your glow may fade sooner; we’ll discuss strategies to maximize longevity.
Can SKINVIVE be dissolved if I change my mind?
Yes—because it’s hyaluronic acid, an enzyme called hyaluronidase can break it down, though reversal is rarely requested due to its non-volumizing nature.
Will I feel lumps or bumps under my skin?
Microdroplets are so small that they integrate seamlessly; any minor unevenness usually smooths out within 24–48 hours with gentle massage directed by Dr. Cerni.
Can SKINVIVE migrate outside the treatment area?
Thanks to its low-viscosity formula and superficial placement, migration risk is exceptionally low; precise mapping keeps the product where it belongs.
What if I stop after one treatment—will my skin look worse?
No. Your cheeks will gradually return to their pre-treatment state as HA levels normalize; skipping maintenance simply means your glow winds down rather than rebounds negatively.
Is it safe to travel or fly the same day?
Absolutely. Cabin pressure changes don’t affect SKINVIVE; just remember to hydrate well and keep your post-treatment after-care (no heavy exercise, saunas, or alcohol for 24 hours) in mind.
