Residual bruising after SkinVive

User Avatar
janegoodloveMar 1, 2024
I had Restylane Eyelight in October, but still had significant darkness/hollowing under my eyes. In December, SkinVive was suggested in this area in lieu of additional filler to avoid Tyndall Effect. I bruised pretty badly, which I usually do after filler. But it’s been 3 months now, and the bruising is still evident. It’s faded quite a bit, sort of a light brown, and the skin in those areas is crepey. I’m wondering if there is something more I can do to help resolve this.

Nice posted post injection upper lip photo. Use of HA type fillers 'off label' though very common must be pre injection discussed... The Skin Vive will not change the appearance much since it is a skin stimulator NOT a filler. Expect it to dissolve with in few weeks. Best to ask why this was used.

Hello there Fab, There are many "fabulous" lip fillers for you, Fabulous! SkinVive is intended to be injected in micro-droplets for skin hydration. It is not intended for lips. It sounds that it was improperly injected and resulted in bumps. You have beautiful lips. I would inject your...

Your own natural hyaluronic acid will also be affected to a certain extent. However, these will recover very quickly in 2 to 4 weeks. Your case likely involves much deeper HA placement as opposed to intradermal injections.
