Noticing visible signs of aging in the form of facial skin sagging, wrinkles, or dry skin? Obtain a glowing, refreshed complexion without an invasive surgery with SKINVIVE™ by Juvéderm at Asaadi Plastic Surgery.
SKINVIVE™ by Juvéderm is the first FDA approved hyaluronic acid injectable used to increase hydration, improving skin smoothness. This cosmetic injectable is suitable for all skin tones and types and works below the surface level to achieve healthier skin. SKINVIVE™ is ideal for patients looking to restore hydration and improve their skin tone and texture.
How Does SKINVIVE™ Work?
The injections are inserted into the skin using small droplet injections under the outer layer of the skin. SKINVIVE™ filler immediately diffuses in an even, thin layer, instantly increasing moisturization and improving skin. The micro droplets of hyaluronic acid used differentiates SKINVIVE™ from other cosmetic treatments as it works to increase hydration just below the skin’s surface. SKINVIVE™ also contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic that numbs the skin, making SKINVIVE™ a comfortable and painless procedure for patients. The SKINVIVE™ treatment typically takes 15 minutes for injections but can vary for each individual patient.
Benefits Of SKINVIVE™
SKINVIVE™ may be right for you if you are looking for a rejuvenating, minimally invasive cosmetic treatment. The main benefits of SKINVIVE™ are improved skin texture and enhanced hydration. SKINVIVE™ reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and targets acne scars and rough skin. The hyaluronic acid draws in moisture from surrounding areas to restore hydration to the skin. For patients experiencing flakiness or tightness due to dry skin, SKINVIVE™ can provide significant relief. SKINVIVE™ also promotes collagen production, improving skin elasticity. The benefits of SKINVIVE™ last up to 12 months.

As we age, new skin concerns are completely normal as our skin starts to lose collagen and elasticity. If you are experiencing skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, cellulite and more, Morpheus8 for face and body can be the rejuvenating skin solution for you.
Morpheus8 is an FDA approved treatment that utilizes the latest technological advancements in microneedling and radio frequency. Morpheus8 uses microneedling to penetrate skin by creating micro-lesions that absorb the heat from the radiofrequency. This minimally invasive procedure can achieve skin tightening results in just one treatment. The procedure can be completed in as little as an hour. Morpheus8 can be combined with other procedures to provide complementary results.
At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer Morpheus8 for face and Morpheus8 for body. Since Morpheus8 uses microneedling and radiofrequency, it initiates a natural healing response that promotes both collagen and elastin production in the skin. These two proteins are important for the skin as they promote strength and elasticity.
Morpheus8 Face
Morpheus8 for the face can treat common cosmetic concerns including nasolabial folds, fine lines, loss of facial volume, hyperpigmentation, scars, and more. This facial treatment is safe on all skin types and can be used on delicate areas of the face. Morpheus8 is ideal for patients seeking a rejuvenated facial profile without undergoing surgery. The treatment can lift and tighten sagging skin and jowls, soften fine lines and wrinkles, and combat acne and acne scarring, instantly restoring a youthful facial profile.
Morpheus8 Body
Morpheus8 for the body targets and treats a wide variety of problem areas on the body. It can effectively address cellulite, stretch marks, scarring, loose skin and skin texture. Morpheus8 can also target small pockets of fat on the body while tightening skin, leaving patients with a firm, tone figure. The treatment is highly customizable to improve body contouring without invasive surgery. Morpheus8 can be used on the abdomen, buttocks, upper arms, thighs and more.
What To Expect When Undergoing Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 treatments are performed in-office and do not require general anesthesia. Instead, patients will receive a topical numbing agent to minimize any discomfort. Morpheus8 is completed in small sections to achieve precise targeting and prioritize patient comfort.
What To Expect After Morpheus8?
Patients can occasionally experience irritated skin directly after the procedure. Patients should avoid sun exposure and apply a high SPF while keeping the skin free of any products. The treatment area should be kept clean and dry for a few days after the procedure. While patients sometimes see results a few days after Morpheus8, it may take a few weeks to notice full results as collagen production continues to increase. The skin tightening effects from Morpheus8 can be seen for up to 3 months after the procedure.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff are available to answer any questions or discuss Morpheus8 with you. Please contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000 to schedule a consultation or request an appointment online today!

New season, new skin! Refresh your skin this spring and start the season off with your best face forward. Dr. Asaadi and his team can perform non-invasive treatments and utilize cosmetic fillers to help you achieve a rejuvenated and revitalized glow without undergoing any invasive surgeries or procedures.
Cosmetic Fillers
Cosmetic fillers can provide patients with a younger-looking appearance by combatting wrinkles, fine lines, and creases, adding volume to the facial profile. Cosmetic fillers are injected beneath the skin to add volume to areas of the face that may have become sunken or hollowed with age. Certain fillers are utilized to reshape the lips or cheeks, for a fuller, more plump appearance.
Learn more about our cosmetic fillers below!
Juvéderm®: a dermal filler that can provide natural-looking, fuller facial features to reduce the appearance of aging. Juvéderm® can treat wrinkles, facial folds, fine lines, marionette lines, nasolabial folds, furrowed brows, thinning lips, hollowed cheeks, and crow’s feet.
Belotero®: a non-invasive wrinkle treatment that can provide more natural, subtle results. Belotero® can help restore a younger-looking appearance by softening and lightening folds, facial lines, and creases, while volumizing hollowed under eyes.
Voluma®: a cosmetic injectable that lifts and shapes the cheeks. Voluma® is injected into the deepest layers of the skin and muscle to combat a loss of volume due to aging, and contour hollowed cheeks. Voluma® is a long-lasting solution for enhancing your facial profile.
Volbella®: a soft, gel consistency cosmetic injectable designed to add volume to the lips and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Volbella® can redefine and reshape the lips for a more youthful look. Volbella® can treat fine lines, wrinkles, and folds created from the repeated movements from smiling, frowning, or laughing over time.
Non-Invasive Treatments
Non-invasive treatments are non-surgical procedures that are designed to rejuvenate and refresh your appearance without undergoing lengthy surgeries. These treatment options are smaller procedures that can provide natural-looking results and achieve an enhanced overall appearance without extensive downtime.
Microneedling with PRP: a skin care treatment that can stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin to improve skin tone and maintain a healthy, glowing complexion. Microneedling with PRP (platelet rich plasma) mainly targets the face, neck, and arms and can provide long-lasting, regenerative results.

How Does SKINVIVE™ Work?
SKINVIVE™ is injected just below the surface of the skin, targeting specific areas of facial tissue. SKINVIVE™ is a minimally-invasive procedure due to the treatment being administered below, but very close to the skin’s surface. This technique allows for SKINVIVE™ to target larger treatment areas. Following the injection, water can easily flow between the skin cells, encouraging increased hydration and smoothing effects. During your SKINVIVE™ treatment, patients can expect little-to-no pain as numbing with a topical anesthetic is administered prior to your SKINVIVE™ injection. Following your SKINVIVE™ injection, redness, bruising, and swelling may occur around the injection site.
