What is Skinvive®?
SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® is the first and only FDA approved microdroplet injection. It helps the skin retain its natural moisture and softness leading to an improvement in the skin smoothness of the cheeks.
In clinical studies, patients who were treated with SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® also reported high satisfaction with how glowing, hydrated, refreshed, and healthy their skin looked through 6 months.
How does Skinvive® work?
Hyaluronic acid increases your skin's natural hydrating ability to retain moisture and softness. SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM®, a modified hyaluronic acid gel formula, helps the skin retain its natural moisture and softness leading to an improvement in the skin smoothness, texture and dullness of the cheeks. It upregulates a protein in the skin called Aquaporin-3, which facilitates the flow of water and glycerol into and out of cells. Glycerol plays an important role in hydration of the skin, in providing elasticity, and in facilitating epidermal barrier repair.
Imagine, if you will, your skin as a teenager - fully hydrated, glowing, firm, flawless. With age, we lose the ability to hold onto that hydration resulting in dehydrated, dull, sagging, aged skin. SKINVIVE reawakens the hydration within creating a more youthful appearance.
Where is Skinvive® injected?
SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® is injected directly in the dermis in a pattern across the cheeks. Off-label it can be injected in and around the lips for hydration and to minimize the dreaded lip lines. Around the mouth traditional fillers can often create too much volume and give the appearance of an ape-like look to the upper lip and the perception that the filler somehow "migrated".
There are levels of hydration?
Hydration at the dermal level is essential for keeping the skin plump, elastic, and resilient, but you also need epidermal hydration to maintain the skin’s barrier function, maintain its integrity, and prevent the appearance of dry skin.
SKINVIVE pairs well with other treatments and products that provide hydration such as DiamondGlow dermabrasion with HA⁵® infusion, HA⁵® Hydra Collagen Replenish + Restore Hydrator topically and Juvéderm® hyaluronic acid fillers. Combined they quench your skin's thirst for ultimate hydration.
Skin Booster FAQ's
What other skin boosters are on the market?
SKINVIVE is the first and ONLY skin booster on the US market, in fact we had to create an entirely new category to describe it's unique position in your skin care line up. Since it's launch in 2023, patients have described it as
"an IV for my skin"
"injectable moisturizer"
"hydration therapy"
"skin refresher"
"glow getter"
So it's not a filler?
Nope, it is created by Allergan, the makers of Juvéderm® but it is definitely not a filler. While both Skinvive and fillers may contain hyaluronic acid, the formulation and concentration may differ. It is typically a more diluted solution, optimized for skin hydration rather than volume enhancement.
Do the injections hurt?
We use 32g small needles and SKINVIVE also contains Lidocaine, so the area will become numb even after the first injection. We also make the procedure more comfortable by using ice prior to injection, a distracting skin vibrator, a little of your favorite music playing to keep your mind occupied. Most importantly, we do not rush our injections and are very delicate in handling your face, this makes the biggest difference.
Are there any side effects?
Mild bruising, tenderness and swelling can be reported. To minimize bruising, avoid alcohol 2 days before and stop any unnecessary blood thinners like Vit E, St John's wart, Omega 3, aspirin and anti-inflammatories. Initial lumps and bumps can also be common right after treatment and typically resolve without an issue.
What does Skinvive® cost?
Pricing starts at $500 for lips and around the mouth and up to $1200 for full face. Save more with our Glow-Tox package that pairs SKINVIVE with botox and SkinMedica Lumivive.

When will I see the results of my treatment?
Most patients notice significant enhancements in skin texture, hydration, and overall appearance within 2-3 weeks. A common phenomenon is that friends and family often notice the improvement first, complimenting the patient on their glowing skin and inquiring about their skincare routine. This subtle yet noticeable transformation is a testament to the product's effectiveness.
How long does Skinvive® last?
With optimal treatment glowing healthy skin can be seen for up to 6 months.
