SkinVive by JUVÉDERM is a modified hyaluronic acid gel that’s injected as intradermal
microdroplets below the surface of the skin, increasing hydration to improve smoothness and
reduce fine lines. SKINVIVE helps the skin retain its natural moisture and softness. We also
love using it for vertical lip lines (“smoker’s lines” or “lipstick lines”) around the mouth. It
hydrates the lines without creating a “ledge.”
Why Patients Choose SkinVive:
It helps skin look healthier, smoother, and more hydrated while preserving natural facial contours.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, SkinVive is injected as tiny microdroplets within the skin to improve skin quality from within. It doesn’t change the shape of your face or create additional volume. Instead, it enhances hydration, refines texture, and gives the skin a refreshed, radiant appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

SkinVive is FDA-approved to:
- Improve skin smoothness of the cheeks

Is SkinVive a Dermal Filler?
SkinVive contains hyaluronic acid, but it works differently than traditional dermal fillers. Rather than adding volume or changing facial contours, it improves hydration and skin smoothness through tiny intradermal microdroplet injections.

Patients commonly choose SkinVive to address:
- Dull-looking skin
- Dehydrated skin

It is ideal for patients who want healthier-looking skin, without adding facial volume.
How long does SkinVive last?

No. SkinVive is designed to improve skin quality, not facial volume. Most patients notice smoother, healthier-looking skin while maintaining their natural facial contours.
Is there any downtime?
Most patients return to normal activities shortly after treatment. Mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or small injection bumps may occur temporarily and typically resolve within a few days.
