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.”
