Meet SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® - the first and only hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable indicated to improve cheek skin smoothness. SKINVIVE helps the skin retain its natural moisture and softness leading to an improvement in the skin smoothness of the cheeks, fine lines and give you lasting glow.

What is SKINVIVE?

SKINVIVE is an injectable skin booster that is designed to improve skin hydration, smoothness, and radiance. It contains hyaluronic acid (HA), which helps retain moisture and improve overall skin texture.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume, SKINVIVE is a hydrating microdroplet injection that enhances the skin’s glow without altering facial structure.

What are the key benefits?

  • Works after a single treatment
  • The only HA injectable shown to last 9 months
  • Minimally invasive with little to no downtime
  • Improves patients skin quality over time
  • Delivers healthy looking skin
  • Delivers deep skin hydration
  • Gives patients a lasting hydrated glow
  • Boosts the presence of water regulating AQP32

How does it work?

SKINVIVE hydrafiller treatment involves injecting small microdroplets of HA just under the skin, typically in the cheeks, where it spreads evenly to boost hydration and smooth fine lines. It’s different from traditional HA fillers, which are injected deeper to add volume.

Who should not have hydrafiller?

  • Allergic to hyaluronic acid (HA) or lidocaine
  • Active skin infections, acne breakouts, or cold sores
  • Autoimmune diseases (e.g., lupus, rheumatoid arthritis)
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Blood clotting disorders or use of blood thinners
  • History of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis)

What are the possible side effects?

SKINVIVE is generally well-tolerated, but like any injectable treatment, it does come with potential side effects.

Common Side Effects (Usually mild & temporary)

  • Redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites
  • Tenderness or mild discomfort
  • Small lumps or bumps (usually temporary and resolve on their own)
  • Itching or irritation

Less Common but Possible Side Effects

  • Prolonged swelling or bruising (lasting more than a few days)
  • Asymmetry or uneven texture
  • Allergic reaction
  • Infection

What next?

If it is the first time you are seeing us for appearance medicine treatments, or it has been more than 12 months since your last visit, you are required to book a cosmetic consultation with one of our Appearance Medicine Nurses or Doctors. See more about cosmetic consultations here.

Our Appearance Medicine Nurses & Cosmetic Doctors will guide you through a comprehensive 45-minute cosmetic consultation, to understand your individual needs and desires.
