SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is made of modified hyaluronic acid, a molecule that naturally occurs in your skin. SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® microdroplet injections replenish your cheeks with hyaluronic acid to hydrate from within. SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is designed to help the skin retain its natural moisture and softness leading to an improvement in the skin smoothness of the cheeks.

Since SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is hyaluronic acid, it is technically a filler. However, the modified hyaluronic acid in SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is designed to improve cheek smoothness and hydrate from within for smooth texture and a radiant glow—without changing your face shape or volume. 

Treatment with SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® has minimal downtime, especially compared with other skin quality treatment recovery times that can stretch up to 2 weeks.

SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® takes, on average, about 15 minutes to inject. This does not include consultation and evaluation time.

The results of SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® are clinically proven to last up to 6 months with optimal treatment. An optional touch up may be needed to achieve the desired aesthetic effect, so we recommend seeing your licensed specialist every 6 months to see if you should get treated.

SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® was studied in people with all shades of skin. 

You may have seen hyaluronic acid as an ingredient in moisturizing creams or serums. In SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM®, hyaluronic acid attracts water within your skin to keep your cheeks hydrated and smooth looking.

People in the SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® clinical study experienced cheek skin smoothness lasting consistently through 6 months and reported high satisfaction with how glowing, hydrated, refreshed, and healthy their skin looked through 6 months.
