What Is SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM®?
SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is the first hyaluronic acid-based microdroplet injection FDA approved to improve the texture and hydration of your skin. Unlike other cosmetic injectable treatments, this product is not used to restore volume loss or contour the face. Instead, it is designed to hydrate and smooth skin from the inside out. Rest assured, this innovative treatment is both safe and effective, offering rejuvenating hydration for your face, neck, hands, and decollete.
General information
What Are the Benefits?
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule found naturally in the human body. It can retain nearly 1,000 times its weight in water and is vital for keeping your skin hydrated and your eyes, joints, and other tissues lubricated.
As you age, hyaluronic acid decreases, causing your skin to feel more dehydrated and look dull, unevenly textured, and less elastic. This injectable can change all of that, replenishing hydration and offering benefits including:
- Stimulating collagen production to help decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Minimizing skin imperfections like uneven skin tone and rough patches, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin
- Increasing skin's elasticity and reducing sagging through improved hydration and collagen-boosting
- Providing lasting hydration to help keep skin supple and youthful, free of tightness and flaking
- Supporting skin's barrier function to stave off environmental damage
This injectable is also versatile, offering rejuvenating hydration for your face, neck, hands, and decollete.

How Are Injections Performed?
How Are the Injections Performed?
The injections use an intradermal approach, meaning that they are placed just below the surface of your skin. Microdroplets are strategically injected under the epidermis in a grid across the treatment area, where they diffuse under your skin, attracting water and boosting hydration.
The procedure takes about 15 minutes, and as with other injectable treatments, a topical numbing cream is used to ensure your comfort.
Risks & Complications
Are There Any Risks or Complications?
As with any injectable treatment, this injectable does come with the risk of complications, though they are generally minor. Some side effects may include:
- Swelling, itchiness, or redness at the injection site
- Minor bruising or tenderness
- Firmness, lumps, or bumps
- Allergic reaction
If you do experience side effects, they typically resolve on their own within a week or two.
Downtime
Is There Downtime After Treatment?
Like many injectable treatments, one of the advantages is that it doesn't require any downtime. Once your treatment is complete, you can go about your day with no restrictions.
Results
When Will I See My Results?
You can expect to see a noticeable improvement in your skin’s appearance immediately after treatment. As the hyaluronic acid continues to work its magic, you'll see even more significant improvements. Your full results, including smoother, more hydrated skin with reduced fine lines and wrinkles, will develop within one to two weeks of your treatment.
The radiant results of your treatment typically last up to six months.
