Skinvive

Hydration is essential for maintaining youthful, healthy skin. While drinking plenty of water, getting adequate sleep, protecting your skin from the sun, and following a dedicated skincare routine are important, there’s a way to achieve longer-lasting hydration. When we think of moisturising our skin, we often reach for creams and lotions, which primarily offer surface-level hydration.

What are skinvive skin boosters?

SKINVIVE™ by Juvederm® is FDA-approved to enhance and hydrate the skin on your cheeks, giving you a radiant “just got a facial” glow—all in one visit. While SKINVIVE™ may look like dermal fillers, it operates in a distinctly different manner. Think of it as an injectable moisturiser that hydrates your skin from inside out.

These injectable gels utilise VYCROSS Technology and come in various specialised formulations to address different aesthetic skin concerns. Acting as a collagen skin booster, they enhance hydration, smoothness, elasticity, and overall skin quality from within. Remarkably, a single treatment with these micro-injections can provide results that last up to 6 months.

How does it work?

This modified hyaluronic acid has a water-like consistency and is injected superficially into the upper layers of the dermis using an intradermal microdroplet technique. Once injected, it spreads throughout the skin, attracting moisture to enhance cheek smoothness and overall skin quality.

How does SKINVIVE™ differ from other skinboosters?

While SKINVIVE™ is injected like traditional hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, it differs significantly in purpose. Fillers like JUVEDERM® and Restylane® restore lost volume to facial contours and plump wrinkles, providing immediate results that last 9 to 12 months. In contrast, SKINVIVE™ focuses on improving skin quality and hydration without adding volume, although it may provide a subtle plumping effect. Using a unique HA microdroplet formulation and a superficial injection technique, SKINVIVE™ is specifically designed for the cheeks, with results lasting around six months, depending on individual factors.

Many patients choose to combine dermal fillers with SKINVIVE™ for synergistic effects to rejuvenate ageing skin, effectively restoring both volume and hydration.

WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO DO SKINVIVE?

  • Optimal skin hydration because of the skin’s increased ability to retain moisture.
  • Achieve radiant, healthy glow due to increase in skin hydration and smoothing effect.
  • Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
  • Subtle, natural results in enhancing one’s skin quality 
  • Improvement in skin texture and elasticity

The procedure typically takes 20-30 minutes. As it is minimally invasive, patients can resume all normal daily activities right after their treatment.

Results from SKINVIVE™ treatment generally last between 6 to 9 months, varying based on individual skin type, age, and lifestyle. To maintain optimal results, repeat treatments are recommended every 6 to 12 months.



Face: Enhances overall skin texture, hydration, and radiance.
Neck and Décolletage: Smooths and rejuvenates skin in sun-damaged areas.
Hands: Hydrates and minimises signs of ageing.

Initial improvements in skin hydration and smoothness may be noticeable within one to two weeks, with full results appearing after two to four weeks as the hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the skin and enhances its texture.

This treatment is ideal for adults of all ages and skin types seeking hydrated skin with enhanced elasticity and a youthful appearance. It is particularly beneficial for those experiencing early signs of aging or those looking to maintain their skin’s youthful qualities.

For immediate aftercare, patients should avoid touching the treatment area, wearing makeup, and engaging in strenuous activities or heat exposure for 24-48 hours to minimize swelling or bruising. Common side effects like mild redness and swelling usually resolve within a few days, but patients should contact their doctor if they notice signs of infection or prolonged swelling.
