What Is SkinVive?

SkinVive by Juvederm is an injectable skin booster from Allergan. It's a smooth hyaluronic acid gel with a little lidocaine for comfort, placed as tiny microdroplets just under the surface of your skin. Hyaluronic acid holds onto water, so it hydrates your skin from within.

In 2023, SkinVive became the first hyaluronic acid microdroplet injection approved by the FDA to improve skin smoothness of the cheeks in adults over 21. It doesn't add volume or lift; it improves the quality of your skin.

What Does SkinVive Do?

SkinVive is for people who like the shape of their face but want better-looking skin. Clients use it for:

  • Smoother skin: softens rough texture and fine, crepey lines on the cheeks

  • Deep hydration: skin looks plumper and more supple from within

  • Natural glow: light reflects off smoother skin, so you look healthier and more rested

  • No change to your features: nothing looks filled or done

If you're looking to restore lost volume, see Sculptra or dermal filler instead.

SkinVive vs. Filler vs. Facials

SkinVive

Improves the skin itself with hydrating microdroplets. Lasts about 6 months from a single treatment.

Dermal Filler

Adds volume and shape to specific areas like the lips, cheeks, and jawline. Lasts about 6 to 18 months.

HydraFacial and DiamondGlow

Cleanse, exfoliate, and infuse serums on the surface for a glow that lasts days to weeks. Best done monthly.

They work well together. A popular combination is SkinVive with a DiamondGlow facial, and SkinVive can be added to any Botox or filler appointment.

What to Expect at Your SkinVive Appointment

Your visit starts with a quick conversation about your skin and your goals. Your skin is cleansed, numbing cream can be applied, and your injector places a series of tiny injections across your cheeks. The gel itself contains lidocaine, so most clients feel quick pinches more than pain.

You'll see small bumps at the injection points at first. They usually settle within a day or two, along with any redness or swelling, so most clients head right back to their day. Your skin keeps improving over the next few weeks, with the best results at about 2 to 4 weeks.

SkinVive Aftercare

  • Don't massage or rub the area unless your injector tells you to

  • Swelling and bruising are normal and usually fade within a week

  • Avoid anti-inflammatories like Advil and Aleve; Tylenol is fine

  • Call us right away if you notice significant pain, skin color changes near the area, vision changes, fever, or chills

SkinVive FAQs

How much does SkinVive cost in Huntington?

SkinVive is $360 per syringe for Beauty Bank members and $400 for non-members. Your injector will tell you how many syringes you need at your visit. New patients get 10% off their first visit.

How long does SkinVive last?

Results last about 6 months. Some clients come back for an optional touch-up about a month after their first treatment, then plan on a treatment about every 6 months.

When will I see results from SkinVive?

Many clients notice smoother, more hydrated-looking skin within a couple of weeks, with the best results at about 2 to 4 weeks.

Is SkinVive the same as filler?

No. SkinVive is a hyaluronic acid injectable, but it's placed as tiny droplets just under the skin to improve smoothness and hydration. It doesn't add volume or change the shape of your face the way filler does.

Is there downtime after SkinVive?

Very little. Small bumps, redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection points are common and usually fade within a few days to a week. Most clients go right back to their day.

Does SkinVive hurt?

SkinVive contains lidocaine, a numbing medicine, and we can use numbing cream too. Most clients feel a series of quick pinches.

Who is a good candidate for SkinVive?

SkinVive is FDA-approved for adults over 21 who want smoother cheek skin. It's a great fit if your skin looks dull, dry, or crepey but you don't need added volume.

Can I combine SkinVive with other treatments?

Yes. SkinVive pairs well with Botox, dermal filler, and our DiamondGlow facial. When you book more than one treatment, we do facials first and injectables last.
