What is SKINVIVE?
Get healthy, hydrated, glowing skin from within! SKINVIVE is the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) microdroplet injectable within the US designed to improve skin quality and smoothness of the cheeks. This treatment is often referred to as a ‘skin booster’ rather than a dermal filler as it adds hydration vs. adding volume or definition.
SKINVIVE will ultimately leave your skin looking hydrated and more radiant!
Who is an ideal candidate?
SKINVIVE is intended for patients looking to combat dullness, enhance overall skin quality or just replenish skin hydration. This treatment pairs perfectly with our Hydrafacials/Facials, BBL/Moxi, Microneedling or Injectables/Dermal Fillers services and can be performed on the same day allowing us to simultaneously target a variety of skin concerns in the same visit!
What does the treatment entail and is there downtime?
Our medical providers will conduct a personalized assessment to determine if SKINVIVE is right for their patient. Following this, our providers will first apply a topical lidocaine cream to the treatment area and allow that sit for about 15-20 minutes. Once the area is numb, the provider will then inject the product superficially into the cheeks in a grid-like pattern. The treatment itself typically takes 30 minutes.
One of the greatest benefits of this treatment is that there is little to no downtime! Patients can expect to experience mild swelling and/or bruising and should refrain from heavy exercise, makeup application, or prolonged sun exposure 24 hours following their treatment.
When can I expect to see results and how long will they last?
It is important to recognize that this treatment is not a dermal filler and will not add volume to the face. In clinical studies, patients who were treated with SKINVIVE reported high satisfaction with how glowing, hydrated, refreshed, and healthy their skin looked through 6 months. Patients can expect to see a slight ‘plumping’ effect following their treatment however full results can take up to 4 weeks to see. Some patients may also require multiple treatments based on overall severity and their goals – this will be determined by their medical provider.
What is the cost of this treatment?
$700/per area.

Thank you for providing such a thorough overview of the SKINVIVE treatment process! It’s impressive to see the personalized approach with the topical lidocaine cream and the grid-like injection pattern. The fact that the procedure takes only 30 minutes is definitely appealing for those with busy schedules.
I’m particularly intrigued by the minimal downtime aspect. The idea of mild swelling and bruising being the primary aftereffects, and the ability to resume regular activities after 24 hours, is quite reassuring. It’s great that you’ve highlighted the importance of avoiding heavy exercise, makeup, and prolonged sun exposure during this period.
The emphasis on realistic expectations regarding the ‘plumping’ effect and the acknowledgment that SKINVIVE doesn’t function as a dermal filler is appreciated. The reported satisfaction with glowing, hydrated skin lasting up to 6 months is compelling.
The mention of potential multiple treatments based on severity and individual goals adds transparency, allowing patients to have a clearer understanding of the process. Overall, it sounds like a promising and convenient option for those seeking a refreshed and healthy appearance. Looking forward to learning more about the long-term results!
