Overview
SKINVIVE works in the skin, not beneath it — improving quality, hydration, and glow without adding volume or changing your facial structure.
What is SKINVIVE?
JUVÉDERM SKINVIVE™ by Allergan is an FDA-approved intradermal microdroplet hyaluronic acid (HA) treatment. Unlike traditional fillers, SKINVIVE is not designed to add volume or lift — it works by injecting tiny microdroplets of HA directly into the skin itself. This improves the skin's intrinsic hydration, softness, and radiance from within. It is FDA-approved for improving cheek skin smoothness, with results lasting approximately 6 months.
How is it different from fillers?
Traditional fillers are placed beneath the skin to add volume, lift, or structural support. SKINVIVE is placed intradermally — within the skin itself — and has no volumizing effect whatsoever. It focuses entirely on skin quality. This makes it a uniquely complementary treatment: it stacks beautifully with Botox, fillers, and facials, addressing the one thing those treatments cannot — the quality of the skin itself.
Treatment areas
SKINVIVE can address multiple areas focused on skin quality and hydration — not volume or structure.
Cheeks
FDA-approved primary treatment area. SKINVIVE microdroplets improve skin texture, hydration, and radiance in the cheeks with clinically proven results.
Full Face
Can be used across multiple facial zones for overall skin quality improvement, addressing hydration and smoothness throughout the face.
Neck
Improves skin hydration and texture in the neck area, helping to restore a smoother, more luminous appearance to this often-overlooked zone.
Décolletage
Addresses skin quality and hydration concerns on the chest, improving smoothness and radiance in areas prone to sun damage and dryness.
Under Eyes
Subtle improvement in skin quality and hydration around the delicate eye area, helping to reduce crepiness and improve overall skin tone.
Jawline & Lower Face
Enhances skin smoothness and glow in the lower facial zones, improving texture and hydration for a more refined, radiant appearance.
What to expect
SKINVIVE is a quick, low-downtime treatment — here is what your experience looks like at Slynn Wellness.
Consultation
A thorough skin assessment reviews your hydration levels, texture concerns, and candidacy. We discuss treatment area planning and what you can expect from your SKINVIVE results.
Treatment
A series of tiny microdroplet injections are placed intradermally — into the skin itself, not beneath it. Each session takes approximately 15–30 minutes.
Recovery
Small micro-bumps at injection sites are normal and resolve within 1–3 days. Most clients return to daily activities the same day. Skin begins to look more radiant shortly after.
Results
Hydration and smoothness continue to improve over 4 weeks as the HA integrates. Results last approximately 6 months, with touch-up sessions recommended to maintain your glow.

Frequently asked questions

SKINVIVE is an intradermal treatment — the microdroplets of hyaluronic acid are injected into the skin itself, not beneath it. Traditional fillers are placed subdermally to add volume or lift. SKINVIVE does not add volume or change facial structure at all. Its sole focus is improving skin quality: hydration, smoothness, and glow.
Results from SKINVIVE last approximately 6 months. After completing the initial two-session protocol, touch-up sessions are recommended to maintain your improved skin hydration and smoothness.
The optimal protocol is typically 2 sessions spaced 1 month apart. This two-session approach is what was used in the FDA clinical trials and delivers the best cumulative results for skin quality improvement.
Downtime is minimal. Small micro-bumps at the injection sites are expected and resolve within 1–3 days. Most clients feel comfortable returning to normal activities the same day as their treatment.
Yes — SKINVIVE stacks beautifully with other treatments. It pairs especially well with Botox, dermal fillers, and facials. Because it works in the skin rather than beneath it, it complements volumizing and muscle-relaxing treatments without interference.
SKINVIVE is ideal for anyone wanting improved skin quality, hydration, smoothness, or a natural glow — without adding volume or altering their facial structure. It is a great option for those who feel their skin looks dull, dry, or rough despite good skincare.
