enhance the overall look and feel of your skin

Skinvive injectable skin treatment

What you need to know about Skinvive

Skinvive™ by Juvéderm is a next-generation injectable skin-quality treatment designed to enhance the overall look and feel of your skin rather than change its shape or volume. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that augment or contour facial features, Skinvive uses microdroplets of hyaluronic acid (HA) to improve hydration, smoothness, elasticity, radiance, and overall texture of the skin.

Skinvive is available for £350 for the first 1ml and then £250 for the 2nd ml.

It is FDA-approved specifically to improve skin smoothness of the cheeks with results that can last up to 9 months with optimal treatment and is suitable for all skin types

Who is suitable for Skinvive?

Skinvive is ideal for people who:

  • Want healthier-looking, deeply hydrated skin
  • Have fine lines, rough texture, dullness or dryness
  • Are looking to improve skin quality without changing facial shape
  • Want a natural, subtle glow rather than dramatic contouring
  • Are seeking minimally invasive treatments with little to no downtime

Skinvive is suitable for all skin tones and types.

Microdroplets of hyaluronic acid improve skin hydration, smoothness, elasticity, radiance, and texture

How does Skinvive work?

Skinvive works at the dermal level (just beneath the surface of the skin) using an innovative microdroplet injection technique:

  • Hyaluronic Acid (HA) – A naturally occurring molecule that attracts and retains moisture (up to 1,000× its weight in water). When injected as tiny droplets, it boosts internal skin hydration and improves texture.
  • Microdroplet Delivery – Rather than adding volume like traditional fillers, these microdroplets spread evenly within the dermis, enhancing moisture distribution across the skin so it feels smoother and more radiant.
  • Hydration + Glow – Increased hydration helps improve skin smoothness, elasticity and creates a healthy, luminous glow with minimal downtime.
  • Optional Lidocaine – Built-in mild anaesthetic improves comfort during treatment.

The treatment typically takes about 15–30 minutes, with results developing over several weeks and lasting for months.

Longevity

A course of Skinvive should deliver effective skin hydration and better tone that enhances the patient’s complexion over several weeks, with results commonly lasting around six to nine months. Individual longevity varies with lifestyle and skin condition. We rercommend maintenance sessions to sustain the glow and smoothness.

Side Effects

Skinvive is a gentle skin injection booster, which may cause mild, short-lived redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness at the injection sites. More significant reactions are uncommon as your skin and historical intolerances will be initially assessed by our expert clinicians.

Aftercare

You can return to daily activities straight away following your treatment. Keep the area treated clean and avoid touching or vigorous massage for the initial 24 hours. Avoid intense exercise and excessive heat for 24–48 hours, protect skin with SPF, and maintain good hydration for optimal results.
