How SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® Works
SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® utilizes microdroplet injections of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance known for its hydration properties—to enhance skin smoothness. During treatment, small amounts of hyaluronic acid gel are injected just beneath the skin’s surface, where it attracts moisture, supporting a refreshed look. Lidocaine, a common anesthetic, is included in the formulation to help ensure comfort. Results from SKINVIVE appear gradually, providing a smoother, glowing appearance without altering the shape or volume of the face.

Traditional fillers are typically used for facial contouring, while SKINVIVE’s hyaluronic acid injection for glowing skin focuses on enhancing hydration and smoothness, ideal for those seeking subtle skin enhancement.
