What Makes SKINVIVE Different from Other Dermal Fillers?

SKINVIVE is the latest FDA-approved injectable by JUVÉDERM®, but there are lots of reasons why this new injectable is unlike any other currently on the market. Commonly called a “microdroplet injectable” or even “injectable moisturizer,” SKINVIVE works just beneath the skin’s surface to deliver intense hydration and impart a dewy glow on your complexion. Here, Dr. West, a leader in cosmetic procedures, shares some of the stand-out features of SKINVIVE that set it apart from other popular injectables. 

SKINVIVE Improves the Skin’s Appearance

Unlike traditional dermal fillers that primarily focus on changing the shape of the face by adding volume in specific areas, Skivive works to deeply hydrate the skin from the inside out without adding volume or causing noticeable changes to the shape or profile of your face. This microdroplet injectable contains a specific formulation of hyaluronic acid aimed at delivering hydration to the skin, resulting in improved skin texture, smoothness and an overall dewy and radiant appearance.

SKINVIVE Offers Very Natural-Looking Results

Because SKINVIVE focuses on hydrating and smoothing the skin rather than adding volume, its results appear very natural-looking – so you look just like yourself, just glowier. While properly administered injectable fillers can also achieve a very smooth and natural look, some people prefer the subtler boost of hydration and dewy glow that SKINVIVE can offer compared to other injectable treatments.

For this reason, SKINVIVE can be a great injectable to try if you have never had injectables before and are looking for subtler results to start. 

SKINVIVE Is Injected Just Beneath the Skin’s Surface

SKINVIVE is injected very shallowly, directly beneath the surface of your skin. There, its thin, water-like consistency allows the product to diffuse to the larger surrounding areas to improve skin texture and hydration across your entire complexion. This precise delivery system of SKINVIVE ensures optimal results without altering your facial contour, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a natural yet rejuvenated appearance.

Other injectable fillers generally have a more gel-like consistency and are placed deeper within the skin so that they are able to restore lost facial volume.

SKINVIVE Is Highly Versatile

Finally, one of the standout features of SKINVIVE is its versatility. Not only can it be used to enhance facial hydration and overall radiance, but SKINVIVE can also be placed in other areas such as the backs of hands to rejuvenate and revitalize skin texture. 

Additionally, SKINVIVE can be seamlessly combined with other treatments, including dermal fillers and BOTOX, enhancing its benefits and providing comprehensive overall results. If you are considering combining skin treatments, Dr. West can create a customized treatment plan that will bring out the best that each treatment has to offer, based on your skin’s unique needs. 

SKINVIVE also works well on its own as a “prejuvenation” treatment to help keep your skin looking and feeling refreshed, youthful and radiant.
