SKINVIVE™ by Juvéderm is an innovative new dermal filler that is known for its unique and innovative microdroplet technology. SKINVIVE™ is a hyaluronic based product that is injected beneath the skin’s surface, where is ‘spreads’ in a controlled manner to improve the overall complexion. It’s smooth spreading formula is designed to plump and smooth the face – in addition to improving fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and volume loss.
The hyaluronic acid immediately hydrates and plumps skin, while also stimulating collagen production for natural, long-lasting results. Its advanced, smooth microdroplet technology avoids the risk of overfilling, giving patients a natural-looking, glowing, rejuvenated appearance.
#2: How Does SKINVIVE™ Differ from Other Dermal Fillers?
SKINVIVE™ stands out from other fillers due to its new, proprietary microdroplet technology.
Traditional fillers are administered as larger amounts into smaller more targeted areas. This can be great for filling deep lines and wrinkles – but it can’t be used in a “widespread” manner without causing a puffed or unnatural appearance.
In contrast, SKINVIVE™ is administered in smaller, individual ‘droplets’, allowing for smooth, controlled spreading under the skin to treat large areas of the face. This technology not only avoids overcorrection which ensures a more natural look, but also improves the smoothness and “glow” of the entire complexion.
Additionally, SKINVIVE™ also stimulates collagen production for natural, long-lasting results that continue to improve over time!

No. While patients may experience some slight swelling and mild redness at the injection site, this typically subsides within a few hours. Bruising is rare but occasional and can be covered by makeup. Patients can resume their normal daily activities – avoiding sweating, saunas, and touching/rubbing the face until the dermal filler has ‘set’ in place.
