SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM®
Skin that looks better hydrated, smoother and lit from within, without changing the shape of your face. SKINVIVE places tiny droplets of hyaluronic acid within the skin, where creams cannot reach.
SKINVIVE™, by Allergan Aesthetics
SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM is made by Allergan Aesthetics, the company behind the JUVÉDERM range. You may know it by its previous UK name, JUVÉDERM VOLITE. Dr Olivia McCormack introduced it to her patients at Wellface, and every treatment is performed by one of our doctors.
Hydration from within
SKINVIVE is a lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel, delivered as tiny microdroplets within the skin, usually across the cheeks. Hyaluronic acid holds many times its own weight in water, and as our natural stores decline, skin starts to look dull, dry and papery. SKINVIVE replenishes that hydration where skincare cannot reach.
Your SKINVIVE appointment
It starts with a consultation. Your doctor looks at your skin and your routine and confirms whether SKINVIVE is the right choice, or whether Profhilo, polynucleotides or another treatment would serve you better.
On the day, numbing cream is applied first, and SKINVIVE itself contains lidocaine for comfort. The gel is placed as a series of very small microdroplets with a fine needle. Small raised points, redness or bruising can be visible for a short time; most people carry on with their day, avoiding heavy make-up, intense exercise and heat for the first day or so.
Results, and who it suits
The improvement builds over the following days and weeks as the hydration takes hold. It generally lasts up to around six months, and Allergan reports hydration benefits up to nine months; a touch-up is sometimes needed, and your doctor will suggest a maintenance rhythm that suits your skin.
SKINVIVE suits dryness, dullness and a lack of glow, and works across skin tones. It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for under 18s, or with certain conditions and allergies, which your doctor checks at consultation. It pairs well with Profhilo, polynucleotides and Hydrafacial as part of a wider plan.
