Juvéderm® SKINVIVE™

Hydration, in one visit.

Has the skin on your cheeks lost some of its moisture? It can look dull and tired, and fine lines from dehydration start to show. One visit is usually enough: 1 ml of hyaluronic acid, placed in tiny droplets, leaves skin smoother and better hydrated.

How it works: for the skin, not the shape

Juvéderm® SKINVIVE™ is a gel of modified hyaluronic acid, a moisture-attracting substance already present in your skin. Your doctor spreads it as tiny droplets within the skin, where it helps your skin hold on to its own moisture and softness.

It is made with Allergan’s VYCROSS® technology, which combines low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid: 90% low and 10% high, where most hyaluronic acid fillers use high alone. The result is a smoother gel.

It improves how your skin looks and feels, not the shape of your face. If volume is what you’re missing, that is a job for Juvéderm® Voluma®.

Where it can be used

  • Cheeks
  • Selected facial skin
  • Neck linesUS-approved since June 2026, for adults over 21

What to expect

  1. As you leave

    Small raised points and a little swelling can show. They begin to settle within several hours.

  2. Day 1 to a few days

    Redness, tenderness, firmness or bruising can last a few days. The skin smooths out as the swelling goes down.

  3. Over the following weeks

    Give it time, and see how it looks then.

  4. Longer term

    Results vary with your skin and lifestyle, and last up to six months.

Your visit, step by step

  1. Before

    • Tell your doctor what you take, including blood thinners, and about previous skin treatments
    • Mention any past reaction to hyaluronic acid filler or to lidocaine
    • If you get facial cold sores, please tell us, as the injections can bring on another
    • Say if dental work or another facial procedure is recent or planned
    • Leave a few days before an important event, as bumps or bruising may still show
    • Skip alcohol the day before, as it can increase bruising
    • Keep taking prescribed medicine unless the doctor who prescribed it says to stop
    • Arrive with clean skin and no makeup
  2. The day

    Your doctor cleans your skin, marks the points and places the gel through a series of small injections, with numbing cream first if it is needed. The gel contains lidocaine, too.

  3. Aftercare

    • Your doctor may suggest ice on the area for 15 to 20 minutes before you leave
    • No makeup for the first 12 hours
    • Do not rub or massage the treated areas for 24 hours
    • No strenuous exercise, alcohol, hot showers, saunas or steam rooms for 24 to 48 hours
    • Mild skincare only for a few days, with no scrubs or exfoliating acids
    • For discomfort, paracetamol can help. Ibuprofen and aspirin thin the blood and can make bruising worse
    • Arnica ointment on the skin can help a bruise fade
    • Keep out of direct sun, and wear SPF 40 or higher every day, reapplied every 2 hours in the sun
    • Contact us if anything unexpected develops
