What is SkinVive™ by Juvéderm®?
SkinVive by Juvéderm revolutionizes skincare as the inaugural FDA-approved hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable in the US, targeting cheek smoothness. This breakthrough product enhances hydration, promoting enduring skin luminosity. Acting as a “skin booster,” SkinVive doesn’t add volume but nurtures skin moisture and softness, refining skin texture. Unlike traditional fillers, SkinVive’s focus lies in revitalizing skin quality. FDA’s endorsement of SkinVive in 2023 marks a pivotal advancement in skincare, offering a safe and effective solution for achieving radiant, smooth skin.
Individuals with all Fitzpatrick skin types (I-VI) are excellent candidates for SkinVive, enabling anyone seeking a boost to reap its skin quality and hydration benefits.

The SkinVive™ by Juvéderm® Procedure
Before treatment, the patient should avoid taking aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs such as Advil/Motrin for five days. Refrain from Vitamin E, fish oil, Ginkgo Biloba, St. John’s Wort, Ginseng, and Garlic 7-10 days before arriving for your appointment. These blood-thinning drugs and herbs may cause additional bleeding or bruising.
Upon arrival, our staff cleans and preps the patient’s skin and begins tiny injections of SkinVive product into the treatment area in a grid pattern. The injections typically take less than 15 minutes for two syringes (one per cheek area).
Your Recovery and Results
There is little to no downtime for the patient after SkinVive treatments. Individuals in the clinical studies resumed daily activities immediately after treatment. Redness, tenderness, and firmness may appear after the procedure but disappear within three days of the procedure. Thrive Medical Spa suggests patients apply ice packs to treated areas for 5-10 minutes every day for three days after the procedure. We recommend staying away from heavy exercise, makeup, and sun exposure for the first 24 hours.
Patients report satisfaction for up to six months with glowing, hydrated, refreshed, and healthy looking skin.
