SKINVIVE™ by Juvéderm® is an injectable designed to improve the skin itself — smoother, with a healthy-looking glow — rather than to add volume. At Montville MedSpa & Pain Center, your treatment is planned and overseen by our physician-led team.
What Is SKINVIVE?
SKINVIVE™ is made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance your skin already contains that attracts and holds water, together with lidocaine for comfort. It is placed as tiny microdroplets just under the surface of the skin, spread evenly across the cheeks.
In 2023 the FDA approved SKINVIVE™ to improve skin smoothness of the cheeks in adults over 21.
How Is It Different From a Filler?
| Dermal filler | SKINVIVE™ | |
|---|---|---|
| What it does | Adds volume and shape where it is placed | Improves the smoothness of the skin |
| Where it goes | Deeper, to restore contour | Just under the surface, as microdroplets |
| Best for | Lips, cheeks, folds, contours | Skin that looks dull or less smooth than it used to |
Many patients combine the two, or pair SKINVIVE™ with Botox and other neurotoxins. Your provider will recommend what suits your skin and your goals.
Is SKINVIVE Right for You?
It may suit you if you:
- Want smoother-looking skin on your cheeks
- Are looking for a glow, not a change in shape
- Prefer a subtle, natural-looking improvement
The only way to know is a consultation, where we look at your skin, talk about your goals and explain your options.
What to Expect
Consultation. We review your health history and your goals, and agree on a plan.
Treatment. SKINVIVE™ is placed with a fine needle as a series of tiny injections across the cheeks.
Afterwards. Most people go straight back to their day. Some redness, swelling, small bumps, tenderness or bruising where it was placed is common and temporary. Your provider will give you aftercare instructions.
Results. The manufacturer reports results that can last up to six months with an optional touch-up.

Frequently asked questions
What is SKINVIVE?
SKINVIVE™ by Juvéderm® is an injectable made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance your skin already contains, with lidocaine for comfort. Instead of adding volume, it is placed as tiny microdroplets just under the surface of the skin to improve its smoothness.
Is SKINVIVE FDA-approved?
Yes. In 2023 the FDA approved SKINVIVE™ to improve skin smoothness of the cheeks in adults over 21. Your provider will talk you through whether it suits your skin at your consultation.
How is it different from a dermal filler?
A dermal filler adds volume and shape where it is placed. SKINVIVE™ is about the quality of the skin itself — smoothness and a healthy-looking glow — so it does not change the shape of your face.
How long do results last?
The manufacturer reports results that can last up to six months with an optional touch-up. How long yours last depends on your skin and your treatment plan.
Is there downtime?
Most people return to their day straight away. As with any injectable, you may have temporary redness, swelling, small bumps, tenderness or bruising where it was placed.
