The Basics

What is SkinVIVE?

SkinVIVE by Allergan is the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable designed specifically to improve skin quality — not add volume or lift. It works by delivering tiny droplets of hyaluronic acid just beneath the skin's surface, dramatically improving hydration, smoothness, and radiance from within.

Unlike traditional fillers that reshape or volumize, SkinVIVE is all about skin health. The result is skin that looks and feels more supple, dewy, and youthful — as if you've had the best sleep of your life, every day.

It is FDA-approved specifically for the cheeks, and results last up to 6 months with just one treatment.

"SkinVIVE doesn't change your face — it transforms your skin. The glow is real, the hydration is lasting, and the results are unmistakably you."

Deep Hydration

Hyaluronic acid microdroplets are deposited just below the skin surface, binding water and delivering lasting hydration that topical products simply can't achieve.

Skin Smoothness

Clinical studies show significant improvement in skin texture and smoothness — patients describe their skin as feeling softer, more supple, and more even to the touch.

Natural Glow

The luminosity SkinVIVE delivers is subtle and natural — a healthy radiance that makes people ask if you've changed your skincare routine or just came back from vacation.

How SkinVIVE Works

SkinVIVE vs. traditional fillers

It helps to understand how SkinVIVE is different from traditional hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm or Restylane:

Traditional Fillers

Injected deeper to add volume, lift cheeks, plump lips, or fill hollows. The goal is structural change — reshaping and restoring facial contours.

SkinVIVE

Injected superficially as tiny microdroplets to improve skin quality. The goal is skin health — hydration, smoothness, and glow — with no structural change.

Combined Approach

Many patients use both — fillers for structure and volume, SkinVIVE for overall skin quality. Together they create a comprehensive, natural-looking rejuvenation.

Your SkinVIVE experience

01

Consultation

Nikki evaluates your skin, discusses your goals, and determines if SkinVIVE is the right treatment for you — either standalone or combined with other services.

Numbing

A topical numbing cream is applied for 20–30 minutes before treatment to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

03

Treatment

SkinVIVE is injected as tiny microdroplets across the treatment area. The appointment takes approximately 30–45 minutes from start to finish.

04

Results

Initial glow appears within days. Full results are visible at 4 weeks and last up to 6 months. Most patients maintain results with one treatment every 6 months.

FAQ

Common questions

Is SkinVIVE the same as a regular filler?
No — SkinVIVE is a skin booster, not a traditional filler. It does not add volume or lift. It improves skin quality through deep hydration delivered via tiny microdroplets just beneath the skin surface.
Who is a good candidate for SkinVIVE?
Almost anyone! SkinVIVE is ideal for patients who want to improve overall skin quality — those with dull, dry, or rough skin, fine lines from dehydration, or anyone wanting that healthy "lit from within" glow. It works beautifully on all skin types and tones.
Does it hurt?
With topical numbing cream applied beforehand, most patients find SkinVIVE very comfortable. You may feel mild pressure during the injections, but discomfort is minimal and brief.
Is there any downtime?
There is no significant downtime. Some patients experience mild redness or small bumps at injection sites that typically resolve within a few hours to a day. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
How long do results last?
Clinical studies show results lasting up to 6 months. Many patients choose to maintain their glow with a treatment every 6 months.
Can SkinVIVE be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely — in fact, it's often the perfect complement to neurotoxins, fillers, or microneedling. Nikki can design a combined treatment plan to address both skin quality and structural concerns in one visit.
