SKINVIVE™ in Midtown, NYC
The field of aesthetic medicine is constantly evolving, and SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® represents the latest advancement. Designed to enhance skin hydration and texture, especially in the cheek area, Skinvive™ is setting new standards in skin treatments.
What is SKINVIVE™?
SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is the first and only intradermal injectable treatment designed to enhance skin hydration and smoothness. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that focus on volume replacement or contouring, SKINVIVE™ is tailored to improve the skin's texture and hydration. It's a unique approach that addresses the skin's intrinsic needs, ensuring a radiant and youthful appearance.
The Science Behind SKINVIVE™
SKINVIVE™ is formulated with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in our bodies. This component is known for its ability to retain moisture, making it a crucial ingredient for skin hydration. When injected into the dermal layer of the skin, SKINVIVE™ works its magic by attracting and binding water molecules. This not only hydrates the skin but also stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines.

SKINVIVE™ vs. Traditional Dermal Fillers
While SKINVIVE™ and traditional dermal fillers both utilize hyaluronic acid, their applications differ. Dermal fillers are primarily used to replace lost volume, contour the face, and fill in wrinkles. SKINVIVE™, on the other hand, focuses on enhancing skin hydration and smoothness. It's a treatment that complements the effects of dermal fillers, offering a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.
The SKINVIVE™ Procedure
This treatment begins with a consultation with our expert providers. Once the treatment area is identified, a topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort. The SKINVIVE™ injectable gel, which also contains an anesthetic called lidocaine, is then administered. The entire procedure is quick, and patients can resume their daily activities immediately after.
