Understanding SKINVIVE.
SKINVIVE by Juvéderm is an injectable treatment for smoother, more hydrated cheek skin. It's based on hyaluronic acid, a moisture-binding substance that occurs naturally in your skin, placed as tiny droplets within the skin itself. Volumizing fillers shape contour, while SKINVIVE is designed for skin quality, so your skin looks smoother and more refreshed and your features stay your own.
At our clinic, SKINVIVE is injected by our experienced physicians.
How the microdroplet treatment works
Hyaluronic acid binds water. Placed in the skin as small droplets, it helps the treated area hold moisture, which improves hydration and the look of skin smoothness over time.
Because the placement and purpose differ from those of volumizing fillers, the goal is smoother, better-hydrated skin with no change to facial shape or projection. Your body gradually breaks down the hyaluronic acid, and repeat treatment keeps the effect going.
Areas and concerns treated
SKINVIVE is designed to improve the smoothness and hydration of cheek skin. Related concerns: fine lines and wrinkles, forehead lines, neck lines and crepey, thinning skin.
It pairs well with treatments that each have their own job: volumizing fillers for lost volume, wrinkle-relaxing injections for expression lines, resurfacing for texture, and a good skincare routine day to day. For cheek volume loss, under-eye hollows or tear troughs, our physicians use hyaluronic acid fillers or PRF.

- Smoother, more hydrated cheek skin, from hyaluronic acid placed within the skin.
- Your contours stay as they are. The focus is skin quality.
- A quick, in-office treatment performed by our physicians.
- Works well alongside fillers, wrinkle-relaxing injections and laser treatments.

Safety, side effects and considerations
Common, temporary effects: redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, firmness and small bumps at the injection sites. These usually settle within days.
Less common risks: infection, nodules and allergic-type reactions. Rarely, as with any hyaluronic acid injectable, product can enter or press on a blood vessel, which can lead to serious complications such as tissue injury or vision changes. Contact the clinic straight away on 604-261-9121 if you notice pale, white or dusky skin, pain that keeps getting worse, or any change in vision.
Reasons to postpone or reconsider: an active skin infection, cold sore or inflammation in the area, pregnancy or breastfeeding, an autoimmune condition, a bleeding disorder or blood-thinning medicines, a known allergy to lidocaine or another component, and dental work or a vaccination that's recent or coming up. Our physicians review your medical history before treatment.
Aftercare. Give the treated skin a short break from strenuous exercise, saunas, makeup and massage while the injection points settle.

FAQ
Questions about SKINVIVE.
It's a hyaluronic acid injectable, used differently from a traditional dermal filler. SKINVIVE improves the smoothness and hydration of cheek skin, while volumizing fillers restore volume and contour.
The effect is temporary because your body gradually breaks down the hyaluronic acid. The manufacturer describes results lasting up to around six months, and this varies from person to person. Repeat treatments keep the effect going.
Your cheek shape stays the same, because SKINVIVE is designed for skin smoothness and hydration. If you'd like more volume or contour in the cheeks, a hyaluronic acid filler is the better match, and the two can be planned together.
Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness or small bumps at the injection sites are common and usually settle within days. Less common but more serious risks exist with any hyaluronic acid injectable, and your physician goes through them with you before treatment.
It's a good fit if your cheek skin feels dry or looks less smooth than you'd like, and you're happy with your volume and contours. If you have other goals too, our physicians can combine it with other treatments in one plan.
