If you’re looking for a way to boost your skin’s hydration, smoothness, and overall radiance, SkinVive by Juvéderm might be the perfect solution. This first-of-its-kind injectable treatment enhances skin quality from within, without adding volume like traditional fillers. Curious to learn more? We’ve got you covered with this comprehensive guide to SkinVive!
What is SkinVive by Juvéderm?
SkinVive is an innovative injectable treatment that improves skin quality by increasing hydration, elasticity, and smoothness. Unlike traditional fillers that add volume, SkinVive works beneath the surface with a unique hyaluronic acid (HA) formulation to enhance your skin’s health and glow.
Why Choose Dr. Palm and Art of Skin MD for SkinVive?
Dr. Melanie Palm was one of only 15 U.S. clinical investigators in the FDA phase III trials that led to SkinVive’s approval. This means she has nearly six years more experience with this treatment than other providers in the U.S., ensuring expert-level results for her patients at Art of Skin MD.
How Does SkinVive Work?
SkinVive’s proprietary HA formulation is injected just beneath the skin’s surface, where it attracts water to improve hydration and elasticity. This results in a refreshed, radiant complexion—especially in areas like the cheeks and lower face.

What Areas Can Be Treated?
SkinVive is FDA-approved for the cheeks but can also be used off-label in other areas, including:
- Mid-face and lower face
- Jawline
- Neck and décolleté
What to Expect During Your Treatment
- Consultation – Your provider will assess your skin and discuss your goals.
- Preparation – The area is cleansed, and a numbing cream may be applied for comfort.
- Injection – Using a fine needle, SkinVive is carefully injected into the skin. The procedure takes about 20-30 minutes.
Does SkinVive Hurt?
SkinVive contains lidocaine, a numbing agent, to minimize discomfort. Most patients report only mild sensations during the injections.
When Will I See Results?
You’ll begin noticing improved hydration and smoothness within two weeks, with full results visible after four weeks.
How Long Do Results Last?
Clinical studies show that results can last up to six months or more. Regular maintenance treatments help sustain the effects.
Are There Any Side Effects?
SkinVive is generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days.
Who Should Avoid SkinVive?
You should avoid SkinVive if you:
- Have severe allergies to lidocaine or hyaluronic acid
- Have active skin infections or inflammation in the treatment area
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
How Does SkinVive Compare to Other Skin Treatments?
Unlike traditional fillers, SkinVive doesn’t add volume. Instead, it works beneath the surface to enhance skin quality by improving hydration, elasticity, and texture.
Can SkinVive Be Combined with Other Treatments?
Absolutely! SkinVive pairs well with:
- Microneedling or laser resurfacing – for improved skin texture and tone
- Botox – for smoothing dynamic wrinkles
- Dermal fillers – for volume restoration in areas like the cheeks or lips
How to Prepare for Your SkinVive Treatment
- Avoid blood-thinning medications (aspirin, fish oil) for at least a week before treatment to minimize bruising.

- Inform your provider about any allergies, medications, or medical conditions.
