Skinvive
Skinvive
SkinVive by Juvederm is the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) microdroplet injectable designed to improve skin smoothness. This innovative treatment enhances your skin’s natural hydration, resulting in a radiant and healthy appearance that can last up to six months with optimal treatment.
How SkinVive Works
Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume, SkinVive is administered as tiny, intradermal microdroplets of hyaluronic acid within the dermis layer. This approach hydrates the skin from within, enhancing its smoothness and overall quality without altering the natural contours of your face. Additionally, SkinVive has been shown to increase the expression of aquaporin-3 (AQP3), a protein that facilitates the flow of water and glycerol into and out of cells. Glycerol plays an important role in skin hydration, elasticity, and barrier repair. By enhancing AQP3 expression, SkinVive further promotes skin hydration and health.
