What Is Skinvive?
Skinvive is the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) microdroplet injectable in the United States to improve skin smoothness of the cheeks. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume, Skinvive works as an injectable skin booster - a microdroplet hydrator that deeply nourishes and revitalizes your skin from within.
Skinvive employs a uniquely modified form of Hyaluronic Acid to restore the skin’s natural moisture levels, delivering deep hydration that smooths the complexion. This advanced treatment enhances skin elasticity, reduces fine lines, and brings back a youthful radiance, specifically targeting areas like the cheeks, neck, hands, and smoker lines around the mouth.

How Does Skinvive Work?
Skinvive uses microdroplet injection technique to deliver specially formulated hyaluronic acid beneath the skin’s surface. This unique approach works through two primary mechanisms:
- Immediate deep hydration - The hyaluronic acid naturally binds with water molecules, creating instant plumping and moisture retention from within
- Stimulates natural HA production - Encourages your body’s natural hyaluronic acid production and helps the skin retain its natural moisture levels
Unlike topical serums that sit on the skin’s surface, Skinvive delivers hydration at the dermal level where it’s most effective. The microdroplet technique ensures even distribution for natural-looking smoothness and radiance.
