SkinVive
What is SkinVive?
SkinVive by Juvéderm is an innovative, FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to boost skin hydration, improve smoothness, and enhance overall skin quality. Unlike traditional fillers that add volume, SkinVive is a microdroplet hyaluronic acid injectable that works beneath the skin’s surface to increase hydration and radiance.
It’s ideal for people looking to achieve a refreshed, dewy glow without changing facial structure. The treatment is quick (usually under 30 minutes), with minimal downtime, and results can last six to nine months. It’s commonly used in the mid-face area, but can also improve skin texture in other areas.
What to expect from Your SkinVive Treatment
Step 1: Pre-Treatment
No major prep is needed, but avoid blood thinners (like aspirin or ibuprofen) a few days before to reduce bruising.
Arrive with a clean face (no makeup) if possible
Step 2: Day of Treatment
SkinVive is injected using microdroplets of hyaluronic acid into the skin (not deep like traditional fillers).
The treatment is quick—usually under 30 minutes.
You may feel mild pinches, but most clients report minimal discomfort.
Step 3: Post-Treatment
Expect slight redness, swelling, or tiny bumps at the injection sites—these typically disappear within a few hours to a day.
No downtime! You can return to most daily activities immediately.
Avoid intense workouts, excessive sun exposure, or alcohol for 24 hours.
Hydration is key- drink plenty of water to maximize the glow!
Results
Visible hydration boost within a few days—your skin will look plumper, smoother, and more radiant.
Full results typically appear in 2-4 weeks.
The glow lasts six to nine months, making this a perfect low-maintenance skin refresh.

Who is NOT a Candidate for SkinVive?
While SkinVive is a fantastic option for most people looking to enhance their skin’s hydration and glow, some individuals may not be ideal candidates for treatment. You should avoid SkinVive if you:
- Are Pregnant or Breastfeeding – There’s limited research on its safety during pregnancy or nursing.
- Have Active Skin Infections or Acne Breakouts – Injections can spread bacteria and worsen conditions.
- Have a History of Severe Allergies – Especially to hyaluronic acid fillers or lidocaine (SkinVive contains both).
- Have an Autoimmune Disease Affecting Healing – Conditions like lupus or uncontrolled diabetes may increase risks.
- Have a Bleeding Disorder or Take Blood Thinners – These can lead to excessive bruising or complications.
- Are Prone to Keloids or Hypertrophic Scars – The treatment involves multiple microinjections, which may trigger excess scar tissue formation.
- Are Expecting Instant Wrinkle Reduction – SkinVive is designed for hydration and skin quality improvement, not deep wrinkle correction or volume enhancement.
If you're unsure whether SkinVive is right for you, a consultation with Cool Body Sculpting Center can help determine your eligibility!
How Often Do You Re-Treat with SkinVive?
SkinVive results typically last up to 6 months, so most clients retreat every 6 months to maintain their skin’s hydration, smoothness, and glow. However, some may choose to retreat sooner, around 4–5 months, if they want to keep their skin consistently radiant.
Recommended Retreat Timeline:
- Every 6 months for optimal skin hydration and glow
- Every 4–5 months if you prefer continuous results without any lapse
- As needed based on personal skin goals and provider recommendations
Can SkinVive Be Used with other Cosmetic Injectables?
Yes! SkinVive can be combined with other cosmetic injectables to create a customized, all-around refreshed look. Since SkinVive is a skin booster, not a filler, it pairs well with treatments that enhance volume, reduce wrinkles, or contour the face.
Best Injectable Pairings with SkinVive:
Botox: Smooths dynamic wrinkles (like crow’s feet & forehead lines) while SkinVive improves skin texture & hydration.
Treatment Timing Recommendations:
Same day: SkinVive can be done with Botox in the same visit!
At Cool Body Sculpting Center, we offer both SkinVive & Botox, making it easy to combine treatments for a full-face refresh!
