SKINVIVE in Plainview, NY: The Injectable Treatment for Smoother, More Hydrated-Looking Ski

If your skin looks dull, dry, rough, or less smooth than it used to, you may be interested in SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM®. Now offered at The Beauty Source / Mashriqi Internal Medicine in Plainview, NY, SKINVIVE is an injectable treatment designed to improve skin smoothness and hydration without the traditional volumizing effect associated with many dermal fillers.

For patients looking for a subtle approach to improving skin quality, hydration, and smoothness, SKINVIVE can be an option to discuss during an aesthetic consultation.

What Is SKINVIVE?

SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is a hyaluronic acid injectable designed to improve the appearance and feel of the skin.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers that are commonly used to add volume, restore facial contours, or enhance specific features, SKINVIVE is injected into the skin to focus on skin smoothness.

SKINVIVE received FDA approval in 2023 for intradermal injection to improve facial skin smoothness of the cheeks in adults age 21 and older. The FDA has since approved additional labeling for reduction of neck lines and improvement of neck appearance in adults over 21.

SKINVIVE for Skin Hydration

One reason SKINVIVE has attracted attention is its focus on skin quality rather than adding traditional facial volume.

SKINVIVE contains hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally found in the body and is known for its ability to interact with water. Clinical data submitted to the FDA demonstrated an increase in objective skin hydration after treatment, along with improvement in cheek skin smoothness.

This makes SKINVIVE an option for patients who want their skin to look:

  • Smoother

  • More hydrated

  • Fresher

  • Healthier-looking

  • More radiant

  • Less dry or rough

The goal is a subtle improvement in skin quality rather than a noticeably “filled” appearance.

Is SKINVIVE a Dermal Filler?

SKINVIVE is part of the JUVÉDERM family of injectable products and contains hyaluronic acid, but it is used differently from traditional volumizing fillers.

Traditional dermal fillers may be used to restore volume, enhance the lips, define the cheeks, or contour the face. SKINVIVE is designed for intradermal treatment to improve skin smoothness, making it more focused on skin quality.

For patients who are interested in improving their skin without adding significant facial volume, SKINVIVE may be worth discussing with a qualified medical aesthetic provider.

SKINVIVE vs. Traditional Facial Fillers

The biggest difference is the treatment goal.

Traditional dermal filler is generally used to add or restore volume and enhance facial contours.

SKINVIVE is designed to improve skin smoothness and hydration while maintaining the patient's natural facial structure.

That distinction can be particularly appealing to patients who want a refreshed appearance but do not want their cheeks, lips, or other facial features to look more volumized.

What Areas Can SKINVIVE Treat?

SKINVIVE has FDA-approved indications involving the cheeks and, under newer labeling, the neck in adults over 21.

At The Beauty Source / Mashriqi Internal Medicine, treatment recommendations are individualized based on your skin, anatomy, concerns, and aesthetic goals.

During a consultation, we can discuss whether SKINVIVE or another skin-quality treatment is appropriate for you.

What Does a SKINVIVE Treatment Feel Like?

SKINVIVE is administered through a series of small injections into the appropriate treatment area.

The product contains lidocaine, which is included to help reduce discomfort during injection. As with any injectable treatment, patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, itching, or bruising at the injection sites.

Your provider will review appropriate aftercare and what to expect following treatment.

When Will I See SKINVIVE Results?

SKINVIVE results develop over time rather than creating an immediate dramatic change in facial volume.

Clinical studies supporting FDA approval demonstrated improvement in cheek skin smoothness, with effects lasting at least six months in the original study.

Individual results vary, and your provider can discuss expected results and whether maintenance treatments may be appropriate for you.

Is SKINVIVE Right for You?

SKINVIVE may be worth considering if you are looking for an injectable treatment focused on skin smoothness and hydration rather than traditional facial volume.

It may appeal to patients who:

  • Prefer subtle aesthetic treatments

  • Want to improve skin quality

  • Feel their skin looks dry or dull

  • Want smoother-looking cheek skin

  • Are interested in a natural-looking refresh

  • Do not want traditional volumizing filler

  • Want to learn more about injectable skin hydration treatments

Not every patient is a candidate for SKINVIVE. A consultation allows your provider to review your medical history, skin concerns, treatment goals, and the appropriate treatment area.
