What is Skinvive at Elevate Aesthetics Glendale

What Is Skinvive?

Skinvive by Juvederm (JUVEDERM SKINVIVE) is an FDA-approved injectable skin booster made from BDDE cross-linked hyaluronic acid the same hydration molecule naturally found in your skin. Rather than adding volume like a traditional dermal filler, Skinvive is injected as tiny microdroplets into the superficial dermis of the cheeks. This intradermal delivery hydrates the skin at its source, improving texture, smoothness, and elasticity from within.

Skinvive received FDA approval in May 2023, making it the first injectable of its kind cleared specifically for improving cheek skin quality in the United States. Clinical studies showed that 93% of patients reported satisfaction with their skin's smoothness at 6 months with no filler-like volume change, simply better, healthier-looking skin.

  • FDA-approved Skinvive by Juvederm the only injectable approved for skin quality improvement in the US
  • Board-certified physician injectors Dr. Garen Derhartunian MD and Dr. Narbeh Tovmassian MD
  • Natural glow no volume change, no filler look. Just smoother, more hydrated skin
  • Results last up to 6 months with a simple touch-up to maintain
  • Free personalized consultations we assess your skin quality and goals before any treatment

How Skinvive Works

Skinvive uses a microdroplet injection technique: your physician deposits tiny amounts of cross-linked hyaluronic acid into the superficial dermis using a fine needle across the cheek area. The HA integrates into the skin matrix, binding water molecules and improving hydration at a cellular level. Unlike volumizing fillers injected deep into tissue, Skinvive works at the skin layer itself - improving texture, smoothness, and radiance without changing facial structure or adding volume. Treatment takes approximately 15-20 minutes. Results are visible within days and peak at 4 weeks, lasting up to 6 months. Most patients need just one session initially, with a maintenance treatment every 6 months.

Skinvive vs. Fillers vs. Hydrafacial vs. PRF

Traditional dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane add volume to specific areas - they don't improve overall skin quality or texture. Hydrafacial and chemical peels treat the skin surface but don't deliver hydration into the dermis. PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) stimulates collagen from the inside out. Skinvive is uniquely positioned: it's the only injectable that targets skin quality - smoothness, hydration, and glow - at the dermal level without adding volume. Many Elevate Aesthetics patients combine Skinvive with Botox for dynamic wrinkles and HA fillers for volume, creating a comprehensive skin quality and rejuvenation program.

Your Skinvive Appointment at Elevate Aesthetics

Arrive refreshed and leave with smoother, more hydrated skin Skinvive treatments at Elevate Aesthetics are fast, precise, and designed for natural results.

1

Free Consultation

Your physician assesses your skin quality, texture, hydration levels, and discusses your goals. We review your medical history and determine whether Skinvive alone or in combination with other treatments (Botox, fillers, Morpheus8) best achieves your desired outcome. No upselling, no pressure.

2

Topical Numbing

A topical anesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area 15-20 minutes before injections. Skinvive also contains lidocaine in the formulation for added comfort during treatment. Most patients find Skinvive injections comfortable and well-tolerated.

3

Precise Microdroplet Injection

Using ultra-fine needles, your physician administers Skinvive as a series of tiny microdroplets into the superficial dermis of the cheeks (and any additional areas). Treatment is methodical and precise, covering the entire treatment zone evenly. A full session takes 15-20 minutes.

4

Aftercare & Follow-Up

Mild redness, swelling, or small bumps at injection sites are normal and resolve within 24-48 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise, heat, and makeup for 24 hours post-treatment. Results improve over 2-4 weeks as the HA integrates into the skin. A complimentary 2-week follow-up is included. Maintenance treatment every 6 months sustains results.

Skinvive FAQs Glendale, CA

Answers to common questions about our treatment.

Skinvive by Juvederm is made by Allergan (the same company as Juvederm), but it works completely differently from traditional fillers. Juvederm and Restylane are volumizing fillers they add physical volume by filling space under the skin in specific areas like lips, cheeks, or folds. Skinvive is not a volumizer. It is an intradermal skin booster: tiny microdroplets of cross-linked hyaluronic acid are injected into the superficial dermis to hydrate the skin from within, improving smoothness, texture, and glow without adding any volume or changing facial structure. At Elevate Aesthetics in Glendale, patients often describe the result as their skin looking like its best self healthy, hydrated, and naturally radiant, without any filler appearance.
