Healthy, radiant skin has a glow that no filter can match. But as we age, that natural shine fades. Years of sun exposure, stress, and a gradual loss of collagen and hydration can leave skin looking dull, tired, or uneven. What once felt effortless now takes extra care, and even the best medical-grade skincare routines sometimes need a boost.
That’s where SKINVIVE by Juvederm comes in. At Aesthetix Lab in Dana Point, our expert injectors use this breakthrough treatment to restore soft hydration and skin smoothness from within. Unlike dermal fillers that add volume, SKINVIVE is all about deep hydration. It gives your skin the refreshed appearance you’ve been missing, helping it look supple, radiant, and naturally youthful again.
SKINVIVE is the first and only FDA-approved injectable skin treatment in the U.S. designed specifically to improve skin hydration and texture without adding volume. It’s made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain water and keep skin plump and elastic.
As we age, we lose hyaluronic acid, and collagen production slows, leading to dryness, fine lines, and a dull complexion. SKINVIVE replenishes that lost moisture directly within the skin itself. The microdroplet technique places tiny amounts of hyaluronic acid throughout the cheeks for an even, hydrated, and smoother appearance.
Unlike fillers for the lips, chin, or cheeks that reshape features, SKINVIVE injections are designed to enhance skin quality, giving you that glow-from-within effect.
Many dermal fillers are formulated to restore volume loss in specific areas such as the lips, mouth, or under the eyes. They lift, contour, or reshape the face.
SKINVIVE is different. It’s a skin booster, not a reshaper. Instead of focusing on contours, it addresses hydration, texture, and elasticity. The treatment spreads evenly within the skin, improving radiance, smoothing fine lines, and restoring lost moisture.
Patients who want natural results that don’t change their facial structure love SKINVIVE because it refreshes the skin itself. It can also be paired with other fillers or services for a more comprehensive rejuvenation plan.
Patients choose SKINVIVE because it provides:
One of the first places aging shows is in the cheeks. SKINVIVE helps soften lines and improve texture for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
If your skin looks tired or uneven despite a good skincare routine, SKINVIVE can restore radiance by replenishing hydration and improving elasticity.
Though not designed to add bulk like fillers, SKINVIVE addresses subtle surface changes caused by volume loss, giving skin a refreshed and plump quality.
SKINVIVE deeply hydrates the skin, addressing persistent dryness that topical creams can’t fix.
By stimulating collagen production and restoring hydration, SKINVIVE improves overall texture and leaves the skin softer and more refined.
SKINVIVE is ideal for adults who want healthier-looking skin without changing their facial shape. Most patients who are bothered by dryness, fine lines, or dullness are good candidates for treatment. If you’re looking for improvement in your skin’s hydration and elasticity, SKINVIVE may be right for you.
Patients who may not be good candidates include those with active skin infections, certain medical conditions, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. During your personal consultation, one of our expert injectors will review your medical history and discuss the best treatment options for your goals.
Every appointment at our Orange County medical spa is done with comfort and privacy in mind. During your consultation, your injector will assess your skin, discuss your treatment goals, and create a personalized plan.
Preparation is simple. We typically recommend avoiding alcohol, aspirin, or blood-thinning medications for a few days beforehand to reduce bruising and inflammation. Most patients require no special skin prep.
The treatment itself is quick, usually about 20 minutes. Our expert injectors place microdroplets of SKINVIVE into the skin of the cheeks using a fine needle. The product contains lidocaine, which helps minimize discomfort. Patients often describe the procedure as very tolerable, with only mild redness at the injection sites afterward.
SKINVIVE injections can also be paired with other treatments in various areas, such as the lips, neck, or chin, depending on your overall plan.
After treatment, most patients notice mild redness or swelling, but this fades within a day or two. You can usually return to normal activities right away.
Results develop gradually over the following weeks as your skin absorbs the hyaluronic acid and begins to retain more hydration. With time, many patients also experience improvement in collagen production, which supports smoother, stronger, more resilient skin.
With proper aftercare, including sun protection and medical-grade skincare, your results can last up to six months. Many patients choose maintenance appointments to keep their youthful radiance year-round.
