What is SKINVIVE™ by Juvéderm?

SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) microdroplet injectable designed to improve skin smoothness and internal hydration of the cheeks. This innovative skin booster enhances your natural glow without altering facial volume or contours. With just one treatment, results can last up to 9 months with optimal care.
How does SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® work?
SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® uses modified hyaluronic acid, a molecule naturally found in your skin, to attract and retain moisture. Injected as tiny microdroplets just under the skin’s surface, it helps replenish your skin’s hydration, improving smoothness, softness, and radiance from within.
How does SKINVIVE help with you skin?
As you age, your skin loses hyaluronic acid (HA) and overall smoothness and hydration. HA increases your skin’s natural hydrating ability to retain moisture and softness. SKINVIVE is a form of HA and once injected, SKINVIVE boosts your skin’s internal hydration and water absorption for more glowing skin.
Is SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® considered a dermal filler?
Technically, yes—it contains hyaluronic acid, the same ingredient found in many dermal fillers. However, SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® is not used to add volume or contour. It is designed to improve skin quality, texture, and glow, without altering the shape of your face.

the procedure involves multiple microdroplet injections into each cheek, performed by one of our experienced practitioners.

-
You’ll be advised to avoid alcohol, sun or heat exposure, and vigorous exercise for the first 24 hours following treatment.
How long does the procedure take?
The SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® injection itself takes about 15 minutes. Including consultation and prep, expect your appointment at Pure Rejuvenation to last approximately 30–45 minutes.
Is there any downtime?
Minimal to none. You may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, which typically resolves within hours. Unlike many resurfacing or laser treatments, SKINVIVE has little to no interruption to daily life.
How long do results last?
With optimal treatment, SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® results are clinically shown to last up to 9 months. Many clients choose to repeat treatment bi-annually to maintain their radiant results.
Does SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® work on all skin types and tones?
Yes. Clinical studies have shown that SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® is safe and effective for all skin types and skin tones. It’s a versatile solution suitable for virtually anyone seeking enhanced skin hydration and smoothness.
Is SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® better than topical skincare?
Topical moisturizers hydrate the surface of your skin. SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® hydrates from within, delivering long-lasting, deep dermal hydration that’s impossible to achieve with creams or serums alone. You can still use your favourite topical skincare to support your skin barrier while SKINVIVE works underneath.
Will my face shape change?
No. Unlike traditional fillers, SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® does not add volume or contour. It simply improves skin texture, hydration, and radiance for a fresh, healthy appearance.
Is SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® approved by Health Canada and the FDA?
Yes. SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® is FDA-approved and is being safely administered across Canada under licensed professionals. At Pure Rejuvenation in Toronto, we follow strict medical protocols to ensure your safety and satisfaction.

What is the difference between Skinvive and Restylane Skinboosters?
SkinVive by Juvéderm and Restylane Skinboosters are both injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) treatments designed to deeply hydrate and improve skin quality rather than add volume. The main difference lies in their formulation and treatment approach. SkinVive uses smooth microdroplets of HA injected just beneath the skin’s surface to enhance cheek smoothness, hydration, and radiance in a single session, with results lasting up to six months.
In contrast, Restylane Skinboosters are also HA-based but are typically performed as a series of three sessions spaced a few weeks apart, targeting broader areas like the face, neck, and hands to improve overall texture, elasticity, and glow.
While both rejuvenate and moisturize the skin from within, SkinVive is ideal for patients seeking a quick, minimal-downtime glow in one treatment, whereas Restylane Skinboosters offer progressive, full-face hydration and long-term improvement with a series of sessions.
