SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® in Montgomery, Alabama

Healthy-looking skin isn't just about fewer wrinkles—it's about hydration, smoothness, and that natural glow that makes your complexion look refreshed. SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is the first FDA-approved injectable skin hydrator designed to improve skin quality from within without changing your facial shape or adding volume.

At Plastic Surgery Associates of Alabama, SKINVIVE is an excellent option for patients who want smoother, healthier-looking skin with a subtle, natural enhancement. Instead of changing your features, this innovative treatment helps your skin look more hydrated, refreshed, and radiant.

SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that uses microdroplets of hyaluronic acid to improve skin hydration and smoothness in the cheeks.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers that restore facial volume or contour specific features, SKINVIVE works within the skin itself. Tiny amounts of hyaluronic acid are placed just beneath the skin's surface, helping improve hydration and overall skin quality without changing the shape of your face.

The result is smoother, healthier-looking skin with a natural glow.

Hyaluronic acid naturally attracts and retains water within the skin, helping maintain hydration, softness, and elasticity.

As we age, our natural levels of hyaluronic acid decrease, leaving the skin looking drier, rougher, and less radiant.

SKINVIVE delivers tiny microdroplets of modified hyaluronic acid throughout the cheek area, helping the skin retain moisture from within. Rather than filling wrinkles or changing facial contours, the treatment improves hydration beneath the surface, resulting in smoother skin and a healthy, refreshed appearance.

Although both SKINVIVE and traditional dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, they are designed for very different purposes.

Traditional fillers are used to:

• Restore lost facial volume
• Enhance lips
• Define the jawline
• Lift the cheeks
• Improve facial contours

SKINVIVE is designed to:

• Improve skin hydration
• Increase cheek smoothness
• Enhance skin texture
• Boost overall radiance
• Create healthier-looking skin without adding volume

Think of dermal fillers as contouring the face, while SKINVIVE focuses on improving the quality of the skin itself.

Treatment begins with a consultation to evaluate your skin concerns and determine whether SKINVIVE is the right option for you.

Using a very fine needle, your provider places tiny microdroplets of hyaluronic acid throughout the cheeks. The treatment typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes.

Most patients describe the injections as very tolerable, and many formulations contain lidocaine to improve comfort during treatment.

There is little to no downtime following treatment.

Some patients experience mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or small bumps at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days.

Most patients return to work and normal activities immediately after their appointment.

Your provider will give you personalized aftercare instructions to help you achieve the best possible results.

Many patients begin noticing smoother, healthier-looking skin within the first few weeks as hydration improves.

Clinical studies have shown improvements in cheek smoothness lasting up to six months with a single treatment.

Individual results may vary depending on skin condition, lifestyle, and overall skincare routine.

Both treatments help improve skin quality, but they work differently.

Hydrafacial deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the surface of the skin, making it an excellent monthly maintenance treatment.

SKINVIVE works beneath the skin's surface to improve hydration from within for longer-lasting improvements in skin smoothness.

Many patients choose to combine SKINVIVE with treatments like Hydrafacial®, DiamondGlow®, laser resurfacing, or medical-grade skincare to maintain a healthy, glowing complexion year-round.

SKINVIVE contains hyaluronic acid like many dermal fillers, but it is designed to improve skin hydration and smoothness rather than restore facial volume.

No. SKINVIVE is not intended to add volume or change your facial contours. It improves skin quality while maintaining your natural facial shape.

Clinical studies have shown improvements lasting up to six months after treatment.

Most patients experience very little downtime and return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

Yes. SKINVIVE pairs well with wrinkle relaxers, dermal fillers, laser skin rejuvenation, Hydrafacial®, DiamondGlow®, and medical-grade skincare for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
