SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® in Needham, MA
SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® Injections
SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is the first and only FDA-approved microdroplet injectable in the United States designed specifically to improve skin smoothness and facial skin hydration in the cheeks. In addition to its original FDA approval for cheek skin smoothness, SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is now also FDA-approved to improve the appearance of horizontal neck lines, often caused by frequent device use (“tech neck”), making it a versatile option for refreshing skin quality in both areas. While traditional dermal fillers add volume or define facial features, this skin booster treatment works within the skin itself, delivering hyaluronic acid in a series of tiny microdroplets to deeply hydrate, soften, and improve overall skin quality.
As an injectable beauty treatment, its approach focuses on improving skin quality at the surface rather than altering underlying facial structures. Patients often describe their skin as feeling smoother, softer, and more luminous following treatment, with improvements in skin texture and glow becoming more apparent in the weeks after injection.
SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is ideal for adults who want to refresh their skin from within without altering their facial structure or natural features. This hydration injection is especially well-suited for those noticing dullness, dryness, or a loss of that natural dewy quality in the skin.
Results from a SKINVIVE™ injection have been shown to last up to six months with optimal treatment, which typically consists of an initial session followed by a touch-up at one month. The procedure can often be completed in approximately 30 minutes, with little to no interruption to your daily routine.
Before your appointment, avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil for at least 24 hours to minimize bruising. Mild swelling, tenderness, or redness at the injection sites may occur and generally subsides within a few days.

FAQs
What makes SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® different from traditional dermal fillers?
Traditional dermal fillers are designed to restore volume or reshape facial features, while this microdroplet injectable focuses on improving skin quality, smoothness, and facial skin hydration from within. It does not add volume or change your facial structure.
Who is a good candidate for a SKINVIVE™ injection?
This treatment is suitable for adults who want to improve skin texture, radiance, and hydration without altering their appearance. A consultation at WAVE Medical Aesthetics will help determine whether this skin booster treatment is the right fit for your skin and goals.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients start with an initial treatment and return for a touch-up about one month later. Results can last up to six months, and maintenance treatments may help keep your skin looking refreshed.
Is the SKINVIVE™ injection painful?
Most patients find the treatment well tolerated, with only mild discomfort during the session. Individual treatment experiences vary, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to help improve comfort during the procedure.
What can I expect after treatment?
Temporary injection-site reactions, such as swelling, redness, or tenderness, are common and typically subside on their own. Improvements in skin smoothness and the hydrating effects of this injectable beauty treatment often become more noticeable over the two to four weeks following treatment.
Is this treatment compatible with other cosmetic procedures?
Yes, this treatment can often be paired with other aesthetic services such as neuromodulators or additional JUVÉDERM® products to address multiple concerns in a single visit. Your provider at WAVE Medical Aesthetics will help you determine the best combination approach based on your individual goals.
Can SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® treat horizontal neck lines?
Yes. SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is FDA-approved to improve the appearance of horizontal neck lines, commonly known as “tech neck,” which are often associated with frequent downward device use. The same microdroplet hyaluronic acid technology used to improve cheek skin smoothness is applied to the neck, helping soften the appearance of these lines without surgery or significant downtime.
