SkinVive by JUVÉDERM is a hyaluronic acid microdroplet treatment that improves the smoothness and hydration of your skin from within. It is not a filler, so it does not change your shape. It simply gives your cheeks a healthier, more refreshed glow that lasts for months.

SkinVive is an FDA-approved injectable made from hyaluronic acid, a substance your body makes naturally.

What it treats

What SkinVive treats.

SkinVive is FDA-approved to improve the smoothness of the cheeks, and the result is skin that looks healthier and more refreshed overall.

Smoother cheeks

The microdroplets of hyaluronic acid settle into the skin of the cheeks, softening rough texture and fine crepiness so your skin looks and feels smoother.

A natural glow

By boosting the skin’s own hydration from within, SkinVive gives the cheeks a dewy, lit-from-within look, the kind makeup usually sits on top of rather than creates.

Lasting hydration

Unlike a topical serum that works for hours, SkinVive holds hydration in the skin for months, so the improvement is something you see day after day.

Wondering whether SkinVive or a dermal filler is the better fit for your goals? Your injector can help you choose.

Is it right for you?

Am I a candidate?

Most healthy adults who want smoother, more hydrated, better-looking skin are good candidates for SkinVive, whether your skin feels dull and dry, looks a little rough, or you simply want a natural glow. It is a gentle next step if you already have Botox or filler, and an easy place to start if you are new to injectables. SkinVive is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if you have a known allergy to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine, and you should tell your injector about any history of significant scarring. The best way to know is a consultation, where your injector reviews your skin, your history, and your goals.

What to expect

Quick, comfortable, no downtime.

A SkinVive appointment is short and simple, and most people fit it into a lunch break.

Before

Your injector reviews your skin and your goals, then cleanses the cheeks. A topical numbing cream is available beforehand if you would like it, so you stay comfortable the whole time.

During

Using a very fine needle, SkinVive is placed as a series of tiny hyaluronic acid microdroplets just beneath the surface of the skin across the cheeks. Most people describe only tiny pinches, and the whole visit takes about fifteen to thirty minutes.

After

You can return to your day right away. You may notice small bumps or mild redness at the injection points that usually settle within a day or two. Skip heavy exercise and makeup for the rest of the day to let the area settle.

SkinVive vs. filler

SkinVive or filler?

SkinVive and dermal fillers are both made from hyaluronic acid, but they do very different jobs, and understanding the difference is the easiest way to choose between them. A dermal filler is placed deeper to add volume and reshape areas like the cheeks, lips, and folds. SkinVive stays within the skin itself, where it improves smoothness and hydration without changing your contours or adding volume. Neither one is better than the other, they simply solve different problems, and many people use both together, a filler for shape and SkinVive for a smoother, dewier finish on top.

If your goal is more volume or a change in shape, a dermal filler is the better tool for the job. If you want smoother, dewier, more hydrated skin that still looks like your own, SkinVive is designed for exactly that. At your consultation your injector can look at your skin and your goals and, when it makes sense, combine the two for a balanced, natural result.

Investment

How much does SkinVive cost in Augusta?

SkinVive is priced per treatment, and many people choose an optional touch-up about a month after the first visit to help the results last their fullest. The exact cost depends on your plan, and you will receive a clear quote at your consultation.

SkinVive is a hydration and smoothness treatment, not a volumizing filler, so it is priced on its own rather than by the syringe of filler. Ask about current specials and membership pricing. Financing is available.

Results

How long does SkinVive last?

SkinVive works gradually. Your skin looks smoother and more hydrated over the first couple of weeks and tends to look its best around four weeks.

How your results build and last

  • Smoothness and hydration improve over the first two to four weeks as the hyaluronic acid settles in.
  • In studies, the improvement in skin smoothness lasted up to about six months for many people.
  • An optional touch-up about a month after your first treatment can help your results reach their fullest and last longer.

Results vary from person to person based on your skin and your routine. Your injector can plan a refresh when you are ready to keep the glow going.

Good to know

SkinVive Questions.

What is SkinVive by JUVÉDERM?

SkinVive by JUVÉDERM is an injectable hyaluronic acid microdroplet treatment. Instead of adding volume or changing your shape the way a dermal filler does, it is placed just under the surface of the skin to improve smoothness and hydration, so your cheeks look more refreshed and have a healthy glow.

A dermal filler adds volume and reshapes areas like the cheeks, lips, and folds. SkinVive works within the skin itself to improve its smoothness and hydration, without changing your contours. Many people have both, filler for shape and SkinVive for a smoother, dewier finish.

SkinVive is FDA-approved and made from hyaluronic acid, a substance the body produces naturally. Like any injectable it has risks, which is why it should be placed by a trained injector in a medical setting. At 7 Seas your treatment is performed by a licensed cosmetic injector and supervised by a board-certified plastic surgeon, and your injector reviews your health history first.

Most people feel only tiny pinches as the microdroplets are placed. The needle is very fine and a topical numbing cream is available if you would like it. The visit itself usually takes about fifteen to thirty minutes.

In studies, the improvement in skin smoothness lasted up to about six months for many people. An optional touch-up about a month after your first treatment can help your results last their fullest, and you can refresh with another treatment when you are ready.

You may notice your skin looking smoother and more hydrated over the first couple of weeks as the hyaluronic acid settles in. Results continue to refine, and many people feel their skin looks its best around four weeks.

There is little to no downtime. You may have small bumps, mild redness, or occasional bruising at the injection points that usually settle within a day or two. Most people return to their normal routine right away.

SkinVive is FDA-approved to improve the smoothness of the cheeks. Your injector can talk with you about whether it is a good fit for your skin and your goals during your consultation.

SkinVive is priced per treatment, and your exact cost depends on your plan and whether you add an optional touch-up. You will receive a clear quote at your visit, and financing is available.

Yes. SkinVive pairs well with Botox, SkinVive, and dermal fillers because it does a different job, smoothing and hydrating the skin rather than relaxing muscles or adding volume. Your injector can build a plan that combines them for a balanced, natural result.

Divya is truly the best! I have never been to a medical spa where someone took so much time to explain every single detail, what she was doing, why she was doing it, and what to expect. Her knowledge and professionalism immediately made me feel comfortable and confident. She never rushed me, answered all of my questions, and made the entire experience feel so personal. Divya, you’ve gained a customer for life, please don’t ever leave🥹🩵🙏🏻 In a smaller area like Augusta, it’s incredibly hard to find someone who is truly knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. I can honestly say I finally found my person😘My results look so natural, exactly what I wanted, and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Divya! I can’t recommend you enough❤️😘

Divya is truly the best!! She's honest, knowledgeable, and really listens. I always feel comfortable trusting her recommendations - so much so, I drive from Athens to Augusta just to have my treatments done by her. I've never had anything but a great experience with Divya.

DIVYA IS THE QUEEN OF INJECTIONS! Went to 7 seas about a month ago and got Botox in my neck and parts of my face. Divya was so knowledgeable and gave me advice on where to inject and how much. She knew exactly what I needed without going overboard. Now that it’s fully set in, I could not be happier specifically with my neck as well as my lip flip!
