Your Laser Skin Care is excited to announce a new treatment to refresh your skin and smooth fine lines. We are now adding Skinvive to our skincare lineup to help our patients get a natural and healthy glow without changing their natural facial features.
Skinvive is a new non-invasive injectable approved by the FDA in May 2022. What makes Skindive different is its use of hyaluronic acid microdroplets that are injected into the skin, resulting in smooth, hydrated, and revitalised skin without changing the shape of your face. The result is a natural appearance that restores the skin’s natural glow.
Skinvive’s key ingredient is hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar molecule that is found in the body. Its main purpose is to help the skin to retain moisture. Previous generations of dermal filler products have used a thick injectable gel version of hyaluronic acid, but Skinvive works a bit differently.
Skinvive uses tiny microdroplets of hyaluronic acid that are injected below the surface of the skin into the “dermis,” the skin layer that retains moisture and gives the skin its elasticity.
Skinvive can be injected into the following areas:
After an initial injection patients can expect incremental improvement to their skin texture within a couple of days, achieving radiant skin after about a month. Touch-up treatments can be performed after thirty days, but most patients will see their results last for up to six months.
The hyaluronic acid microdroplets are distributed evenly across the dermal layer of the skin, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles to give skin a more youthful lift and appearance.
Unlike regular moisturizers, Skinvive works below the surface of the skin to provide deeper hydration, healing and refreshing the skin from within, leaving it soft and moisturized.
By replenishing the hyaluronic acid that skin naturally loses over time, Skinvive helps reverse the effects of aging and sun exposure, reducing dullness and dryness for a smoother, more refreshed complexion.
Skinvive is approved for patients between the ages of 21 – 55 who want smoother cheeks without adding volume to their face.
If you have an active infection, you will have to wait for it to clear up before receiving any injections.

Injectables like Juvaderm and botox can achieve impressive aesthetic results, but may not have the long-lasting results of Skinvive, if you want your skin to have a NATURAL real-life “Photoshop effect” this injectable is for you.
According to the FDA patient labeling information patients who received Skinvive reported “high satisfaction” with their glowing and rejuvenated skin after treatment.
When you come in for a Juvéderm Skinvive treatment, one of our doctors will do a complimentary evaluation to determine if you are a good candidate. The doctor will review all your options, possible side effects and treatment expectations.
Skinvive is non-invasive injectable; most patients will experience little to no side effects. You can return to most normal activities, except for intense exercise and sun exposure, immediately after injection.
