Are you searching for the best solution for radiant and glowing skin? You are in the right place. SKINVIVE is an innovative injectable treatment that is taking the beauty world by storm.
The road to hydrated skin and improved skin quality needs to go beyond skin products that only treat the skin’s surface. That’s why at Time Clinic we offer SKINVIVE by Juvéderm.
It works beneath the surface of the skin to restore your skin’s natural beauty with visible improvements in skin texture and skin smoothness.
Now we have your attention, let’s break down everything this revolutionary treatment can do in this ultimate guide to SKINVIVE.
From how it works and what results you can expect, to why it is unlike traditional dermal fillers, we have you covered.

What is SKINVIVE?
SKINVIVE by Juvéderm is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid skin booster that works to improve skin hydration and overall skin quality from the inside out.
Many people think that SKINVIVE is the same as hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. But in fact, these aesthetic treatments do very different things.
Dermal fillers add volume and enhance your facial contours – think lip fillers, chin fillers and jawline fillers.
SKINVIVE, on the other hand, is all about skin rejuvenation.
It focusses on deeply hydrating below the skin’s surface to help you achieve more radiant skin and better skin health.
If you want to improve skin glow and treat multiple skin concerns, such as fine lines and uneven skin texture, then SKINVIVE might be the answer you are looking for.
Benefits of SKINVIVE treatment – glowing and hydrated skin
Yes, SKINVIVE treatment can improve skin smoothness and give you more radiant skin. But it actually works much harder than that to:
- Provide deep hydration – which means a healthy, glowing complexion and a more hydrated skin barrier.
- Smoother skin texture – including fewer lines and wrinkles, and more plump skin
- Rejuvenates aging skin – by promoting collagen production which enhances skin firmness for a more youthful appearance.
- Address multiple skin concerns in one treatment – so you see brighter skin, better skin elasticity and improved skin quality
This innovative treatment is also suitable for all skin types (including combination skin). We can also pair it with other treatments to improve your skin care game.
SKINVIVE treatment is minimally invasive, which means minimal discomfort and less downtime. As a result, you can achieve more youthful skin without having to take time off work.
How does SKINVIVE work?
The consultation
The first step is to meet with one of our medical team, so that we can assess your skin, discuss your skin issues, and look at your medical history.
We will also talk through how the treatment works, your skin goals, and develop a tailored treatment plan to help you achieve them.
The SKINVIVE procedure
Your SKINVIVE treatment will start with us cleansing your skin to remove any dirt and debris. We will also apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area to ensure you feel minimal discomfort.
Your doctor or practitioner will inject the highly refined hyaluronic acid micro-droplets into the skin using a very fine needle. The most common areas of the face include the lower face and cheek area.
The micro-droplets of hyaluronic acid help your skin to attract and retain water. This results in plumper, more hydrated skin, and a more radiant complexion.
The treatment should take around 30 minutes to complete. We will apply a soothing cream to the injection sites afterwards to help reduce any redness and swelling.
SKINVIVE aftercare
You may see some mild redness and swelling around the injection sites. This is completely normal and should go down within 24-48 hours.
There is minimal downtime with this treatment, so you can go back to work on the same day.
We will provide you with aftercare instructions to help you take care of your skin and get the most out of your treatment.
We advise you to not wear make-up for the first 24 hours to avoid causing any irritation or active skin infections.
You should also avoid sun exposure, excessive heat, and drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours.
SKINVIVE results – what can I expect?
Most patients start to see visible results in the first few days after their treatment.
Your skin’s natural glow is enhanced and your skin looks more plump and healthy.
The full results show in the next 2-4 weeks, especially as the treatment stimulates collagen production.
This is when you will see fewer fine lines and firmer skin.
The results tend to last up to six months. For some patients this can be longer.
This will depend on your skin type, lifestyle and your skincare routine.
How to maintain your results
To get the most out of your SKINVIVE treatment, we recommend:
- Following a skincare routine that focusses on skin hydration and barrier protection
- Booking in maintenance treatments every six months
- Always wearing adequate sun protection. Factor 50 is the best
Remember, maintaining youthful skin takes more than having a skin treatment.
This is a great start for skin rejuvenation, but you then need to follow a long-term skin care plan to see optimal results.
