Hydrate. Smooth. Refresh Your Skin.
Healthy-looking skin is not only about reducing wrinkles or restoring volume. Sometimes, the goal is simply to achieve smoother, more hydrated, radiant-looking skin.
At Medical Aesthetics and Lasers in Williamsport, PA, we offer SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM®, an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment designed to improve skin smoothness from within. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that are primarily used to restore or add volume, SKINVIVE™ is injected within the skin to improve its quality and smoothness.
SKINVIVE™ is FDA approved to improve cheek skin smoothness in adults over 21. In June 2026, the FDA also expanded its approved indication to include reducing neck lines to improve the appearance of the neck.
What Is SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM®?
SKINVIVE™ is part of the trusted JUVÉDERM® family of injectable treatments. Its formula contains hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the body that helps the skin retain moisture.
Rather than dramatically changing your facial contours, SKINVIVE™ is designed to create a subtle improvement in the appearance and feel of your skin.
Think of it as an injectable approach to achieving smoother, refreshed-looking skin without changing what makes you look like you.
How Does SKINVIVE™ Work?
SKINVIVE™ is administered through a series of small injections into the treatment area. The hyaluronic acid gel works within the skin to improve smoothness and help create a refreshed appearance.
The FDA-approved SKINVIVE™ formula also contains 0.3% lidocaine, which helps reduce discomfort during injection.
Treatment is minimally invasive and can typically be incorporated easily into a busy lifestyle.
What Can SKINVIVE™ Treat?
SKINVIVE™ can be used to improve:
- Cheek skin smoothness
- Skin hydration appearance
- Fine lines on the cheeks
- Neck lines
- Overall skin quality and appearance
The FDA currently approves SKINVIVE™ for improving cheek skin smoothness and reducing neck lines in adults over the age of 21.
SKINVIVE™ for Smoother Cheeks
If your skin appears dull, rough, or less refreshed than it once did, SKINVIVE™ offers a different approach from traditional fillers.
The goal is not necessarily to make your cheeks look larger or more sculpted. Instead, SKINVIVE™ is injected within the skin to improve cheek skin smoothness.
In the clinical study supporting its original FDA approval, improvements in cheek skin smoothness lasted at least six months.
SKINVIVE™ for Neck Lines
SKINVIVE™ now offers another exciting application for patients concerned about the appearance of their neck.
In June 2026, the FDA approved an expanded indication allowing SKINVIVE™ to be injected intradermally and/or subdermally to reduce neck lines and improve neck appearance in adults over 21.
This makes SKINVIVE™ an appealing injectable option for patients who want to address visible lines on the neck without undergoing surgery.
SKINVIVE™ vs. Traditional Dermal Fillers
While SKINVIVE™ belongs to the JUVÉDERM® family, it serves a different aesthetic purpose than many traditional fillers.
Traditional JUVÉDERM® fillers may be used to add or restore volume, enhance facial contours, or address specific wrinkles and folds. SKINVIVE™, on the other hand, focuses on improving skin smoothness and quality rather than creating significant facial volume.
For some patients, the two types of treatments may complement one another as part of a personalized aesthetic plan.
Benefits of SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM®
Patients love treatments that create noticeable improvements without making them look overdone. SKINVIVE™ is designed with this natural-looking philosophy in mind.
Benefits may include:
- Smoother-looking skin
- Improved appearance of skin hydration
- Refreshed, healthy-looking skin
- Improvement in cheek skin smoothness
- Reduction in the appearance of neck lines
- Minimally invasive treatment
- Subtle, natural-looking improvement
- Results that can last for months
In the clinical study for cheek treatment, participants reported increased satisfaction with how hydrated, radiant, refreshed, and healthy their skin appeared following treatment.
How Long Does SKINVIVE™ Last?
SKINVIVE™ is not a permanent treatment.
In the clinical study supporting the cheek indication, improvement in skin smoothness lasted six months for the majority of participants.
Individual results and treatment longevity can vary. During your consultation at Medical Aesthetics and Lasers, your provider can discuss what you can realistically expect based on your skin and aesthetic goals.
What Is the Treatment Like?
Your appointment begins with a consultation to evaluate your skin and determine whether SKINVIVE™ is appropriate for you.
Once your treatment plan has been established, small amounts of SKINVIVE™ are strategically injected into the targeted areas. Because the treatment is designed to improve the skin rather than dramatically reshape the face, injections can be precisely placed according to your individual anatomy and concerns.
Is There Downtime After SKINVIVE™?
SKINVIVE™ is minimally invasive, but temporary injection-site reactions can occur.
Clinical study participants reported reactions including redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, pain, firmness, lumps or bumps, discoloration, and itching. Most reported reactions were mild or moderate, although more significant reactions can occur.
Your provider will review aftercare instructions and discuss what you should expect following your appointment.
Who Is a Good Candidate for SKINVIVE™?

- Want smoother-looking cheek skin

- Want your complexion to appear more refreshed
