Skinvive in Edina

Skinvive by Juvéderm is an FDA-approved injectable that improves cheek skin smoothness and hydration without adding volume or changing the shape of your face. At Be Your Kind in Edina, our licensed injectors use Skinvive to place tiny microdroplets of hyaluronic acid within the skin, supporting deep hydration for a smoother, more radiant complexion that still looks like you.

Skinvive is a skin quality treatment, not a filler. It suits clients who notice dullness, rough texture, or dehydrated-looking skin on the cheeks and want a natural-looking glow that skincare alone has not delivered. Every Skinvive treatment starts with a consultation, so your plan fits your skin, your goals, and any other treatments you are considering.

About The Treatment

What is Skinvive?

Skinvive by Juvéderm is the first hyaluronic acid (HA) microdroplet injectable approved by the FDA to improve cheek skin smoothness in adults over 21. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the skin and helps it hold on to moisture, but levels decline with age, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors. Over time, this can leave skin looking dull, feeling rough, and losing its natural glow.

Unlike a traditional dermal filler, Skinvive does not lift or contour. Instead, small amounts of HA are placed evenly within the skin itself to support hydration from within, leaving the cheeks looking smoother and more radiant. The formula also contains lidocaine to help keep you comfortable during treatment.

More Hydrated, Refreshed Skin

Skinvive by Juvéderm delivers hyaluronic acid within the skin to help retain moisture and softness. This supports a more hydrated, refreshed appearance in the cheeks, particularly when your skin looks dull or feels rough.

Keep Your Natural Face Shape

Skinvive focuses on skin quality without adding volume or changing your facial shape. Tiny microdroplets are placed within the skin, making it an option for people who want a refreshed appearance while keeping their natural contours.

Softer, Smoother Cheeks

Skinvive is clinically shown to improve cheek skin smoothness. By supporting hydration beneath the surface, it helps the cheeks look and feel smoother, addressing skin quality rather than lifting features or filling deeper folds.

Care Tailored to Your Skin

The aim is a subtle improvement in how hydrated, smooth, and radiant your skin looks. Skinvive enhances skin quality while preserving your natural features, with results that vary from person to person.

Get Back to Your Day Sooner

Skinvive generally involves minimal downtime, although temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or small bumps can occur. Your provider explains what to expect and gives aftercare guidance, including limiting strenuous exercise, extensive sun or heat exposure, and alcohol for the first 24 hours.

Minimal Downtime

Designed to fit into your routine, with minimal interruption to daily activities.

Is Skinvive Right for You?

Skinvive may suit you if your main concern is the feel and appearance of the skin on your cheeks. Use the points below to see whether it matches what you want to change.
Who is a Good Candidate
  • You are over 21. Skinvive is approved for adults over 21 and has been studied across all skin tones.
  • Your cheeks look dehydrated or feel rough. It may suit you if these are your main concerns, rather than acne, scarring, or dark spots.
  • You want to improve your skin without changing your features. You are happy with your facial shape and are not looking to restore lost volume, lift sagging skin, or reshape your cheeks.
  • You are comfortable having injections and allowing for recovery. Downtime is usually minimal, but visible bruising, swelling, or small bumps can temporarily affect how your skin looks. Allow for this when planning around an event.
Who Should Consult With Us First?

Every client needs a suitability assessment. It is especially important to tell your provider about the following before scheduling treatment:

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding. Skinvive has not been studied in these circumstances, so discuss postponing treatment with your provider.
  • Severe allergies or previous reactions to fillers. Skinvive must not be used in people with certain severe allergy histories, or allergies to lidocaine or the bacterial proteins in the product.
  • Active skin problems in the treatment area. Pimples, rashes, sores, or infections may mean treatment needs to wait until your skin has healed.
  • Medications or immune-suppressing treatment. Share your full medication and supplement list. Some can increase bruising, bleeding, or infection risk. Do not stop prescribed medication without advice from your prescribing clinician.
  • A history of unusual scarring or pigmentation changes. These need individual assessment before treatment.
  • Recent or planned skin procedures. Tell us about fillers, laser treatments, peels, or other procedures so your provider can assess treatment timing.

If your main concern is volume loss, deeper folds, sagging, acne scars, or pigmentation, ask us which treatment best matches that concern. Skinvive is designed for cheek smoothness and may not be the most appropriate starting point.

The Process

How Skinvive Works?

Pre Care

Your appointment begins with a consultation to review your skin, goals, and medical history. If medically appropriate, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E for about 7 days beforehand, and avoid alcohol for 24 hours, as these can increase the risk of bruising. Plan treatment at least 2–4 weeks before any major event.

During Treatment

After cleansing the skin, your provider places tiny microdroplets of Skinvive evenly across the cheeks using a fine needle. Skinvive contains lidocaine for comfort, and treatment typically takes around 15-30 minutes.

Post Care

Mild redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, or small bumps at the injection sites are common and usually settle within 7 days. Avoid strenuous exercise, extensive sun or heat exposure, and alcohol for 24 hours after treatment. Your provider will give you personalized aftercare instructions before you leave.

Results

Many clients notice smoother, more hydrated-looking skin within a few days to two weeks, with results continuing to develop over the following weeks. Skinvive results can last up to six months with optimal treatment, which may include a touch-up. Most clients book maintenance treatments every six months or so.

Skinvive vs Dermal Filler

Skin Texture vs Lost Volume

Skinvive is designed for cheeks that look dehydrated or feel rough, improving skin smoothness without reshaping the face. Dermal filler addresses a different concern: lost fullness, deeper folds, or features you want to define. The choice depends on whether you want better skin quality or a change in volume.

Cheeks vs Other Facial Areas

Skinvive is FDA-approved to improve skin smoothness on the cheeks. Dermal fillers have different approved uses depending on the product, including adding fullness to lips or cheeks and improving certain facial folds. The area you want to treat helps determine which option is suitable.

How the Injections Differ

Skinvive is placed as tiny droplets within the skin across the cheeks. Dermal filler is placed in selected areas at a depth suited to the product and the change being made. Both involve injections, but the placement and amount of product depend on the treatment goal.

How Long Results Last

Skinvive can improve cheek smoothness for up to six months with optimal treatment, which may include a touch-up. Dermal filler longevity varies by product and treatment area, so there is no single timeframe for every filler. Your provider will explain the expected duration and maintenance for your recommended option.

I can’t say enough great things about Hailey! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel completely comfortable and confident in her hands. She took the time to listen to my concerns, explained the process in detail, and answered all of my questions with patience and professionalism. The Botox and lip filler results are absolutely stunning, natural, balanced, and exactly what I hoped for (if not better!).
