What is Skinvive?

Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of skin that can hold many times its weight in water. As we age, levels fall and skin can feel dry, rough and less elastic.

Skinvive replenishes hyaluronic acid directly in the dermis. Beyond hydration, it may activate fibroblasts to support collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production. The formula contains lidocaine to improve comfort. Because it is a lightly cross-linked gel, its effect can last longer than many unlinked boosters, often about six months.

Who it's for

Skinvive may suit people who want:

• More hydrated, supple skin
• A smoother surface and softer fine lines
• A natural glow without adding facial volume
• Improvement in dryness on the cheeks
• Longer-lasting hydration with fewer visits

How we treat it at Egg Clinic

The doctor places very small amounts of Skinvive in the dermis across each cheek and other chosen areas. The microdroplet technique spreads the gel in a thin, even layer so skin looks smoother without changing facial shape.

Treatment areas include the full face, the front cheeks and the side cheeks. It pairs well with lasers or other boosters when timed appropriately.

What to expect

After a consultation, numbing cream is applied, and the injections take about 30 to 45 minutes. The built-in lidocaine helps keep the procedure comfortable, though you may feel pricking.

Small bumps, redness, swelling or bruising may appear and usually settle within a day or a few days. Many people notice smoother, more hydrated skin within a couple of weeks. A single session is usually enough, with maintenance about every six months. Results vary.

Aftercare

• Start gentle cleansing from the evening of treatment and pat dry
• Avoid scrubs and peeling products until the skin settles
• Use a moisturizer, regenerating cream and sunscreen
• Avoid saunas, steam rooms, heavy drinking and intense exercise for 3–7 days
• Avoid pressing on or massaging the treated area

Frequently asked questions

Will Skinvive make my face look fuller?

It is designed to improve skin quality rather than add volume, so your facial shape should look the same while the surface appears smoother and more hydrated.

How long does it last?

Effects commonly last around six months, although this varies with skin type, age and lifestyle.

How is it different from the Water Glow injection?

Both use hyaluronic acid. Skinvive is a lightly cross-linked gel with lidocaine designed for longer-lasting results, while Water Glow is typically repeated monthly.
