SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® works beneath the surface to enhance skin quality, focusing on hydration and smoothness rather than adding volume or altering your features. At Lycia Thornburg, MD Dermatology, this treatment is used to refresh the appearance of the cheeks, helping skin feel softer, look more even, and regain a natural radiance. If your complexion has started to look tired or less vibrant, SKINVIVE™ offers a subtle, refined way to support healthier-looking skin without changing what makes it uniquely yours.
Improve Skin Hydration and Radiance
SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment formulated to improve skin quality rather than change facial shape or volume. Instead of filling fine lines, it works within the skin to increase hydration, smooth texture, and enhance radiance. Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds water, helping your skin feel more supple and resilient. By placing microdroplets just beneath the surface, we can help create a refreshed glow that still looks completely like you.
SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM Treats:
- Dull, tired-looking skin that lacks radiance
- Crepey or rough skin texture in the cheeks
- Dehydration within the skin that reduces suppleness
- Fine surface irregularities that affect smoothness
- Skin that feels less resilient or refreshed than before
- Uneven tone that impacts the overall glow
Your SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM Treatment at Thornburg MD Dermatology
Your experience begins with a thoughtful consultation, during which our providers take the time to understand your skin, your goals, and how you want to feel. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatments. Instead, we evaluate your skin quality, hydration levels, and overall facial balance to curate a plan that enhances what’s already working while addressing what’s changed over time. The goal is simple: healthy, natural-looking skin that reflects how you feel on the inside.
Treatment
Our providers use a series of precise microinjections to place SKINVIVE just beneath the skin’s surface in the cheeks. A fine needle is used to deliver tiny amounts of hyaluronic acid evenly across the treatment area. The process is methodical and controlled, focusing on consistent placement to improve overall skin quality. Numbing may be applied for comfort, and the entire treatment is typically completed within 15 to 30 minutes.
Recovery
You may experience mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or small bumps at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities the same day, although we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and alcohol for 24 hours. Our providers will guide you on gentle skincare and sun protection to support healing and protect your results as your skin begins to rehydrate from within.
Results
The results develop gradually as the hyaluronic acid integrates into your skin and attracts moisture. Many patients begin to notice smoother, more hydrated skin within a few weeks, with continued improvement over time. The outcome is not a dramatic change, but a subtle shift: skin that looks fresher, softer, and more radiant. The results can last around six months, and maintenance treatments can help preserve your glow as part of a long-term plan.
