The newest injectable moisturiser — designed to improve skin smoothness, texture and deliver a lasting, healthy glow that goes far beyond what topical skincare can achieve.
SkinVive is Allergan's latest innovation in skin quality — an injectable hyaluronic acid micro-droplet treatment designed to improve skin smoothness and provide a lasting, natural-looking glow. It is often described as an "injectable moisturiser" — but its effects go far deeper than any topical product can reach.
Rather than adding volume, SkinVive is injected superficially into the dermis, creating a reservoir of hydration that improves skin texture, smoothness and luminosity from within. It is particularly effective for patients who feel their skin lacks glow, feels rough, or shows fine surface texture.
At DermaMedica, SkinVive is often recommended as part of a broader skin quality programme — complementing treatments like Profhilo or polynucleotides for a comprehensive approach to skin health.
SkinVive is injected as micro-droplets just beneath the skin surface using a fine-needle technique across the cheeks and face.
The hyaluronic acid micro-deposits attract water from within the tissue, creating sustained deep dermal hydration that improves skin texture and smoothness progressively.
As hydration is maintained at a deep dermal level, the surface of the skin becomes consistently smoother and more luminous — the characteristic SkinVive result.
Both are skin quality treatments, but they work differently. Profhilo uses a higher concentration of HA and stimulates four types of collagen and elastin — it is more of a bioremodeller. SkinVive focuses on surface smoothness and glow through deep dermal hydration. They complement each other beautifully and are often used in combination.
No — SkinVive is a skin quality treatment, not a volumiser. It improves texture and glow without changing facial structure or adding noticeable volume.
Most patients start with 1–2 sessions and then maintain with a session every 6 months.
Yes — SkinVive pairs well with anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, Profhilo and microneedling as part of a comprehensive skin quality programme.

Every patient is different. If this treatment isn't the right fit, one of these alternatives may be exactly what you need.
Profhilo remodels deeper skin structures while SkinVive targets surface texture — together they address every layer of skin quality.
Polynucleotides repair at a cellular level, enhancing the skin quality improvements delivered by SkinVive.
Combine SkinVive with a HydraFacial for surface cleansing and hydration alongside deep dermal moisturisation.
