Hyaluronic acid micro-injections for smoother texture and glow

What it is
What is SkinVive?
SKINVIVE places very small amounts of hyaluronic acid into the skin. It treats broad areas such as the cheeks evenly and is priced per 1cc.
Although it is also hyaluronic acid, its purpose and depth differ from filler, so the area is set after examining your skin and the change you want.
How it works
How it works
Hyaluronic acid spread evenly in the skin draws in water, smoothing texture and adding glow. It tends to be noticed relatively early, but when you feel it and how long it lasts depend on your skin and lifestyle.

The process
How a visit works
Consultation & AI skin analysis
An AI skin analysis records where your skin is today; one of our co-directors then examines you and decides whether to treat, how strongly and where.
Preparation
After cleansing, numbing cream is applied and the area is set.
Treatment
A fine needle places small amounts evenly in the upper layer of the skin.
After your visit
You go home after a calming finish.
Aftercare
Recovery & aftercare
- Small marks and redness usually settle within a day or two.
- Bruising is occasional and fades in about a week.
- On the day, avoid rubbing the face hard and saunas.
Sessions & spacing
After one session we review progress and decide on a top-up or maintenance according to your skin.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
When will I notice a difference?
As a hyaluronic acid product, hydration tends to be felt fairly early, ranging from days to a few weeks depending on your skin.
How is it different from filler?
Filler builds volume, while SkinVive focuses on texture and glow, so the depth and technique differ.
How long does it last?
It depends on your skin and lifestyle; we review progress to decide on the next session.
Is it the same as a water glow injection?
Both place hyaluronic acid in the skin, but the products and composition differ. We choose based on your concerns and budget.
