SkinVive by Juvéderm | Clinique Larrivée
SkinVive by Juvéderm is the first and only Health Canada-approved hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable of its kind. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, SkinVive is not designed to add volume or change the shape of your face. It is designed to improve skin hydration, glow, and smoothness from within.
Tiny microdroplets of hyaluronic acid are evenly distributed just beneath the surface of the skin, attracting and retaining moisture to deliver deep, lasting hydration — with results that last up to 6 months, and up to 9 months with optimal treatment.
At Clinique Larrivée, treatments are performed by trained and licensed professionals under medical delegation. The result is healthier-looking skin, smoother texture, and a luminous, refreshed glow that is unmistakably your own.
How It Compares
Skin Boosters vs Dermal Fillers
Both are made from hyaluronic acid, but they serve very different purposes — and one isn't a replacement for the other.
SkinVive
Skin Quality
A smooth, flowing HA gel injected as microdroplets just beneath the skin's surface. Hydrates from within, improves smoothness, and supports glow — without adding any volume or changing facial structure.
Dermal Fillers
Volume & Contour
A firmer HA gel injected more deeply to restore lost volume, define features, and shape facial contours. Designed for structural enhancement — cheeks, lips, chin, jawline.
Common Treatment Areas
Where It Can Be Used
SkinVive is Health Canada approved for treatment of the face (cheek and forehead) and neck — improving skin quality without changing facial volume or shape:
01
Cheeks
The primary indication — improving smoothness, hydration, and that healthy, lit-from-within glow across the midface.
02
Forehead
Softens superficial fine lines and improves skin smoothness across the forehead.
03
Neck
Refines crepey texture and supports hydration in an often-neglected area that shows age quickly.

Your Experience
What to Expect
Every SkinVive treatment is a thoughtful, comfortable process designed around your skin and your goals.

Consultation
We assess your skin quality, discuss your hydration and glow goals, and design a treatment plan tailored to you. We'll explain what to expect and answer every question before proceeding.
02
Treatment — 15 to 30 minutes
Performed in a calm, private setting. A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. Tiny microdroplets are evenly distributed just beneath the surface of the skin — quick, precise, and well-tolerated.

Minimal downtime. Some pinpoint redness or small bumps at injection sites are normal and typically resolve within hours. You can return to your day shortly after.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Traditional dermal fillers add volume and shape — they restore cheeks, define jawlines, or plump lips. SkinVive is different. It is designed to improve skin quality, smoothness, and hydration without changing facial volume or shape. It works at a more superficial layer of the skin and is distributed as microdroplets, not deeper structural injections.
Most clients tolerate the treatment very well. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to maximize comfort. The microdroplet injection sensation is described as a series of tiny pinches — quick and well-tolerated.
Hydration begins immediately. Visible improvements in skin smoothness and glow develop over the following weeks as the hyaluronic acid integrates with your skin. Most clients see their best results around 4 to 6 weeks after treatment.
SkinVive delivers hydration improvements for up to 6 months, with results lasting up to 9 months with optimal treatment. Maintenance treatments every 6 to 9 months help sustain results long-term.
Yes. SkinVive is designed to be compatible with other aesthetic treatments — including Botox, dermal fillers, microneedling, and laser. Combining treatments is a thoughtful, layered approach to overall facial rejuvenation. We'll discuss the right sequence during your consultation.
Minimal. Some pinpoint redness or tiny bumps at injection sites are normal and typically resolve within a few hours. Mild bruising may occur in some clients. Most return to their day shortly after treatment.
