Hydration From Within
Skin Quality, Not Volume | Clinique Larrivée
Skin boosters are injectable hyaluronic acid treatments that work within the skin to improve its hydration, glow, and smoothness. Unlike traditional fillers, they are not designed to add volume or change the shape of your face. They improve the quality of the skin itself.
At Clinique Larrivée we offer two, SkinVive by Juvéderm and babyGLOW by Teoxane. Both are performed by trained and licensed professionals under medical delegation, and both leave the skin refreshed, hydrated, and luminous, in a way that looks entirely your own.
The Treatments
Our Skin Booster Menu
Both use hyaluronic acid to improve skin quality. We help you choose the right one during your consultation.
The Glow Injectable
SkinVive by Juvéderm
The first and only Health Canada approved hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable of its kind, indicated to improve the smoothness of the cheeks. Tiny microdroplets are placed just beneath the surface to attract and hold moisture, improving hydration, glow, and smoothness from a single treatment, with results that last up to six months, and up to nine months with optimal care. SkinVive focuses purely on hyaluronic acid for deep, lasting hydration, without added skin nutrients.
babyGLOW is TEOSYAL Redensity 1 placed by precise manual injection across eight points on each side of the face, just beneath the skin, for an immediate, even, natural glow with minimal downtime. It refreshes hydration and skin quality while still looking entirely your own.
What is inside
Deep hydration
A moisture-binding ingredient your skin already makes, for a plump, dewy look.
Skin's building blocks
The nutrients your skin uses to build collagen, for firmness and bounce.
Protect and brighten
Antioxidants that help defend skin from daily damage and bring back radiance.
Nourish and renew
Skin-loving minerals and a vitamin that help skin repair and refresh itself.
For full face rejuvenation, we combine TEOSYAL Redensity 1 with your own platelet-rich plasma, pairing deep hydration with your body's own growth factors to amplify glow, smoothness, and natural skin renewal. It is our most complete approach to overall skin quality.

Deep, lasting hydration from within
A natural, healthy, luminous glow
Improved skin smoothness and texture
Softens superficial fine lines
Does not change facial shape or add volume

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How are skin boosters different from filler?
Dermal fillers add volume and shape, restoring cheeks or defining features. Skin boosters work at a more superficial level to improve hydration, smoothness, and glow, without changing your facial shape or adding volume.
What is the difference between SkinVive and babyGLOW?
Both are hyaluronic acid skin boosters. SkinVive by Juvéderm is a Health Canada approved microdroplet injectable known for lasting hydration. babyGLOW by Teoxane is an injection technique using TEOSYAL Redensity 1 for an immediate, even glow. We help you choose during your consultation.
Is babyGLOW the same as Redensity 1?
They work together but are not the same. TEOSYAL Redensity 1 is the hyaluronic acid product, and we use it in two ways. babyGLOW is Redensity 1 placed by manual injection for an even, natural glow. Redensity 1 with PRP combines the product with your own growth factors for full face rejuvenation and added radiance.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most clients tolerate it very well. A numbing cream is applied beforehand for comfort, and the injections feel like a series of tiny pinches, quick and well tolerated.
When will I see results?
Hydration begins right away, with smoothness and glow developing over the following weeks as the hyaluronic acid settles. Many clients see their best result around four to six weeks.
How long do results last?
SkinVive can last up to six months, and up to nine months with optimal care. Maintenance treatments keep your results looking their best.
Is there any downtime?
Minimal. Some pinpoint redness or tiny bumps at the injection sites are normal and usually settle within a few hours. Most clients return to their day shortly after.
