ABOUT SKINVIVE™
What is
SkinVive™ (Volite™)?
SkinVive™ (Volite™)?
SkinVive™ is a skin booster formulated with Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring compound in the body. When injected into the skin, the hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water—for next-level hydration. This results in a revitalized, glowing complexion.
ABOUT SKINVIVE™
How Does SkinVive™ Work?
Precise injections of hyaluronic acid are strategically administered throughout the facial and neck area, targeting the layers of the skin known as the dermis. By nourishing the skin internally, HA works to enhance skin quality, conditioning it and leading to noticeable improvements lasting up to 6-9 months.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which primarily aim to add volume to specific areas of the face, SkinVive™ is an injectable designed to enhance skin quality through hydration. This distinction makes SkinVive™ an ideal choice for those seeking benefits beyond volumization, such as improved skin hydration, texture, and overall radiance.
As a result, it provides long-term skin health benefits that traditional fillers do not offer. At a cellular level, SkinVive™ promotes aquaporin activity, which facilitates better water transport within skin cells, and enhances collagen networks, leading to firmer, more elastic skin. This unique mechanism sets SkinVive™ apart from traditional fillers, offering a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.

Treatment Risks
Treatment Risks
SkinVive™ has manageable side effects. Serious complications are extremely rare, especially under the care of our experienced Skin Matters team.
- Expect temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at SkinVive™ injection sites; these should subside within days.
- Allergic Reactions are rare, as SkinVive™ is primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body.
- Infection. Though incredibly rare, a risk of infection can occur if the injector is improperly trained and/or does not use sterile tools, which can introduce bacteria into the injection site. Avoiding contact with the treated area for several hours reduces infection risk.
- Refraining from vigorous exercise and heavy activities for the initial 24 hours post-procedure is advisable.
