SkinVive Marlow | Injectable Moisturiser | DermaMedica

Skin Quality & Rejuvenation

SkinVive —
Injectable Glow

Q: What is the difference between SkinVive and Profhilo?

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.

Q: Will SkinVive add volume to my face?

No — SkinVive is a skin quality treatment, not a volumiser. It improves texture and glow without changing facial structure or adding noticeable volume.

Q: How many sessions do I need?

Most patients start with 1–2 sessions and then maintain with a session every 6 months.

Q: Can SkinVive be used alongside other treatments?

Yes — SkinVive pairs well with anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, Profhilo and microneedling as part of a comprehensive skin quality programme.

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.

About This Treatment

SkinVive —
Injectable Glow

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.

How It Works

The treatment
process.

Superficial Injection

SkinVive is injected as micro-droplets just beneath the skin surface using a fine-needle technique across the cheeks and face.

Deep Hydration

The hyaluronic acid micro-deposits attract water from within the tissue, creating sustained deep dermal hydration that improves skin texture and smoothness progressively.

Sustained Glow

As hydration is maintained at a deep dermal level, the surface of the skin becomes consistently smoother and more luminous — the characteristic SkinVive result.

Common Questions

Everything you
need to know.

What is the difference between SkinVive and Profhilo?

Although both treatments use hyaluronic acid, Profhilo is considered a bio-remodelling treatment that improves skin laxity and texture, whereas Skinvive works more superficially to enhance hydration and skin quality for a smoother, more radiant appearance.

Will SkinVive add volume to my face?

No — Skinvive is not designed to add volume or change facial contours like traditional dermal fillers. Instead, it works to improve skin hydration, smoothness, and overall skin quality for a fresher, more radiant appearance.

How many sessions do I need?

Most patients require just one initial Skinvive treatment, with results lasting up to 6 months. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to help prolong results.

Can SkinVive be used alongside other treatments?

Yes — Skinvive can be safely combined with other aesthetic treatments to enhance overall skin quality and rejuvenation results. It is often used alongside anti-wrinkle treatments, dermal fillers, and medical-grade skincare.

Medical note: All treatments at DermaMedica are administered by, or under the supervision of, GMC-registered doctors. A face-to-face medical consultation is required before treatment. Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Full safety information is provided at consultation.
