At Berkshire Aesthetics, we are committed to bringing our patients the most innovative, effective, and clinically proven treatments in aesthetic medicine. One of the latest additions to our offering is SkinVive™ by Juvéderm®, the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) microdroplet injectable designed to improve skin smoothness and hydration from within. Perfect for those seeking refreshed, glowing skin with minimal downtime, SkinVive represents the new era of injectable skincare.
In this comprehensive guide, you’ll discover everything you need to know about SkinVive—from how it works and who it’s for, to treatment benefits, safety, and what you can expect during and after your session at Berkshire Aesthetics.
SkinVive™ by Juvéderm® is an innovative injectable treatment designed to improve skin quality rather than add volume or structure. It is composed of modified hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, which helps retain moisture and maintain skin elasticity. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume to the cheeks or lips, SkinVive is strategically injected in microdroplets to hydrate and smooth the skin from within, giving it a radiant and healthy glow.
SkinVive is FDA-approved for use in the cheek area, but the formulation and technique have broader aesthetic applications when administered by skilled professionals. At Berkshire Aesthetics, we personalise every SkinVive treatment to achieve optimal results while maintaining a natural look.
Choosing SkinVive at Berkshire Aesthetics means unlocking a range of skin-enhancing benefits:
SkinVive boosts the skin’s internal moisture levels, improving elasticity and suppleness for a dewy, plump appearance.
With its unique microdroplet technique, SkinVive smooths the skin’s surface, reducing roughness and uneven texture for a more refined complexion.
Hydrated skin reflects light better, contributing to a natural, lit-from-within glow.
SkinVive treatments are quick and painless, with no need for recovery time, making them ideal for busy lifestyles.
SkinVive provides visible results that last up to 6 months, making it a cost-effective skin maintenance option.
SkinVive is ideal for individuals who:
Want to improve the overall appearance of their skin without changing facial structure.
Are concerned about dullness, rough skin texture, or loss of hydration.
Prefer a non-surgical, minimally invasive solution with natural-looking results.
Are seeking a complementary treatment to other injectables like Botox® or dermal fillers.
It’s suitable for all skin types and tones, making it a versatile treatment option. Whether you’re in your 20s and want to prevent early signs of ageing or in your 40s and beyond, seeking rejuvenation, SkinVive can be tailored to your skin goals.
SkinVive’s formulation is based on hyaluronic acid, a molecule capable of holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. When injected as microdroplets just beneath the skin’s surface, SkinVive delivers hydration exactly where it is needed—within the dermis.
Unlike traditional fillers, SkinVive does not reshape facial contours. Instead, it improves skin quality at the cellular level to create a smoother skin texture and more even tone.
The procedure involves:
Consultation – At Berkshire Aesthetics, we begin with a thorough consultation to assess your skin, understand your goals, and develop a personalised treatment plan.
Injection Process – The treatment takes approximately 20–30 minutes. Tiny amounts of SkinVive are injected across the cheeks using a precise grid-like pattern.
Aftercare – Minimal downtime is needed. Patients can return to their day immediately, with only mild swelling or redness that subsides within 24–48 hours.
Located in the heart of Berkshire, our award-winning clinic is led by experienced aesthetic professionals who are at the forefront of non-surgical treatments. Our commitment to safety, artistry, and innovation ensures your SkinVive experience is effective and enjoyable.

What to Expect: Your SkinVive Journey at Berkshire AestheticsHere’s what a typical SkinVive treatment journey looks like:
Your journey begins with a comprehensive skin assessment and consultation. We’ll review your skincare routine, discuss concerns, and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
After cleansing and prepping the skin, the practitioner will use fine needles to deliver precise microdroplets of SkinVive into the cheek area. The product’s numbing agent minimises discomfort.
Post-treatment, you may notice a soft glow and subtle plumpness. Full effects develop over 1–2 weeks as the skin becomes more hydrated.
Aftercare is minimal. For 24 hours, avoid intense exercise, heat exposure, and makeup. Results can last up to 6 months, after which a maintenance session may be recommended.
SkinVive contains hyaluronic acid like dermal fillers, but it’s not used to add volume. It’s designed to enhance skin hydration and texture, making it more like an injectable moisturiser.
Results typically last 6 months, though this varies depending on skin type, lifestyle, and skincare habits.
Discomfort is minimal. SkinVive includes lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, to reduce any pain during injection.
There is no significant downtime. Some people experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising, which resolves quickly.
Absolutely. SkinVive pairs well with anti-wrinkle injections, laser treatments, and medical-grade facials like the HydraFacial. It’s often used to complement other skin rejuvenation plans.
More men seek aesthetic treatments to maintain a youthful, healthy appearance without looking “done.” SkinVive is ideal for male patients wanting subtle skin quality, hydration, and texture improvements without changing facial structure or masculinity.
At Berkshire Aesthetics, we offer discreet and tailored SkinVive treatments for men, guided by an understanding of male anatomy and aesthetic preferences.
While SkinVive provides deep hydration and improved skin quality, it works best with an effective skincare regime. We recommend medical-grade products such as:
Obagi Nu-Derm® System – For pigmentation and tone.
ZO Skin Health® – For exfoliation and active skin renewal.
