Skinvive (pronounced skin-vive) is the latest skin-quality filler from the United States, developed from the Juvederm filler line with a refined formula specifically designed for deep skin hydration. Its key feature is Hyaluronic Acid (HA) in microdroplet form — with an extremely small molecular size — that works by activating Aquaporin 3 (AQP3), a protein found in the skin, enabling the skin to retain moisture for up to 9 months.* Read on to find out exactly how it works.
Skinvive replenishes moisture from within the skin. The injected Hyaluronic Acid works by supporting AQP3 to perform at its highest efficiency. Here's how the process unfolds:
The way HA works here is essentially creating an optimal environment for AQP3 in our skin to function at its full capacity — resulting in sustained, long-lasting hydration.
Although Skinvive and traditional filler belong to the same category of treatments, the two have clearly distinct purposes and strengths.
If you're unsure which to choose, start by identifying your main concern. If you want to add volume or reshape a specific area — such as the chin, jawline, or under-eye — traditional filler is the right direction. If your concern is dry, uneven skin, enlarged pores, or a loss of overall skin radiance, Skinvive is the more suitable option.
For those interested in combining both treatments, Skinvive and filler can be done on the same day — addressing facial contouring, volume, and skin hydration all in one visit. That said, a doctor will assess your skin condition and suitability beforehand to ensure the best outcome for each individual.
Anyone with underlying health conditions should consult a doctor before treatment
Skinvive is injected across both cheeks in a distributed pattern, allowing the product to spread evenly and deliver hydration as effectively as possible.
Many people with oily skin think they don’t need hydration, but the truth is that oily skin often lacks moisture. When your skin is dry, your oil glands work harder to produce more oil, leading to a greasy look and clogged pores.
Skinvive is specifically designed to restore hydration to the skin. Once moisture levels are balanced, excess oil production decreases — resulting in less shine and visibly tighter pores.
After treatment, skin will begin to look more hydrated and smoother within 2 weeks. By around 4 weeks, the skin visibly appears more luminous, pores look tighter, and makeup wears noticeably better.
esults can last 6-9 months, depending on your skin type and aftercare.
MEGA CLINIC offers several skin-quality treatment options to address different concerns, including Skinvive, Rejuran, and Rejuran HB — each with its own distinct benefits.
Now that you have an overview of each treatment, here's a closer look at how they compare in detail.

Skinvive is available at many aesthetic clinics, but here's a quick checklist to help you choose the right one:
A: The amount used is typically 1–2 cc per side, depending on your skin structure. This is enough to deliver noticeable hydration, smoothness, and radiance across the treatment area. Skin will begin to look more hydrated and refined within 2 weeks, and by 4 weeks, the complexion appears visibly more luminous, pores look tighter, and makeup wears better.
A: Some minor product elevation may be visible after injection, which typically subsides within 7–14 days. This is not harmful — gentle massage can help it settle more quickly.
A: Both treatments improve hydration and skin quality, but they work differently.
In short: Skinvive boosts hydration while stimulating skin cell function, while Revive focuses on moisture retention and prolonged skin hydration.
A: Skinvive at MEGA CLINIC is imported directly from Allergan Thailand and is approved by both the US FDA and Thai FDA. Our doctors are also trained in injection technique directly by Allergan, so you can feel confident in both the safety and quality of your results.
A: Results last 6–9 months, depending on individual skin structure.
A: Skinvive delivers results from the very first session. Your doctor will assess your skin health and concerns individually. For those with more significant skin concerns, monthly sessions for 3 consecutive months are recommended. If your skin is already in relatively good condition, a 6-month interval is sufficient — or you can wait until you feel the results starting to fade.
A: Yes, both treatments can be done on the same day.
A: Yes, both can be done in the same visit — however, a 30-minute rest period after Ultraformer is recommended before proceeding with Skinvive.
A: After Skinvive, it is recommended to wait at least 1 month before doing Juvelook or Sculptra.
A: For hydration and reducing fine lines under the eyes, Juvelook is the more suitable option. If you're looking to restore volume and brightness to the under-eye area, under-eye filler is recommended for more targeted results.
