Skinvive Treatment Clinic: The Skin-Booster Injectable for Hydrated, Smoother-Looking Skin

If you want fresher-looking skin without changing your facial shape, Skinvive could be the sweet spot. This next-generation skin booster injectable uses microdroplet hyaluronic acid to enhance hydration and skin smoothness with minimal downtime. At Dr Liesel Holler in Chislehurst, Kent, we’re introducing Skinvive as part of our consultation-led approach to naturally radiant skin for adults aged 30-75 who prefer subtle, sophisticated results.

In this guide, you’ll discover how Skinvive works, who it’s for, how it compares with alternatives, what the treatment feels like, and how to maintain your glow. We’ll also answer popular patient questions and show you how to take the next step with a personalised consultation.

Quick answer for searchers: Skinvive is a microdroplet hyaluronic acid treatment that improves skin hydration and smoothness without adding volume, ideal if you want a healthy glow and refined texture with a soft, natural finish.

What is Skinvive & how does it work?

Skinvive is a hyaluronic acid (HA) gel that’s placed intradermally using tiny microdroplets across the treatment area (commonly the cheeks). Unlike traditional fillers that add volume, Skinvive’s goal is skin quality enhancement – boosting hydration, skin smoothness, and light reflection for a fresher look.

Why microdroplets matter: placing HA in small, precise points helps create a hydration reservoir in the dermis. This supports smoother texture and a subtle radiance rather than structure or lift..

Key differences from fillers

  • Non-volumising: designed for glow and texture, not shape change.
  • Intradermal placement: sits within the skin rather than deep to it.
  • Minimal downtime: most patients return to normal activity the same day.

Benefits of Skinvive for hydration & glow

Patients choose Skinvive when they want complexion benefits that read as “well-rested” rather than “done.” Reported benefits include:

  • Smoother-looking skin texture (fine lines appear softened)
  • Improved hydration and a healthy glow
  • No change to facial proportions (non-volumising)
  • Quick treatment with minimal downtime
  • Complements a holistic skin plan alongside skincare, energy-based devices, and lifestyle
  • Can be used to refresh multiple delicate areas – including the vertical lip lines, neck, and décolletage – for a cohesive, healthy glow.

Skinvive vs other skin boosters & injectables

Choosing the right modality depends on what you want to improve:

Skinvive vs Profhilo

  • Skinvive: microdroplet HA for hydration and smoothness in the dermis; non-volumising aesthetic.
  • Profhilo: high-purity HA injected at bio-aesthetic points to improve skin laxity and global hydration; may feel more “all-over” with a biostimulatory effect on skin quality.

Skinvive vs dermal fillers

  • Skinvive improves glow and texture.
  • Fillers restore volume, contour, or structure. Many patients combine both for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Skinvive vs microneedling / lasers

  • Skinvive = immediate hydration and surface smoothness with minimal downtime.
  • Microneedling/lasers = collagen remodelling for scars, pores, laxity or pigmentation with a programme of sessions and specific recovery windows. Combination plans often yield best-in-class results.

Who is a good candidate for Skinvive?

Skinvive is suitable for adults who want naturally refreshed skin with minimal interruption. It’s particularly helpful if you notice:

  • Dullness, dehydration, or loss of luminosity
  • Fine lines and crepiness in the mid-face, vertical lip lines above the lip, or early signs of laxity across the neck and décolletage
  • “Make-up not sitting right” due to surface roughness

Contraindications include pregnancy/breastfeeding, active skin infection, certain allergies, and recent procedures in the area. Your clinician will assess your medical history, skin type, and goals during consultation.

 

What to expect: procedure, downtime & aftercare

Before your appointment

  • Avoid alcohol and vigorous exercise 24 hours prior.
  • If safe for you, you may be advised to pause certain supplements that increase bruising risk.
  • Arrive with clean skin; we’ll discuss your plan and take pre-treatment photos.

During treatment

  • Numbing can be used for comfort.
  • Microdroplet intradermal injections are placed precisely across the cheeks or extended to areas such as the vertical lip lines, neck, and décolletage if indicated.
  • Typical appointment time: 30-45 minutes.

Aftercare

  • Expect mild redness, small bumps, or pinpoint bruising that settles, typically within 24-72 hours.
  • Avoid make-up, saunas, and high-intensity exercise for the rest of the day.
  • Keep the area clean; use gentle skincare and daily SPF.

 

Risks, side effects & safety considerations

Common temporary effects include redness, tenderness, pinpoint swelling or papules at injection sites. Less common risks include bruising, infection, or vascular events. Choosing an experienced medical injector, a sterile environment, and clear aftercare instructions are essential for safety.

At Dr Liesel Holler, treatments are delivered by medically trained professionals with advanced anatomy knowledge and robust complication protocols.

How long do Skinvive results last?

While individual experiences vary, many patients report benefits for several months following optimal treatment and maintenance. Longevity depends on skin biology, skincare, UV exposure, and lifestyle. Your clinician will recommend a maintenance schedule tailored to your goals (for example, periodic top-ups to keep hydration and smoothness consistent through the year).

Choosing a clinic & questions to ask

When booking Skinvive, consider:

  • Credentials: Is the practitioner medically qualified with extensive injectable experience?
  • Safety: Does the clinic follow medical-grade hygiene and have complication pathways?
  • Results: Can you view before/after images and outcomes similar to yours?
  • Consultation: Will you receive a personalised plan that may integrate skincare, devices, or other injectables?

Helpful questions:

  • How many Skinvive treatments do you perform?
  • Where will you place the microdroplets and why?
  • What is your aftercare advice and follow-up schedule?

 

Real patient stories & before/after results

 

Skinvive Treatment Before and After

Patients often describe Skinvive results as “rested, hydrated, polished.” Where permissions allow, we’ll share before/after photography that reflects realistic improvements to texture and luminosity rather than dramatic reshaping.

Before and after result above:

Pricing & treatment package options

Skinvive is priced according to the area treated and the volume required to reach your goals. Many patients choose package plans that include a review and maintenance appointment to sustain a glow year-round. You’ll receive a full quotation at the consultation.

Popular questions people ask about Skinvive

Does Skinvive hurt?

Most patients find Skinvive very tolerable, especially with a topical anaesthetic. You may feel light pressure or stinging with individual microdroplets that quickly settle.

When will I see results?

Hydration and surface smoothness can appear quickly, with further refinement as the product settles. Expect a natural finish rather than a “done” look.

Can I combine Skinvive with other treatments?

Yes – many combine Skinvive with energy-based devices (e.g., lasers, radiofrequency), microneedling, and targeted fillers for contours. Your plan will be sequenced to maximise synergy and safety.

Is Skinvive suitable for all skin tones?

Skinvive is non-colouring and aims to improve skin quality in a wide range of tones. Your clinician will tailor technique and aftercare to your skin type and goals.

How do I maintain results?

Adopt a consistent medical-grade skincare routine (antioxidants, barrier support, SPF), protect from UV, and follow your personalised maintenance schedule.

Liesel always takes time making one feel special
She hears what you want to achieve.
Most of all Liesel never hard sells she will not do a procedure if she doesn’t think you will achieve miracles

It was my first time having botox, and understandably was quite nervous about the end result. However Dr Liesel Holler put my mind at ease and explained everything about the procedure, the after care and what to expect. I have waited 3 months to write this review so i could fully see the results. I am so happy with them, they are natural and solved my forehead line/ frown issues.

I am just about to go back for a top up! I could not be happier with the results and will continue to return to this lovely clinic!

Firstly, this is a friendly and welcoming clinic.

Dr Liesel is not only extremely knowledgeable; she also has a genuine care for her patients. She takes the time to listen and what I like best is her approach - less is more! I never feel pushed into anything and she fully explains the procedure and after care. I know I am in safe hands.

A loyal client who is very lucky to find an aesthetic doctor who is professional, smart and caring. Thank you Dr Liesel.

Dr Holler has a wealth of experience and knowledge that is invaluable. I was nervous ahead of my treatment, but I was immediately put at ease. My procedure was talked through with me thoroughly and Dr Holler took the time to suggest some alternatives that would better suit me. I would absolutely recommend Dr Holler. I couldn't be happier with my results.

Dr Liesel has a wonderful calming presence about her. You can tell she genuinely cares about each of her patients and will never rush a treatment or go overboard. She takes time to listen to your concerns but is never pushy. She is such a professional and I would recommend her to anyone ☺️

This is my second treatment with Dr Liesel Holler and each time she has discussed and explained things in detail with me and carefully assessed my facial profile.

My results are very natural and exactly as I wanted. It’s clear she is very skilled and knowledgeable and treats each patient uniquely. I can be quite nervous and I feel totally at ease with Dr Liesel Holler and she is the most gentle with a needle that I’ve ever experienced.

I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my face now. Thank you again!
