Skinvive is an injectable hyaluronic acid skin booster that delivers microdroplets into the skin to improve hydration, smoothness and radiance. At Yaan Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, Skinvive is offered as part of the VIP Collagen Package, where it is combined with other skin-quality treatments rather than used on its own.
Skinvive is not a filler and does not reshape the face. Its goal is simple: skin that looks more hydrated, smoother and more luminous—the kind of finish many people associate with Korean skincare.
What is Skinvive?
Skinvive is a hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable made by Allergan Aesthetics, the company behind Juvederm. It is designed to improve skin quality—especially hydration and smoothness—rather than to add volume.
In the United States, Skinvive was approved by the FDA in 2023 to improve cheek skin smoothness in adults over 21. It typically contains a small amount of lidocaine to make injection more comfortable. Because product formulations and approvals can differ by country, your doctor will explain the product used at your consultation.
How does Skinvive work?
Hyaluronic acid naturally attracts and holds water. Skinvive places tiny droplets of HA evenly within the skin, which helps it hold moisture from within and look smoother and more radiant.
Unlike collagen stimulators such as Juvelook, which work by prompting new collagen over weeks, Skinvive's hydrating effect is typically noticeable sooner, once initial injection bumps settle. It does not change facial structure.
Who is a good candidate for Skinvive?
Skinvive suits adults whose main concern is dull, dehydrated or rough-feeling skin and who want a fresher, more glowing look without volume change.
- Dull or uneven-looking skin that lacks radiance
- Skin that feels dry even with good skincare
- Fine, crepey texture on the cheeks
- People preparing for an event who want a natural "glow"
Like other HA injectables, it is generally avoided during pregnancy or breastfeeding, over active skin infection, and in people allergic to lidocaine or hyaluronic acid products. Your doctor will confirm suitability at consultation.
What is in Yaan Clinic's VIP Collagen Package?
The VIP Collagen Package combines Skinvive with five other elements for an all-round skin-quality treatment. Its 2026 guide price is 2,300,000 KRW (regular 2,430,000 KRW), excluding VAT, and international patients pay the same price.
| Component | What it does |
|---|---|
| Meta-Vu skin analysis | 3D analysis of pores, wrinkles, texture and pigmentation to guide the plan |
| Skinvive 2 cc | Hyaluronic acid microdroplets for hydration and smoothness |
| Eye Rejuran 2 cc | PN booster for the thin skin around the eyes (about Rejuran) |
| Re2O (1 session) | Human-dermis ECM booster for elasticity (about Re2O Cell) |
| Skin Botox (Xeomin) | Superficial micro-injections for pores, oil and fine texture (about Skin Botox) |
| AirNox | Inhaled oxygen and nitrous oxide pain care during injections |
The idea is that each part addresses a different layer of skin quality: hydration (Skinvive), repair (Rejuran), structure (Re2O) and surface texture (Skin Botox).
Skinvive vs Rejuran vs Juvelook: what is the difference?
Skinvive mainly hydrates, Rejuran mainly repairs, and Juvelook mainly builds collagen. They target different causes of tired skin, which is why Yaan Clinic often combines boosters.
| Skinvive | Rejuran Healer | Juvelook | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main ingredient | Hyaluronic acid microdroplets | Polynucleotide (PN) | PDLLA + hyaluronic acid |
| Main benefit | Hydration, glow, smoothness | Repair, calming, fine lines | Collagen for scars and pores |
| Speed of visible effect | Relatively quick | Builds over a 3-session course | Gradual over weeks |
| Typical longevity | Around 6 months (manufacturer data) | Not stated by Yaan | Long-lasting, varies |

How long does Skinvive last?
Skinvive results typically last around six months, according to the manufacturer's clinical data. Many people then choose a maintenance treatment to keep skin hydrated and smooth.
How long you see the effect depends on your skin type, age, climate and habits such as sun exposure and smoking. Because Skinvive improves hydration rather than structure, it pairs well with longer-acting collagen treatments if you want a more lasting change in firmness. Your doctor will suggest a maintenance plan that fits how often you visit Seoul.
What happens during a Skinvive treatment at Yaan Clinic?
- Consultation & Meta-Vu skin analysis – Your doctor reviews hydration, texture, pores and pigmentation using 3D Meta-Vu imaging and discusses your goals.
- Cleansing and numbing – The skin is cleansed, and comfort measures such as AirNox are prepared.
- Injection – Skinvive is placed as small microdroplets across the planned area; in the package, the other boosters and Skin Botox are given in the same visit as planned by the doctor.
- Aftercare advice – You receive instructions for the next few days and can usually return to normal activities.
Is Skinvive painful, and what is the downtime?
Most people feel mild stinging. Skinvive typically contains lidocaine, and in the VIP Collagen Package Yaan Clinic includes AirNox pain care. Downtime is usually minimal, with small bumps, redness or bruising for a few days.
Skinvive's microdroplet technique places many small amounts of product rather than one larger deposit, which is why tiny bumps can be visible at first. They usually flatten as the hyaluronic acid integrates into the skin over the following days.
Typical aftercare includes avoiding makeup on the treatment day, avoiding pressure or massage on the area, and skipping saunas, alcohol and intense exercise for a day or two. Your doctor will give you specific instructions.
Good to know: Yaan Clinic uses genuine products at the correct dosage. Ask to see the product before treatment, and read how the clinic approaches authenticity on the genuine products and safety page.
