Skinvive Treatment in Croydon Hyaluronic Acid Skin Booster for Hydration and Glow
PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
How Does Skinvive Work?
Skinvive by Juvederm uses hyaluronic acid, a substance the skin already produces naturally, delivered in a series of small, evenly spaced microdroplets across the treatment area. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, it isn’t designed to add volume or reshape features. Instead, the hyaluronic acid sits within the skin’s dermal layer and draws in moisture, which is what gives skin that plumper, more hydrated appearance over the following days.
This is why Skinvive is often chosen by people asking about skinvive for skin hydration or skinvive for glowing skin, rather than those wanting a change in facial contour. The injections also contain lidocaine, so most clients find the treatment comfortable without needing separate numbing time built into the appointment.
This is different from Profhilo, which is a bio-remodelling injectable designed to stimulate the skin’s own collagen and elastin production to improve laxity and firmness over time. Both are skin boosters, but Skinvive focuses on hydration and glow, while Profhilo is aimed more at restoring structural firmness. Franca will help you decide which is the right fit for your skin at consultation.

How We Approach Skinvive Treatment
- Consultation — understanding your skin concern, checking your medical history, and confirming suitability for skinvive injections.
- Skin assessment — Natalia examines hydration levels and skin texture to decide whether Skinvive, Profhilo, or a combination would suit your goals best.
- Cleansing and preparation — skin is thoroughly cleansed before treatment begins.
- The treatment — small hyaluronic acid microdroplets are placed evenly across the treatment area using a fine needle.
- Aftercare guidance — simple advice on skincare, sun exposure and avoiding heavy makeup for the rest of the day.
- Review — checking how your skin has responded, usually within one to two weeks as results settle.
- Course planning — discussing whether a second session would help build on your results long term.

- Active skin infection or breakout in the treatment area
- Recent dermal filler or facial procedure in the same area within the last two weeks
A note on suitability
Skinvive is generally low-risk and suitable for most skin types, but this is always checked properly at consultation, particularly around allergies and any recent treatments in the same area, rather than applied as a blanket rule.
- Getting the right skin booster matched to your actual concern, hydration versus laxity, matters more than the brand name itself, which is why we assess every patient properly before recommending Skinvive or Profhilo. At Laserlite, every treatment plan sits under the clinical oversight of Franca Lenders, an Advanced Aesthetic Medical Practitioner and Independent Prescriber with 15+ years of experience, with treatments carried out by Natalia, our dedicated Skin & Laser Therapist.
- The clinic has held Save Face accreditation since 2020. Save Face is a government-approved register, exclusive to doctors, nurses, dentists and prescribing pharmacists working in aesthetics, and has itself been accredited by the Professional Standards Authority since 2016. This means the clinic has been independently checked against standards for hygiene, insurance, qualifications and patient safety, something we’d encourage you to verify directly on the Save Face register before booking anywhere, not just with us.
- Every patient starts with a proper, unrushed consultation, and the clinic holds a 4.8 rating from 117 Google reviews.

Skinvive vs Profhilo Which Do You Need?
These two are often mentioned together because they’re both skin boosters, but they target different concerns.
| Skinvive | Profhilo | |
|---|---|---|
| What it does | Hyaluronic acid microdroplets for hydration and glow | Bio-remodelling injectable that stimulates collagen and elastin |
| Best for | Dehydrated, dull skin and fine lines | Skin laxity, sagging and loss of firmness |
| Duration | 45 mins | 1 hour 15 mins |
| Price | confirm price | £456 |
Which is appropriate depends on whether your main concern is hydration and glow, or laxity and firmness, and some patients benefit from both at different points in their skincare plan. This will always be discussed at your consultation rather than assumed in advance.

Risks and Possible Complications
Skinvive is generally low-risk, but because it’s an injectable treatment, it’s worth understanding what to expect. Being upfront about this is part of how we work, and it’s something our team talks through at your appointment.
Common and usually short-lived
- Mild redness or small bumps at the injection sites straight after treatment
- Slight tenderness in the treated area for a few hours
- Temporary swelling that typically settles within a day
Less common
- Mild bruising at injection points on more sensitive skin
- Minor asymmetry in swelling that resolves as the skin settles
Rare but serious
- An allergic reaction to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine, which is why allergies are always checked at consultation before treatment begins
We screen for allergies and recent treatments at consultation to reduce these risks, but if you notice anything that doesn’t feel right during or after your session, let us know straight away. Patients are given direct contact details for exactly this reason.
