Hydration is the foundation to healthy skin. The premise behind skin boosters is mainly for skin hydration so as to improve how our skin looks, feels, and moves. SKINVIVE is one of the many skin booster treatments that is now available at Halley Medical Aesthetics Singapore. Doctors use it to hydrate and moisturise our skin in order to address the effects of ageing and sun damage. Read on to find out how SKINVIVE’s hyaluronic acid (HA) microdroplets can improve your skin’s texture, reduce fine lines, and give you a radiant glow with minimal downtime and results that last up to nine months.
What is SKINVIVE skin booster?
If you’re seeking that ‘lit-from-within’ glow akin to the radiant skin of Korean celebrities, Halley Medical Aesthetics in Singapore offers SKINVIVE to help you achieve your goals.
SKINVIVE is a HA-based injectable skin booster that smooths and hydrates your face to give our skin a healthy and radiant glow. Skin boosters are different from traditional dermal fillers. Skin boosters are not for facial contouring; they do not add volume or alter facial contours which is what dermal fillers do. They are also different from skin healers which are designed to accelerate tissue regeneration to heal damaged skin. Skin boosters, dermal fillers, and skin healers therefore each play a different role and are prescribed by doctors based on your primary skin concern.
Skin boosters like SKINVIVE are designed to hydrate and moisturise your skin. SKINVIVE works by delivering HA in the form of microdroplets directly into the skin to improve overall hydration, texture, and radiance. The results are a healthy, refreshed look that lasts up to nine months with minimal downtime.
How does SKINVIVE work?
The key ingredient in SKINVIVE is modified HA. HA is a molecule that naturally occurs in our skin whose water-binding properties help to keep our skin hydrated, soft, and smooth. As we age or experience environmental stressors, there will be a decline in the HA levels in our skin which often shows up as dry and dull skin.
During a SKINVIVE treatment, microdroplets of HA is injected within the dermis to give the skin a hydrated, glowing look without changing your face shape or volume.
What can SKINVIVE do?
1. Achieve smooth, radiant skin
SKINVIVE is a treatment option for those looking for skin hydration and skin glow. HA’s hydrating properties improves our skin’s moisture retention, leading to visibly softer and smoother skin.
2. Provides long-lasting results
A clinical study confirms that patients are able to see facial skin improvements from their SKINVIVE treatment at six months. The study also shows that 63% of patients were pleased with their skin’s radiance at six months (up from 11% pre-treatment). Many of them were also happy with their skin with 72% of patient satisfied with hydration levels compared to 24% prior treatment; and 83% reported healthier-looking skin compared to 38% before treatment.
3. Minimal treatment downtime
SKINVIVE treatment is what many call a “lunchtime procedure”. You can walk into the clinic and get the treatment done, and because it has minimal downtime, you can return to your daily activities after treatment. It is a treatment option for busy adults who want to improve their skin condition with minimal downtime and which does not require regular maintenance.
4. Suitable for many skin types and tones
SKINVIVE is clinically proven to be safe and effective for many skin types and tones. SKINVIVE skin booster is approved for Fitzpatrick skin prototype (FSP), a skin scale classification system, levels I–VI which means it is suitable for people with the lightest to the darkest skin tones. This makes SKINVIVE a versatile solution for those who are looking for skin treatments, regardless of skin type.
5. Suitable for both young and mature skin
SKINVIVE is suitable for both young and mature skin as the fundamental function of skin boosters is to improve skin hydration and quality which is a relevant concern regardless of age. It is a suitable treatment for younger patients in their 20s who want to maintain skin hydration and achieve a healthy glow, and it is also for more mature patients seeking smoother, deeply hydrated skin.
How long does SKINVIVE last?
How many sessions of SKINVIVE do I need?
Typically, doctors will prescribe one SKINVIVE treatment session with a touch-up session after nine months to maintain skin glow and hydration.
At Halley Medical Aesthetics in Singapore, our doctors will assess your skin concerns and desired result to determine the most effective treatment plan or skin booster for you.
How long does it take to see results with SKINVIVE?
It varies from individuals and the skin condition. However, based on the earlier mentioned clinical study on SKINVIVE, patients indicated that they saw improvements at one month of their treatment. Results will further improve when HA further integrates with the skin to retain moisture.
How SKINVIVE prepares your skin for other treatments
Hydrated skin is the key to healthy skin. Since the premise of skin boosters like SKINVIVE is to hydrate and moisturise your skin from within, SKINVIVE serves to build a good foundation for your skin to prepare our skin for other treatment. It primes the skin and helps our skin to be more receptive and maximises the efficacy of other treatments. Well-hydrated and healthy skin respond better for other treatments like lasers, microneedling, biostimulators, treatments using energy devices, botulinum toxins, and dermal fillers.
Is there any downtime for SKINVIVE?
Downtime is minimal for SKINVIVE. Patients may experience mild redness or swelling but these usually go away on its own after a few hours to a few days, depending on skin condition. You can expect tiny bumps on the injection site too, but the bumps usually disappear within a day or two. This makes SKINVIVE an ideal treatment option for those who cannot afford a long downtime, whether due to work or lifestyle commitments.
How does SKINVIVE differ from other skin boosters?
SKINVIVE is one of several skin boosters available in Singapore, each designed to address unique skin concerns. While treatments like Profhilo, Rejuran Healer, Rejuran HB Plus, Juvelook, Restylane Skin Booster, Belotero Revive, and SKINVIVE share the goal of enhancing skin quality, their differences lie in their formulations, benefits, and targeted outcomes.
- Profhilo: Profhilo has a dual-action approach, offering hydration while remodelling sagging and ageing skin.
- Rejuran Healer: Rejuran Healer uses salmon DNA to repair and rejuvenate the skin. It works at the cellular level to promote skin healing and repair.
- Rejuran HB Plus: Rejuran HB Plus combines the healing benefits of Rejuran Healer’s salmon DNA with hydrating HA for skin repair and hydration.
- Juvelook: Juvelook boost collagen production and volumises the skin over time to treat volume loss for a gradual rejuvenation.
- Restylane Vital Light: Restylane Vital Light provides deep hydration and improve the skin’s elasticity and glow.
- Belotero Revive: Belotero Revive is designed to enhance skin elasticity, hydration, and smoothness.
On the other hand, SKINVIVE is designed for cheek smoothness and radiance. Its microdroplet HA formulation helps skin to retain moisture for hydrated skin with a natural glow and luminosity. It is great for patients who are looking to achieve that Korean glass skin effect. One session of SKINVIVE can last nine months.
In summary, skin boosters are great treatments suited for different skin goals. Speak to our doctors regarding your skin concerns so that they can help you decide on a treatment best suited for you.
SKINVIVE side effects
SKINVIVE is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA), meaning that it has undergone tests and clinical studies to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness. However, just like any injectable treatment, some patients may experience temporary side effects like mild redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, or lumps at the injection site. These side effects are usually mild and will resolve by itself in a few hours to a few days.
SKINVIVE skin booster in Singapore
There is a wide range of skin boosters available in Singapore and it is recommended that you consult your doctor on which skin booster treatment is suitable for you. To help you determine that, doctors will do a thorough assessment of your skin before customising a skin booster treatment plan for you.
Depending on your skin condition, SKINVIVE can be administered both by hand injection or with an injector gun.

With these two options, our doctors will tailor the method used to administer the treatment based on your needs and preference.
