AbbVie Wins FDA Approval for SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM for Neck — First Filler Indication in Category
Allergan Aesthetics' new neck-appearance indication expands the JUVÉDERM filler portfolio beyond face and lips.
First filler indication specifically cleared for the neck in the U.S. market.
SKINVIVE is formulated with JUVÉDERM's proprietary cross-linked hyaluronic acid and is designed for subdermal injection to address skin laxity and volume loss in the neck. This approval follows SKINVIVE's earlier clearance for cheek augmentation and sits within AbbVie's broader strategy to expand JUVÉDERM's clinical footprint beyond traditional facial zones. Practices will need to update consent forms and training protocols; the indication also creates an opportunity to bundle neck treatment with existing face/lip cases.
