Double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Ran Rubinstein discusses the newest FDA-approved indication for SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM and what it means for patients interested in non-surgical neck rejuvenation in Newburgh, NY and Montvale, NJ.
NEWBURGH, NY AND MONTVALE, NJ / ACCESS Newswire / July 9, 2026 / Dr. Ran Rubinstein, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon serving patients through Laser & Cosmetic Surgery Specialists, PC in Newburgh, NY and Rubinstein Plastic Surgery Center in Montvale, NJ, is highlighting the newest FDA approval of SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM for reducing visible neck lines in adults over the age of 21. The new indication gives patients another non-surgical option for softening horizontal neck lines and improving the appearance of the neck without adding noticeable volume.
Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company, announced the approval after the injectable had previously been FDA-approved for improving cheek skin smoothness in adults over 21, making the neck the second area for which the product is cleared. Patients can learn more about JUVÉDERM treatment options in Newburgh and JUVÉDERM treatment options in Montvale.
A New Injectable Option for Neck Lines
SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM is part of the JUVÉDERM collection of hyaluronic acid injectables, but it is designed differently from traditional dermal fillers. Rather than restoring facial fullness or defining contours, SKINVIVE is placed within the skin as tiny microdroplets of hyaluronic acid to support hydration, softness, and smoothness.
Horizontal neck lines can become more noticeable due to natural aging, sun exposure, skin dehydration, weight changes, genetics, and repetitive neck folding from daily habits such as looking down at phones, tablets, books, and computers, a pattern often described as tech-neck. While more advanced neck aging may call for a different treatment plan, SKINVIVE may be considered for patients whose primary concern is visible neck lines and skin texture rather than significant skin laxity or prominent neck banding.
In the pivotal clinical study that supported the approval, roughly three out of four participants showed a measurable improvement in their neck lines one month after treatment, and most maintained that improvement at six months. As with any injectable, the most commonly reported adverse reactions were mild and temporary, such as redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection site, and they typically resolved within about two weeks. Allergan Aesthetics also notes that the safety and effectiveness of SKINVIVE for the neck have not been studied in patients with darker skin tones, which is an important consideration during a candidacy evaluation.
Individualized Treatment Planning in Newburgh and Montvale
At Laser & Cosmetic Surgery Specialists, PC and Rubinstein Plastic Surgery Center, Dr. Rubinstein approaches injectable treatment with careful attention to facial anatomy, proportion, and natural-looking outcomes. His background as afacial plastic surgeon allows him to evaluate how the neck relates to the face, jawline, and overall facial balance before recommending a treatment plan.
Patients may be evaluated for SKINVIVE alone or as part of a broader facial and neck rejuvenation plan that may include JUVÉDERM fillers, neuromodulators, laser treatments, RF microneedling, medical-grade skincare, or surgical facial rejuvenation when appropriate. Because SKINVIVE focuses on skin quality rather than volume restoration, it can be especially relevant for patients who want subtle improvement in neck smoothness without changing the natural shape of the neck.
Availability and Provider Training
Because SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM for the neck is a newly approved indication, the FDA has required that providers complete a dedicated training program before offering the treatment. Allergan Aesthetics has indicated that the neck indication is expected to become broadly available later in 2026. Dr. Rubinstein and his teams in Newburgh and Montvale are preparing to incorporate the treatment as it becomes available, and patients interested in neck rejuvenation can begin planning now by scheduling a consultation to discuss their goals and candidacy.
