• SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM^® is now the first and only hyaluronic acid injectable approved to reduce horizontal neck lines caused by “tech-neck.¹“
• This is the second FDA-approved indication for SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM^®, which has been approved since 2023 to improve skin smoothness of the cheeks in adults.¹

IRVINE, Calif., June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company (NYSE: ABBV), today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM^® to reduce neck lines for the improvement of neck appearance in adults over the age of 21.¹ With this approval, SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM^® is the first and only hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable indicated to reduce the appearance of neck wrinkles and help skin retain its natural moisture, leading to an improved neck appearance.¹

Neck wrinkles may develop due to natural aging, sun damage, weight loss, or “tech-neck” caused by the head-down position used for phones, tablets, and books.¹ SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM^® reduces neck lines formed by tech-neck by helping the skin retain its natural moisture, softness, and smoothness.¹ Treatment with SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM^® is minimally invasive with little to no downtime and is administered using an ultrafine needle or cannula. The product contains a small amount of local anesthetic (lidocaine) to support patient comfort during treatment. Results last six months with optimal treatment.^1,*

“The approval of SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM^® for horizontal neck wrinkles reflects Allergan Aesthetics’ commitment to developing science-driven innovations that address meaningful unmet aesthetic needs,” said Darin Messina, Ph.D., senior vice president, aesthetics R&D, AbbVie. “This approval expands our portfolio of lower face and neck treatment options and gives patients and aesthetic providers a first-of-its-kind treatment option for improving neck skin quality and reducing the appearance of neck lines.^1,3,*”

In the randomized, multicenter, evaluator-blinded, controlled pivotal clinical study, 74.8% (78.5/105) of participants treated in the neck with SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM^® saw clinically significant (≥ 1 point) improvement on the validated 5-grade photonumeric Allergan Transverse Neck Lines Scale (ATNLS) at one month.^2,† Most participants (66% or 64/97) maintained ≥ 1 point improvement in horizontal neck lines at six months.² Participants who demonstrated improvement from baseline in overall score stayed high (≥78%) at all timepoints during the study.²

Participants in the clinical study reported experiencing adverse events (AEs) such as redness, bruising, tenderness, lumps/bumps, swelling, firmness, pain, discoloration, and itching at the injection sites, as reported in their electronic diaries.¹ These AEs were usually mild (causing little discomfort and no effect on daily activities), did not require treatment, and resolved within two weeks.¹ Severe AEs were experienced by less than 5% of participants (7/147 reporting AEs).¹ These AEs were reported similarly or less frequently after touch-ups and repeat treatments.¹

As with some novel products, the FDA has required that Allergan Aesthetics provide a training program for all interested providers. Successful completion of this training is necessary prior to purchase of and administration of SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM^®. Allergan Aesthetics anticipates that SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM^® for the improvement of neck appearance will be broadly commercially available later this year.

^*Optimal treatment with SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM^® may require an optional touch-up one month after initial treatment to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome and is dependent on patient need.¹

^†The safety and effectiveness of SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM^® neck treatment has not been studied in darker skin tone patients.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Are there any reasons why I should not receive SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM^® treatment?
Do not use this product if you have a history of multiple severe allergies or severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), if you are allergic to lidocaine or the Gram-positive bacterial proteins used in this product, or if you have had previous allergic reactions to hyaluronic acid fillers.

What Warnings should my specialist advise me about?

• One of the risks with dermal filler injections is the unintentional injection into a blood vessel. The chances of this happening are very small, but if it does happen, the complications can be serious and may be permanent. These complications, which have been reported for facial injections, can include vision abnormalities, blindness, stroke, temporary scabs, or permanent scarring of the skin. Most of these events are irreversible. Tell your specialist immediately if you have changes in your vision, signs of a stroke (including sudden difficulty speaking, numbness or weakness in your face, arms or legs, difficulty walking, face drooping, severe headache, dizziness, or confusion), white appearance of the skin, or unusual pain during or shortly after treatment
• The use of this product where skin sores, pimples, rashes, hives, cysts, or infections are present should be postponed, as this may delay healing or make skin problems worse
• The effectiveness of removal of any dermal filler has not been studied

What Precautions should my specialist advise me about?

• Avoid applying makeup for 12 hours after treatment. Minimize strenuous exercise, exposure to extensive sun or heat, and alcoholic beverages within the first 24 hours following treatment. Exposure to any of these may cause temporary redness, swelling, and/or itching at the injection site
• Tell your specialist if you are using any medication that can prolong bleeding, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners, as this may increase bruising or bleeding at the injection site
• Tell your specialist if you are planning laser treatment, chemical peeling, or any other procedure after SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM^®. There is a possible risk of an inflammatory reaction at the treatment site
• This product is intended for improving skin smoothness of the cheeks and reducing neck lines. The safety and effectiveness for treatment in other areas of the body have not been established
• Tell your specialist if you are on therapy used to decrease the body’s immune response, as treatment may result in an increased risk of infection
• Tell your specialist if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The safety for use during pregnancy, or in women who are breastfeeding, has not been studied
• Tell your specialist if you have a history of excessive scarring (thick, hard scars). The safety of this product in patients with a history of excessive scarring has not been studied and may result in additional scars
• Tell your specialist if you have a history of pigmentation disorders, as use of this product in patients with a history of pigmentation disorders has not been studied and may result in changes in pigmentation

What are the possible side effects of treatment?
The most commonly reported side effects were redness, lumps/bumps, swelling, bruising, pain, tenderness, firmness, discoloration and itching. Most side effects will resolve within 2 weeks. If they persist longer, your physician may choose to treat them with medications, such as antibiotics, steroids, or hyaluronidase. Additionally, there have been reports of inflammation, nodules, unsatisfactory result, loss or lack of improvement, allergic reaction, anxiety, blood vessel blockage, infection, dry skin, increase or decrease in sensation, and abscess.

Delayed-onset inflammation near the site of dermal filler injections is one of the known adverse events associated with dermal fillers. As with all skin injection procedures, there is a risk of infection.

To report a side effect, please call the Allergan^® Product Support Department at 1-877-345-5372. Please also visit www.skinvive.com or talk to your specialist for more information.
