Jeuveau

What is Jeuveau?

Jeuveau is a cutting-edge botulinum toxin type A injectable designed to smooth facial wrinkles and fine lines. Approved by the FDA, it effectively reduces the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows and other upper facial aging signs. Similar to other botulinum toxin treatments, Jeuveau temporarily blocks nerve signals to the facial muscles, reducing their ability to contract. With fewer contractions, the skin appears smoother, with diminished lines and wrinkles during facial expressions.

Jeuveau vs. Botox

Although Jeuveau and Botox share the same active ingredient, they differ in a few key ways:

• Botox, approved for cosmetic use in 2002, was the first product of its kind. Jeuveau is a newer option, often referred to as “Newtox.”
• Botox is FDA-approved to treat glabellar lines, crow’s feet, and horizontal forehead lines, while Jeuveau is FDA-approved specifically for glabellar lines, with occasional off-label uses for other areas.
• Both products work by temporarily relaxing facial muscles, but their formulations are slightly different. Some patients may find they respond better to one over the other.
• Jeuveau is typically a more cost-effective option, making it a popular choice for those starting their neuromodulator journey.

Choosing between these two products can be challenging for first-time users. During a consultation, Dr. Sweat will help determine which option is most suitable based on your unique needs and budget.

Who is a Candidate?

Jeuveau is ideal for individuals experiencing early signs of aging, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. These concerns often appear in a person’s 20s or 30s and are typically dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Jeuveau is especially effective for these issues.

This injectable is safe to combine with other facial treatments for enhanced outcomes. Candidates must be at least 18 years old. During a consultation, Dr. Sweat will evaluate your concerns and determine if Jeuveau is the right choice for you.

The Procedure

Treatment with Jeuveau begins with cleansing the skin and applying a topical numbing cream. Injection points are mapped around the forehead, brows, and eyes. Using a thin needle, small amounts of Jeuveau are injected beneath the skin. The procedure is quick, taking about 20 minutes, and is generally well-tolerated.

Jeuveau uses purified botulinum toxin to block nerve signals in targeted muscles. This relaxes the muscles, reducing dynamic wrinkles and preventing them from deepening. Proper injection techniques allow for natural facial expressions, with wrinkles appearing softer. Results typically last around four months.

Common Treatment Areas

• Glabellar Lines: Horizontal wrinkles above the eyebrows.
• Frown Lines: Deep vertical lines between the brows, also known as “elevens.”
• Forehead Lines: Dynamic wrinkles on the forehead and near the eyes.
• Cheek Wrinkles: Wrinkles in the cheek area are often better treated with hyaluronic acid fillers.

Benefits of Jeuveau

Jeuveau, nicknamed “Newtox,” offers a range of benefits:

Smooths Wrinkles: Targets dynamic wrinkles for a natural, refreshed appearance.

Prevents New Wrinkles: Reduces facial muscle activity, delaying future signs of aging.

Long-Lasting Results: Effects typically last 3–6 months.

Effective for Frown Lines: Specially formulated for vertical lines between the brows.

FDA-Approved: Ensures safety and efficacy backed by clinical testing.

The Results

Following treatment, most patients can resume daily activities without downtime. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur but subsides within hours. To minimize swelling, avoid strenuous activity for 12 hours post-treatment.

Initial results can appear within 2–3 days, with full effects visible after 7–10 days. Results typically last 3–6 months before a touch-up session is needed. Avoid touching the treated areas to prevent product migration. Dr. Sweat will provide detailed aftercare instructions during your appointment.
