Jeuveau

What is Jeuveau?

Jeuveau is the newest neuromodulator and botulinum toxin type A injectable for smoothing fine lines and facial wrinkles. The injectable frown line treatment became FDA-approved for treating mild to severe frown lines between the brows and other signs of aging in the upper face. Like other neuromodulator botulinum toxin injections, Jeuveau temporarily blocks the nerve signals that tell the facial muscles to contract. With few facial contractions, patients can enjoy smoother skin with fewer lines and wrinkles when expressing themselves.

Jeuveau vs. Botox

While Botox and Jeuveau contain the same active ingredient, the two products differ:

1. Botox was the first option, receiving approval for cosmetic use in 2002. Jeuveau was released later, which is why it is called “Newtox.”
2. Botox is FDA-approved to treat glabellar lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet, and horizontal forehead lines. Jeuveau, however, is only FDA-approved for glabellar lines but may occasionally be used off-label.
3. Both products temporarily paralyze muscles using botulinum toxin, but their formulations vary slightly. Some patients may respond more favorably to Jeuveau, while others may prefer their results from Botox.
4. Finally, there is a small difference in cost. Jeuveau is a less expensive option, so many patients opt for this product, especially if they start with injectables.

Ultimately, deciding between two similar products can be difficult if you are new to neuromodulators. During a consultation, Dr. Sweat will recommend the best injection based on your specific concerns, budget, and other factors.

Who is a Candidate?

Candidates for the new neuromodulator injectable are experiencing some of the first signs of aging, such as frown lines between the brows, crow’s feet in the outer corners of the eyes, and forehead lines. These can appear as early as a person’s 20s and 30s. Jeuveau effectively treats dynamic wrinkles worsened by facial expressions like laughing and frowning.

Most people treated with Jeuveau do not require a surgical procedure yet. Others choose an injectable like Jeuveau to prolong the results of a previous procedure or treatment or prevent future signs of aging from occurring. No matter the goal, most patients see the best results with a series of three treatments.

The Jeuveau formula is safe to combine with other injectables and facial treatments for optimal results. Candidates must be 18 years or older to choose Jeuveau. During a consultation in Sacramento, CA, Dr. Sweat can ensure that the formula is right for you.

The Procedure

The skin will be cleansed and prepped with topical numbing cream to begin treatment. Several injection points will be mapped around the eyes, brows, and forehead. A small amount of the Jeuveau formula will then be placed under the skin using a thin needle. This process is relatively pain-free and quick, taking about 20 minutes to complete. Most patients tolerate the procedure very well.

Jeuveau is a neuromodulator that works using purified botulinum toxin, the same active ingredient in Botox injections—for this reason, it is sometimes referred to as “Newtox.” Once injected, Jeuveau blocks nerve receptors in the muscles, causing them to no longer receive nerve signals and relax. This prevents patients from making more extreme facial expressions, softening dynamic wrinkles, and preventing them from growing deeper over time.

Proper injection techniques allow you to express yourself freely, but the wrinkles will be less noticeable—Jeuveau results typically last about four months. During a consultation, Dr. Sweat will recommend the best possible treatment option for you, including the best areas for Jeuveau injections.

Benefits

Of Jeuveau Injections

Jeuveau, often called “Newtox,” is a cutting-edge injectable treatment designed to smooth dynamic wrinkles and fine lines, offering a refreshed and youthful appearance:

Smooths Dynamic Wrinkles

Jeuveau effectively provides medical grade improvement by physician teams specializing in natural facial expressions and results.

Prevents New Wrinkle Formation

Jeuveau temporarily improves existing and new wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles, making it a powerful choice for maintaining youthful skin.

Long-Lasting Effects

Jeuveau’s results typically last 3-6 months, allowing patients to enjoy their rejuvenated appearance for an extended period before needing a follow-up treatment.

Fewer Frown Lines

Specially formulated for glabellar lines, Jeuveau is highly effective at smoothing the vertical moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, offering a rested and approachable appearance.

FDA-Approved for Safety and Efficacy

Jeuveau is FDA-approved, ensuring a safe and effective treatment option backed by clinical research and rigorous testing. People treated with Jeuveau, therefore, have far less worry about complications.

The Results

After treatment with Jeuveau, patients can return to their daily activities and work without any required downtime or recovery. Mild swelling, bruising, and redness can be expected in the targeted areas in the first few hours. To avoid excess swelling, patients should avoid strenuous exercise for the first 12 hours after treatment.

The effects of Jeuveau can be seen as soon as 2-3 days after treatment. The final results can be expected after 7-10 days. After this time, patients can enjoy fewer facial lines and wrinkles for a younger, more rejuvenated appearance. These results can last 3-6 months before a touch-up session is needed. Results will vary from person to person, depending on the individual and the specific area treated.

It is also important to avoid touching the area so you do not spread the product to any unintended face areas. Dr. Sweat will give you specific instructions after you receive your injections.

FAQs

What much does Jeuveau cost?

The cost of Jeuveau is similar to that of other neuromodulator injectables, such as Botox or Dysport. The cost of your Jeuveau treatment will depend on the amount needed and the number of areas being treated. Dr. Sweat will discuss the price of your treatment in more detail during your consultation.

How does Jeuveau compare to Botox?

Jeuveau and Botox are neuromodulator injectables that temporarily block muscle contractions. Both have proven safe and effective. The best formula for you will depend on your specific concerns and preferences. Dr. Sweat can meet with you to determine which formula is right for your signs of aging.

How many injections will I need?

The number of Jeuveau injections you need will depend on the severity and location of your facial lines. Several injections are recommended around the forehead and brow areas. One treatment session can give you results, but to maintain youthful-looking skin, follow-up sessions are recommended several times a year. Dr. Sweat will discuss your treatment plan to give you an idea of how many injections you can expect during your treatment.
