Jeuveau is an FDA-approved injectable treatment used to eliminate facial wrinkles and glabellar lines. Jeuveau shares similarities with other popular wrinkle treatments like Botox and Dysport; namely, all three treatments use very similar neurotoxins. However, Jeuveau differs from these other facial skin treatments in several areas. For example, Jeuveau is made using a slightly different formula and tends to be less expensive than Botox or Dysport.

Jeuveau contains botulinum toxin type A, which is the same active ingredient found in Botox. When Jeuveau is injected, the neurotoxin stops the nerves from sending signals to the muscles. This prevents the muscles from pulling on the skin, which smooths out the wrinkles and lines in the area.

Currently, Jeuveau is only FDA-approved to treat glabellar lines between the eyebrows. If you’re looking to remove forehead wrinkles, lip lines, or crow’s feet, one of the other botulinum toxin A injectables will be your best option.

• Eliminates glabellar lines
• Creates a more youthful facial appearance
• Improves self-esteem
• Safe, effective, and FDA-approved
• Quick results

If you’re interested in receiving Jeuveau, the first step will be to have a consultation with our medical provider. She will use this meeting to learn about your specific goals for the procedure as well as your medical history, medications, and allergies. We will outline a plan for the procedure to ensure that you get the results you desire.

The Juveau procedure will begin with your treatment expert cleansing your face and marking the injection sites. Then, using a very thin needle, the doctor will inject the Juveau into several places around the frown lines that you’re having removed. In total, the process takes only about 15 minutes.

You will be able to leave the office and go about your day immediately after your Jeuveau treatment is finished. It is suggested that you avoid strenuous exercise until at least the following day, but other than that, there’s no recovery period to worry about.

Men and women who would like to remove their glabellar lines and smooth out the skin between their eyebrows could be ideal candidates for Jeuveau. To qualify as a candidate for the treatment, you should meet the following requirements:

• You have realistic expectations
• You are not allergic to any ingredients in Jeuveau
• You are generally healthy
• You are free of skin infections around the targeted area
• You aren’t currently pregnant or breastfeeding
• You have no underlying nerve or muscle conditions

Although Jeuveau is a very safe treatment, many patients do experience a few minor side effects. The following side effects will typically disappear within a few days:

• Tenderness
• Swelling
• Redness
• Headaches

In rare cases, Jeuveau can cause more severe side effects:

• Droopy eyelids
• Upper respiratory infections
• Allergic reactions
• Botulism

After your Jeuveau procedure, you’ll start to see results within two or three days. The effects will appear gradually, and it typically takes around one week for the final results to become visible. The improvements from the treatment will remain for approximately three to six months before they start to fade. After that, you will need follow-up injections to maintain your results.
