In the world of aesthetic treatments, Botox has long been the gold standard for smoothing wrinkles and fine lines. But now, a newcomer is making waves in the wrinkle-relaxer category—Jeuveau. Often referred to as the “newtox,” Jeuveau offers similar benefits but with a few key differences. Whether you’re considering Jeuveau for the first time or curious about its unique properties, this blog post will cover everything you need to know about Jeuveau, including its onset of action, longevity, benefits, and the importance of choosing a qualified professional injector.
Jeuveau (pronounced “joo-voh”) is a botulinum toxin injectable that was approved by the FDA in 2019 to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines (also known as glabellar lines) between the eyebrows. It can also be used “off-label” for forehead lines, crows feet, brow lift, lower face, and more! It works by blocking the nerve signals that cause facial muscles to contract, resulting in smoother skin and a more youthful appearance. Jeuveau is produced by Evolus, a company that specializes in aesthetic treatments.
One of the most common questions people have about Jeuveau is how soon they’ll see results. Typically, the effects of Jeuveau begin to show within 2 to 3 days after the injection, with the full effect becoming apparent in 7 to 10 days. This is similar to Botox, but some users report noticing results a little faster with Jeuveau.
Since the active ingredient in Jeuveau is a botulinum toxin, it works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles. Over time, the treated muscles relax, leading to a smoother, younger-looking appearance.
Jeuveau typically lasts 3 to 4 months before touch-ups are needed, although this can vary from person to person. Factors such as your skin type, lifestyle, and the area treated can influence the longevity of the results. Some patients may find that their results begin to fade a little sooner, while others may enjoy the effects for a bit longer (even up to 6 months!).
To maintain the results of Jeuveau, regular treatments are necessary. However, many people find that after several rounds of treatment, the intervals between injections may become longer as the muscles “train” to stay relaxed.
Jeuveau offers several benefits that make it an appealing option for people looking to smooth wrinkles and enhance their appearance:
While Jeuveau is a relatively simple treatment, the key to achieving the best results lies in choosing a qualified and experienced injector.
