To age gracefully looks different for everyone. While some opt for plastic surgery and others rely on skincare routines, many people seek a middle ground. This is where injectable treatments like Jeuveau® offer a valuable solution, providing subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation without surgery.
At Aventura Dermatology, Jeuveau is offered under the direction of Dr. Bertha Baum, a board-certified dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon known for her advanced training and commitment to excellence in facial aesthetics. With extensive experience in both cosmetic and medical dermatology, Dr. Bertha Baum ensures that every treatment reflects the highest standards of safety and results. Jeuveau offers a refined way to soften lines and refresh your look, making it an ideal option for those navigating the space between skincare and surgery.
What Is Jeuveau and How Does It Work?
Jeuveau is a prescription neurotoxin treatment that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for forming glabellar lines, also known as frown lines. These are the vertical wrinkles that develop between the eyebrows due to repeated muscle movement.
By blocking nerve signals to specific facial muscles, Jeuveau allows the skin above them to smooth out. The treatment is designed purely for aesthetic use and is FDA-approved for cosmetic applications. Results usually become noticeable within a few days and can last for several months.
What Can Jeuveau® Treat?
You may have heard Jeuveau described as "Newtox." This is due to its similarity to Botox Cosmetic. While there are many similarities, one of the key differences is that Jeuveau® has been specifically manufactured for the treatment of stubborn frown lines. If you have additional lines and creases that are of concern, your provider can talk with you about the treatment options that can be advantageous. Fortunately, you can combine Jeuveau with many other injectables, including Botox and dermal fillers.
Jeuveau® vs. Botox®
Being called "Newtox" makes Jeuveau sound just like Botox. It's not. The two are formulated with botulinum toxin A. This active ingredient works by inhibiting the uptake of the neurotransmitter that causes muscle contraction. Without the neurotransmitter, the muscle that has become overly tight and toned relaxes. This allows the overlying skin to also smooth out, reducing or eliminating the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.
Beyond the active ingredient and basic effect on the muscles, Jeuveau differs from Botox in its scope of treatment. Being formulated specifically for the correction of glabellar lines (frown lines), Jeuveau may work better in this area for some people. Also, being formulated for such a specific use, Jeuveau isn't currently used for as many treatment areas as Botox. The latter is now used for frown lines as well as worry lines on the forehead, bunny lines on the nose, crow's feet, drooping eyebrows, and more.
Botox is known to last about four months for most people on average. That's an average. Sometimes, the effects wear off as soon as three months, or conversely, last as long as six months. Jeuveau isn't much different. However, more people note that their treatment effects last five to six months.
What to Expect from a Jeuveau Appointment
A Jeuveau session is quick and convenient. During your consultation, we will discuss your goals and assess your skin to create a treatment plan. The injection process itself typically takes 10 to 15 minutes.
There is minimal downtime, and most patients return to their normal activities immediately. Mild redness or swelling at the injection site may occur, but usually subsides within a few hours. Results typically appear within two to seven days and may last three to four months, depending on your skin type and lifestyle.
Is Jeuveau Right for You?
If you are noticing signs of aging or facial tension and are looking for a non-surgical option, Jeuveau could be a good fit. It is especially effective for adults who want to soften moderate to severe frown lines without undergoing more invasive procedures.
Our team will evaluate your needs and help you determine whether Jeuveau or another option is best for you. We are here to support your skin health and aesthetic goals every step of the way.
What Side Effects Can Occur After Getting Jeuveau®?
You may develop mild side effects after your Jeuveau treatment. Most commonly, we see patients experience minor swelling and redness. Soreness and tenderness are possible, as is bruising. All of these side effects are expected to subside within 12 hours or less.
