What Is Jeuveau?

Jeuveau is a cutting-edge neuromodulator injectable designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It contains a highly purified form of botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes facial muscles.

Dynamic wrinkles form from repeated muscle movements, such as frowning, squinting, or smiling. Jeuveau works by targeting the nerve signals that control these muscles, effectively blocking them and allowing the muscles to relax.

The result is smoother, younger-looking skin with reduced lines and wrinkles in areas like the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. Jeuveau has become a popular alternative to other neuromodulators on the market, offering a safe and effective way to achieve a more youthful appearance without plastic surgery or extensive downtime.

Ideal Candidates for Jeuveau

Jeuveau is ideal if you are looking for a non-surgical solution to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and prevent new lines from forming. It is particularly effective for treating:

• Severe glabellar lines (vertical lines between the eyebrows)
• Horizontal forehead lines
• Severe frown lines
• Crow’s feet (lines at the corners of the eyes)

Younger patients looking to delay signs of aging also often turn to Jeuveau for its preventative benefits.

However, it is not suitable for everyone. Jeuveau is not recommended for individuals who are allergic to botulinum toxin type A, those with infections at the treatment site, or those with specific neurological conditions.

Our providers will make sure each patient receives personalized care, reviewing your medical history, treatment goals, and any potential contraindications to determine if Jeuveau or another injectable treatment is the best option. 

Your Jeuveau Consultation

Before getting Jeuveau, you will need an initial consultation with a dermatologist. Dr. Janet Allenby will discuss the advantages and potential complications of Jeuveau injections. The two of you will also talk about how many injections you need, how much they will cost, and what to do before and after the treatment.

During the consultation, we will:

• Evaluate the areas you want to treat using advanced techniques and tools, like an aesthetic map of your facial muscles.
• Discuss your medical history, including any pre-existing conditions involving nerves or muscles.
• Review potential side effects and ensure the treatment aligns with your healthcare provider’s recommendations.
• Provide a detailed overview of the treatment process.
• Discuss costs, the number of units required, and expected results.

If you’ve had botulinum toxin treatments before, it’s important to mention any prior reactions at your consultation since this information helps Dr. Allenby tailor your treatment plan so you can get the safest and most effective results.

The Procedure

Jeuveau injections are quick and straightforward, typically lasting about 15 minutes. Before the treatment begins, we will cleanse the treatment area, removing any makeup or skincare products.

Using a fine needle, Jeuveau is carefully injected into the targeted muscles and is strategically placed to ensure natural-looking results. Patients often describe the injections as minimally uncomfortable, akin to a slight pinch.

Results can begin to appear within a few days, with full effects visible in about one to two weeks. The treatment does not affect your ability to make facial expressions, ensuring a refreshed and natural look.
