What it is
Jeuveau is botulinum toxin type A, like Botox. It temporarily relaxes the muscle it's placed in, so the line that muscle creases into the skin softens.
It's the only one of the four made solely for cosmetic use, and it's most often chosen for the frown lines between the eyebrows, the "11s". Like Dysport, it tends to start working a day or two sooner than Botox.
What it can do for you
It treats the lines that come from movement, especially between the brows.
- The two vertical lines between your brows relax, so you look less cross.
- Forehead lines soften when you raise your eyebrows.
- Crow's feet ease when you smile.
- The result keeps natural movement when it's dosed conservatively.
Is it right for me?
Most healthy adults are good candidates, and it's a common first choice for frown lines. If you've had another neuromodulator before, tell us how it went.
Not recommended if
You're pregnant or breastfeeding, have a neuromuscular condition or have an infection where you'd be treated. Lines that stay when your face is at rest may need a different treatment.
Who does your treatment
Injections by a nurse practitioner.
Brooke, our nurse practitioner injector, assesses your face first and then chooses the product. If Jeuveau is the right fit, she keeps a first treatment conservative and checks the result with you at two weeks.
Before and after your appointment
A few simple guidelines.
The week before
- If your doctor agrees, pause fish oil, vitamin E and high-dose anti-inflammatories for about a week. They can make bruising more likely.
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your visit.
- Tell us about any recent illness, vaccinations or dental work.
The 24 hours after
- Stay upright for four hours.
- Don't rub, massage or press on the treated areas.
- Skip hard workouts, saunas and alcohol for a day.
- Small bumps settle within an hour. A bruise can take a few days.
- Judge the result at two weeks. We'll book your follow-up then.
Questions
The ones we hear most.
How is Jeuveau different from Botox?
Both are botulinum toxin type A. Jeuveau is made only for cosmetic use and is often chosen for frown lines. Some patients simply prefer how it feels.
Is Jeuveau good for frown lines?
Yes. The lines between the eyebrows are what it's best known for, and it's also used on the forehead and crow's feet.
How soon will I see Jeuveau results?
Often in two to five days, with the full effect at about two weeks. We book your follow-up then.
How long does Jeuveau last?
Usually three to four months. As the muscle starts moving again, the lines gradually return to how they were.
Can I switch to Jeuveau from Botox or Dysport?
Yes. If another product seems to wear off sooner than it used to, trying Jeuveau is a reasonable next step. We'll note what you had so we can compare.
