What Is Jeuveau®?
Jeuveau® is a modern injectable treatment specifically formulated to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, particularly prominent frown lines between the eyebrows. FDA-approved Jeuveau® shares similarities with BOTOX® Cosmetic, with both using a purified form of botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax facial muscles, thereby smoothing fine lines. In the same way that options such as BOTOX Cosmetic®, Dysport®, and XEOMIN® are able to enhance facial aesthetics, Jeuveau® offers a nonsurgical solution to common cosmetic concerns. This injectable treatment can ultimately deliver a more youthful and refreshed look with minimal downtime.
Board-certified Chicago plastic surgeons Brian Braithwaite, MD and Lorri Cobbins, MD offer a variety of surgical and nonsurgical aesthetic treatments to help patients revitalize their appearance. With Jeuveau®, Dr. Braithwaite and Dr. Cobbins can create customized treatment plans designed to diminish signs of frown lines and furrows between the eyebrows with beautiful, natural-looking results.
What Is Jeuveau® Used For?
Jeuveau® is used primarily for cosmetic purposes, specifically targeting and reducing the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, known as glabellar lines. By temporarily relaxing the underlying facial muscles, Jeuveau® helps smooth out these wrinkles, offering a rejuvenated and more youthful appearance. It is often favored by those looking for nonsurgical options to address common signs of aging on the face. Additionally, its effectiveness in treating these specific types of facial lines makes it a popular alternative to other injectable treatments.
What Does the Jeuveau® Treatment Involve?
This minimally invasive treatment can be quick to perform and is typically completed in less than 30 minutes. Dr. Braithwaite or Dr. Cobbins will inject a small amount of Jeuveau® directly into the muscles responsible for creating frown lines between the eyebrows. This procedure uses very fine needles to reduce the potential for excessive discomfort. Patients usually experience little to no downtime, allowing them to return to daily activities immediately. Results usually appear within a few days and can last up to four months. To maintain the aesthetic benefits, repeat treatments may be recommended as the effects begin to fade.
Are There Side Effects to Jeuveau®?
Jeuveau® treatment, like other botulinum toxin products, can have side effects, although they are generally mild and temporary. Common side effects include minor pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. Some patients may experience headaches or flu-like symptoms. More rarely, there can be eyelid drooping or muscle weakness near the treated area. These effects usually resolve on their own within a few days to weeks. Severe allergic reactions are rare but require immediate medical attention. Dr. Braithwaite or Dr. Cobbins will discuss all potential risks and benefits before undergoing treatment and answer any questions you may have.
How Long Do Jeuveau® Results Last?
Jeuveau® results typically last between three to four months. The longevity of the effects can vary based on individual factors such as the patient’s muscle activity, metabolism, and the area treated. As the body gradually metabolizes the botulinum toxin, the muscles begin to regain activity, leading to the return of wrinkles unless treated again. Follow-up treatments can often help maintain the smooth, youthful appearance achieved with Jeuveau® and extend the benefits to keep wrinkles at bay.
How Much Does Jeuveau® Cost?
The cost of Jeuveau® treatments can vary depending on numerous factors, including:
- The amount of product used
- The number of areas that are addressed
- A provider’s expertise
- The geographic location of the practice
Generally, Jeuveau® is priced competitively with other botulinum toxin products such as BOTOX® Cosmetic.
