Jeuveau®, an alternative to Botox®, uses a synthetic form of botulinum toxin to smooth out lines and wrinkles. Jeuveau® has been designed, and FDA approved for cosmetic use on glabellar lines. Because these lines and wrinkles develop due to muscles pulling on the skin, they are called dynamic wrinkles. Static wrinkles, which come from sagging skin, respond better to other types of treatment, such as dermal fillers. 

The botulinum toxin in Jeuveau® acts on the nerves that tell the targeted muscles to contract. It stops these nerves from sending signals to the muscles. As a result, the muscles stop pulling on the skin, and your lines and wrinkles become smooth and relaxed. 

You will see a reduction in the frown lines between your brows, making you look younger and refreshed. Many people see results in as little as 72 hours. Results are complete within about 14 days, and you can expect them to last from three to four months. Some people who have more mild frown lines use Jeuveau® as a preventative measure to stop the skin from being pulled into deeper wrinkles. 

If it’s your first time getting a treatment, you may be a little nervous and that’s okay! Localized pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, erythema, and/or bleeding/bruising may be associated with the injection.
