By strategically injecting this form of botulinum toxin into the 5 muscle locations that are typically overworked with repetitive facial movement, Jeuveau® ultimately works to block communication between the nerves and their target muscle(s), leaving you with a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Jeuveau® injections are quick and virtually painless. The entire treatment can be completed in 15 minutes with no need for rest or downtime. Any discomfort that may be felt is minimal, as small amounts of Jeuveau® is injected using a fine tip needle.
There is no major downtime associated with Jeuveau®. Immediately after injection, you are advised to keep your head in an upright position for 2-3 hours, post-treatment. After this time period, you are free to return to your day to day activities.
It’s important to note that all injectables run the risk of minor to more severe side effects. However, considering such a small amount of product is used, side effects are minimal, rare and are expected to subside on their own.
Possible minor side effects include bruising, redness and swelling at or around the injection site(s).
More serious side effects include, but are not limited to, severe allergic reaction, weakened muscle(s), blurred vision, slurred speech and droopy eyelid(s).
While some patients have reported visible results 2-3 days, post-treatment, optimal results can take anywhere between 7-10 days to become more noticeable. Results typically last up to three months for most patients and seek retreatment when necessary.
Patients typically only need one treatment session every three months. However, you may need touch ups between appointments.
When it comes to finding the right product for you, it’s all about personal preference. Botox and Jeuveau® are structurally one and the same, as they are both derived from the same bacteria and offer similar results.
However, Jeuveau® is created and manufactured with Evolus’s proprietary hi-Pure technology and is offered at a more affordable price point when compared to Botox.
Additionally, Jeuveau® is the first, aesthetic only neurotoxin that received FDA approval in the United States.
If you have been treated with Botox previously, you can freely use Jeuveau® as there have been no known issues of interaction.
