JEUVEAU®
(prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs)

Aging naturally leads to loss of skin elasticity and volume due to declining collagen levels, repeated facial movements, sun exposure, and gravity. As a result, dynamic wrinkles (those that deepen when you frown, smile, or squint) become more visible, especially on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes, contributing to an older appearance.

What Jeuveau Is and How It Works

Jeuveau is a uniquely formulated botulinum toxin type A (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs), approved by the FDA specifically for cosmetic use. Like Botox, Jeuveau blocks the nerve signals responsible for muscle contractions, thereby relaxing the treated muscles under the skin. This relaxation smooths out existing lines and prevents new ones from deepening with facial expressions. Jeuveau typically starts working within a few days, with maximum results visible at around 2 weeks. The effects last about 3 to 4 months, after which muscle movement gradually returns.

What Does Jeuveau Treat?

Jeuveau is designed to temporarily reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and is especially effective for:

• Frown lines between the eyebrows (“11s” or glabellar lines)
• Horizontal forehead lines
• Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
• Bunny lines (wrinkles on the nose from squinting or smiling)
• Lip lines and subtle lip flips
• Gummy smile (excessive gum show when smiling)
• Marionette lines (downturned corners of the mouth)
• Chin dimpling and neck banding

Before-and-after Jeuveau treatments often show noticeably softened wrinkles, creating a more youthful and refreshed look.

The Procedure and Comfort

Before the Procedure

Your appointment will begin with a review of your medical history and medications to ensure Jeuveau is a safe option for you. You’ll have a thorough consultation to discuss your areas of concern, aesthetic goals, and to ensure realistic expectations.

During the Procedure

Jeuveau is injected using a very fine needle into specific facial muscles or skin areas guided by your treatment goals. Multiple small injections may be made in a single visit, depending on your needs. The process usually takes 10 to 30 minutes and is generally comfortable—most patients describe a slight pinch or sting, though numbing with ice or topical medication is available for added comfort if desired.

Aftercare

After your Jeuveau treatment, it’s important to avoid rubbing or leaning on the treated areas for several hours, which helps the product stay where it’s intended. You can resume nearly all normal activities immediately, with minimal restrictions.

Results typically begin to appear within 2 to 4 days, with full results visible after approximately 7 to 14 days. We recommend scheduling a brief follow-up visit 2 weeks after your initial session to assess results and address any needed touch-ups. The smoothing effect of Jeuveau lasts about 3 to 4 months; repeat treatments help maintain a fresh, rejuvenated appearance.

Why Choose Jeuveau?

Jeuveau is sometimes referred to as “Newtox” because it’s the newest FDA-approved neurotoxin specifically optimized for aesthetic results. It’s manufactured using advanced purification processes and has rapidly become a popular choice for those seeking a modern, high-quality wrinkle relaxer.

Side Effects and Common Patient Concerns

While Jeuveau is generally very well tolerated, the most common side effects are mild and temporary, including minor swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. Some people may experience headaches, droopy eyelids, mild fatigue, or, rarely, localized muscle weakness. These effects typically resolve quickly and are less likely when the procedure is performed by an experienced provider.

Serious side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions, difficulty swallowing or speaking, or unintended muscle weakness.

To reduce risk:

• Choose an experienced, skilled injector
• Share your full medical history and medication list
• Carefully follow aftercare instructions

If you experience concerning symptoms such as breathing or swallowing trouble, immediate medical attention is required. Most patients find Jeuveau to be a safe, minimally invasive treatment with quick recovery, little to no downtime, and reliably natural-looking results.
