All About
Jeuveau
Jeuveau, often called "Newtox," is an FDA-approved injectable treatment for reducing moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). It uses botulinum toxin type A to block nerve signals to the muscles, reducing muscle activity and smoothing out wrinkles.

What's the difference between Jeuveau® and Botox™?
Both Jeuveau and Botox are botulinum toxin type A products used to treat frown lines and work by temporarily paralyzing muscles to smooth wrinkles. They have similar onset times, duration of effects, and safety profiles.
Differences
Similarities
Botox has broader FDA approvals and a longer history of use, making it a trusted option for both cosmetic and therapeutic treatments. Jeuveau is newer, often marketed as a cost-effective alternative, and may have slightly less post-treatment swelling.

What should I do before Jeuveau®?
PRE-CARE
- Avoid Touching the Area: Touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas can cause the Botox™ to spread to unintended muscles, potentially leading to unwanted side effects.
- Stay Upright: Keeping your head elevated and avoiding lying down for 4-6 hours helps the Jeuveau® stay in the targeted areas and prevents it from migrating.
- No Exercise: Strenuous activities can increase blood flow and potentially cause the Botox™ to spread, increasing the risk of bruising and swelling.
- Skip Alcohol: Alcohol can thin your blood and increase the likelihood of bruising at the injection sites.
- Avoid Heat Exposure: Heat from hot tubs, saunas, tanning beds, and direct sunlight can increase blood flow and swelling, affecting the treatment area.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking water helps your body heal and maintain healthy skin.
- No Makeup: Applying makeup soon after the treatment can irritate the skin and increase the risk of infection at the injection sites.
- Gentle Cleansing: Using mild soap and water ensures that the treated areas remain clean without causing irritation.
- Watch for Side Effects: Mild bruising, swelling, and redness are common and should resolve on their own. Severe side effects are rare but should be addressed immediately with your healthcare provider.
