Jeuveau Specialist in Crown Point IN

The brand Jeuveau is very similar to Botox, just a newer version with slightly different ingredients. It has the same active ingredient as the original Botox cosmetic injections but uses a slightly different form of botulinum toxin. While Botox contains the toxin onabotulinumtoxinA, Jeuveau contains prabotulinumtoxinA. Some patients may find that one or the other works better for them, and could prove to be more effective, meaning that they would require fewer treatments than if they were to go with the other resulting in a slightly lower total cost of treatments.

Many people prefer Jeuveau over Botox because while Botox provides noticeable effects within a week or so, Jeuveau provides significant results within two to three days. For those that find Jeuveau to be more effective for them, results have lasted longer than that of Botox which allows them to get the treatments done less frequently.

Jeuveau is a new kind of cosmetic brand that became FDA-approved in February 2019 to be used primarily between the eyebrows to diminish the appearance of frown lines to provide the recipient with younger-looking skin. The effects of Jeuveau are temporary but it is an excellent option for those with moderate to severe frown lines.

Jeuveau is most commonly used to treat the two vertical lines that appear as wrinkles between the eyebrows, also known as worry or frown lines. It is not normally recommended for other kinds of fine lines and wrinkles on the rest of the face. It is also commonly used to treat wrinkles around the eyes such as crow’s feet, wrinkles around the mouth known as laugh lines, and horizontal lines on the forehead, but the frown lines are what it is known for being the best at treating.

A good candidate to receive Jeuveau would include anyone that wishes to reduce the appearance of their moderate to severe frown lines, or who wishes to prevent the lines from forming before they even start to develop. Those who receive Jeuveau or any other filler treatments have to be able to follow the after-care instructions to ensure that they are safe and are able to experience the most significant results from the procedure.

A good candidate must be able to avoid sweating for at least 24 hours after the procedure, so it is incredibly important to avoid all activities that are strenuous, as well as hot tubs, saunas, tanning beds, and direct sunlight. It is also key to recovery that the area that was treated is not touched, rubbed, or massaged for at least 48 hours, which can be difficult for those who sleep face down.

You may not be considered a good candidate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Consult with your provider to see if Jeuveau is a good option for wrinkle and fine-line treatment for you.
