Wrinkles can become a major concern as we age, and finding the right treatment to smooth those fine lines and rejuvenate your appearance is key. Jeuveau, often referred to as Newtox, offers a cutting-edge solution.
This botulinum toxin type A injection is designed to treat wrinkles and prevent further aging. But it doesn't stop at just treating wrinkles—Jeuveau has a broad range of uses that can help you look and feel your best.
Keep reading to discover more about how Jeuveau works and the conditions it treats.
What Is Jeuveau?
Jeuveau, like Botox, is a neurotoxin derived from Clostridium botulinum, and it functions by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles. When injected, it prevents muscle contractions that cause wrinkles and fine lines to form.
Approved by the FDA, Jeuveau focuses primarily on cosmetic treatments, and its efficacy in smoothing out moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows has made it a go-to solution for those looking to achieve a more youthful appearance.
Jeuveau works similarly to other botulinum toxin treatments, but many people appreciate its smoother results, especially in younger patients seeking preventative treatments. It is particularly suited for those looking to target early signs of aging.
Conditions That Benefit from Jeuveau
Jeuveau is more than just an anti-aging treatment—it is a versatile solution that addresses a variety of cosmetic and functional concerns, making it a go-to option for a wide range of patients.
Here’s an expanded look at the conditions that can benefit from this innovative treatment:
1. Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines)
Jeuveau is highly effective in reducing frown lines, also known as 11 lines or glabellar lines, which form between the eyebrows from repeated muscle movements like frowning or squinting. These deep lines can make the face appear older, tired, or even angry.
Jeuveau works by relaxing the underlying muscles responsible for these lines, smoothing the skin in the process. Since the treatment relaxes the muscles, it not only softens existing lines but also helps prevent new ones from forming, offering a dual action for both treatment and prevention.
2. Crow’s Feet
Crow's feet, those fine lines that form around the outer corners of the eyes due to smiling, laughing, or squinting, are a common area of concern. Jeuveau targets the muscles that cause these lines to form, gently relaxing them and smoothing the skin around the eyes.
The result is a refreshed and more youthful appearance, without the frozen look that some patients worry about. Jeuveau’s precision allows for subtle improvements that enhance natural expressions while minimizing the appearance of crow's feet.
3. Forehead Wrinkles
Horizontal forehead wrinkles are another area where Jeuveau shines. These lines develop over time due to repeated muscle contractions, particularly when raising your eyebrows. Jeuveau temporarily reduces the activity of these muscles, leading to a smoother forehead.
Because it works on dynamic wrinkles—those that appear when you are making facial expressions—it helps create a balanced, youthful look that isn’t overdone, allowing for natural movement without the wrinkles.
4. Bunny Lines
Bunny lines, the small wrinkles that form on the sides of your nose when you scrunch or smile, are often overlooked but can be effectively treated with Jeuveau. These lines may deepen with age and make the nose appear more aged or rigid.
By relaxing the muscles responsible for these lines, Jeuveau softens their appearance, giving a smoother look to the nose area and improving the overall balance of your facial features.
5. Brow Lift
For those experiencing sagging brows or a tired, droopy appearance, Jeuveau offers a non-invasive alternative to a surgical brow lift. By relaxing the muscles that pull the brows downward, it creates a subtle lifting effect.
This opens up the eye area, making you look more awake and youthful without the need for invasive surgery. The results are natural-looking, with no need for incisions or recovery time, making it a convenient option for a quick refresh.
6. Lip Lines (Smoker’s Lines)
Smoker’s lines, or the vertical lines that develop around the mouth, are often caused by repetitive movements like puckering or speaking. These lines can make lips look thinner and more aged.
Jeuveau helps to minimize these lines by softening the muscle contractions around the lips, creating a more youthful, fuller lip contour. It's especially effective for those who are not ready for dermal fillers but want to improve the appearance of their lips.
7. Gummy Smile
A gummy smile, where too much gum tissue is visible when you smile, can be aesthetically unappealing to some. Jeuveau can be injected into the muscles that control the upper lip, relaxing them and reducing the amount of gum that shows when you smile.
The result is a more balanced, attractive smile without the need for invasive procedures. This treatment is quick, effective, and has minimal downtime, making it an ideal option for those looking to improve their smile without surgery.
8. Chin Dimples
Dimples on the chin can be a cosmetic concern for those who want a smoother, more uniform appearance. Jeuveau can be injected into the chin area to reduce the appearance of these dimples by relaxing the underlying muscles. This results in a smoother, more refined chin, enhancing the overall symmetry of the face and providing a more youthful look.
9. Jawline Slimming
Jawline slimming with Jeuveau is an excellent option for individuals looking to reduce the appearance of a square jaw caused by enlarged masseter muscles (often from teeth grinding or jaw clenching).
By relaxing these muscles, Jeuveau can create a softer, more contoured jawline. This non-surgical treatment can also relieve tension in the jaw, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits. The procedure is simple and effective, offering a sleeker, more feminine facial appearance.
10. Neck Bands (Platysmal Bands)
Neck bands, also known as platysmal bands, can become more visible with age as the muscles in the neck become more pronounced. These vertical bands can create a sagging or wrinkled appearance in the neck area.
Jeuveau can be used to relax the muscles that form these bands, resulting in a smoother, more youthful neck. This treatment is ideal for those looking to address early signs of aging in the neck without undergoing more invasive procedures like a neck lift.
These conditions show the versatility of Jeuveau in addressing various aesthetic concerns, from fine lines to broader facial issues. By targeting specific muscles responsible for these imperfections, Jeuveau offers a non-invasive, quick solution that delivers noticeable, long-lasting results.
Whether you’re looking to enhance your smile, smooth wrinkles, or rejuvenate your neck, Jeuveau can be tailored to meet your unique needs.
Preparing for Jeuveau
Proper preparation for your Jeuveau treatment is essential to guarantee the best results and minimize side effects. Here are some best practices to consider:
Consultation. Before undergoing Jeuveau, it is important to have a thorough consultation with our provider. During this session, discuss your medical history, any medications you are currently taking, and your desired results. Your practitioner will assess whether Jeuveau is the right treatment for you based on your specific needs.
Avoid Blood Thinners. To minimize the risk of bruising, avoid taking blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and certain supplements like fish oil or vitamin E at least a week before your treatment. Always consult with your healthcare provider before stopping any medications.
Stay Hydrated. Being well-hydrated helps your skin respond better to the treatment. Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment to ensure your body is in its best state.
Limit Alcohol Intake. Alcohol can increase the likelihood of bruising and swelling. It’s advisable to avoid alcohol for at least 24-48 hours before your appointment.
Avoid Skincare Treatments. Refrain from getting any facial treatments, such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or exfoliating facials, for at least a week before your Jeuveau session. These treatments can make your skin more sensitive to irritation after a neurotoxin injection.
