Jeuveau
These treatments temporarily reduce muscle activity to smooth wrinkles for a youthful look, administered by our experienced professionals for your safety.
How does Jeuveau Work
Jeuveau works by using a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, similar to other botulinum toxin products like Botox and Dysport. It's specifically designed to temporarily paralyze or weaken the muscles that contribute to wrinkles, particularly those known as dynamic wrinkles which are formed by repeated facial expressions such as frowning, squinting, or smiling.
Here’s a closer look at how Jeuveau operates:
- Blocking Nerve Signals: When Jeuveau is injected into a muscle, it blocks the nerve signals that cause the muscle to contract. This is achieved by preventing the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for triggering muscle contractions.
- Muscle Relaxation: As the treated muscles relax, the skin above them becomes smoother, leading to a reduction in the appearance of existing wrinkles and preventing new ones from forming.
- Temporary Effects: The effects of Jeuveau are temporary because the nerve endings eventually regenerate, and the muscle action gradually returns. The results typically last between 3 to 6 months, after which the treatment can be repeated to maintain the desired effect.
Jeuveau is particularly effective for treating wrinkles on the forehead, crow's feet around the eyes, and glabellar lines (the frown lines between the eyebrows). It’s important to have Jeuveau injections performed by a qualified healthcare provider to ensure proper technique, correct dosage, and to minimize risks or side effects.

How long does Jeuveau take to work?
Results from Jeuveau injections can typically be seen within 2-3 days, with the peak effect occurring around 30 days after treatment.
How does Jeuveau work?
Jeuveau works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles where it is injected, which reduces muscle activity and temporarily prevents the contraction of these muscles that cause frown lines.
Can Jeuveau be used for other areas of the face?
While Jeuveau is FDA-approved specifically for the treatment of Glabellar lines, some practitioners use it "off-label" for other areas of the face, similar to other botulinum toxin products.
