Injectables

Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) is an FDA-approved prescription injectable medication, often referred to as a "neuromodulator" or "Newtox." Jeuveau is a modern injectable treatment used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines and wrinkles. 

How Jeuveau Works

Jeuveau belongs to a class of medicines called neuromodulators (like BOTOX®).

• Active Ingredient: The active ingredient is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A.

• Mechanism of Action: When injected into the facial muscles responsible for frowning, Jeuveau temporarily blocks the nerve signals that tell the muscles to contract.

• The Result: By temporarily relaxing these specific muscles, the wrinkles and lines on the overlying skin soften and smooth out, leading to a more refreshed and youthful appearance.

The Treatment Process

• Consultation: A detailed consultation with our licensed clincian will determine if Jeuveau is right for you, discuss your aesthetic goals, and assess the strength of your facial muscles.

• Procedure: The treatment is quick, usually taking about 10–20 minutes. Your clinician will use a fine needle to administer a small amount of Jeuveau directly into the targeted muscles. Most patients describe the injection as a brief pinch.

• Downtime: There is minimal to no downtime, and you can generally return to your normal activities immediately.

When to Expect Results & Duration

• Onset: You may begin to see improvements in your frown lines within 2 to 5 days after your treatment.

• Peak Effect: The full smoothing effect is typically visible within 1 to 2 weeks.

• Duration: Results are temporary and generally last about 3 to 4 months. To maintain your smooth appearance, follow-up treatments are recommended, usually no sooner than every 90 days.

Pre-Treatment and Aftercare Instructions

Following these instructions will help maximize your results and minimize potential side effects:

Before Your Appointment:

• Avoid Blood Thinners: For 3–4 days before your injection (if medically safe and approved by your primary doctor), avoid non-prescription blood-thinners such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), fish oil, and high doses of Vitamin E, as these can increase bruising.

• Clean Face: Come to your appointment with a clean face, free of makeup.

After Your Appointment:

• Do Not Rub or Massage: Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the treated area for at least 24 hours. This prevents the product from migrating to unintended muscles.

• Stay Upright: Remain upright and avoid lying down flat for at least 4 hours after treatment.

• Avoid Intense Heat and Exercise: Skip strenuous exercise, hot tubs, saunas, and intense heat for the first 24 hours. Increased blood flow can reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.

• Makeup: You can generally apply makeup gently after 4–6 hours.

• Follow-ups: We may schedule a follow-up appointment with us 10-14 days after your initial treatment to assess your results and determine if a small touch-up is necessary.
