Jeuveau
What It Is
Jeuveau is a neuromodulator, a prescription injection that relaxes facial muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. Like other neuromodulators, it works by blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, softening lines that form from repeated facial expressions. Jeuveau is commonly used to smooth frown lines between the eyebrows.
Good Candidates
Jeuveau works best for adults with moderate frown lines who want a non-surgical option. It is suitable for those seeking preventive treatment of expression lines or those looking to soften existing wrinkles. A qualified injector will assess your skin and discuss whether this treatment aligns with your goals.
What to Expect
The procedure takes 10 to 15 minutes. After cleansing the area, your provider will inject Jeuveau into targeted muscles using a fine needle. Most people experience minimal discomfort, though some feel slight stinging at injection sites.
Recovery and Aftercare
There is no downtime. You can resume normal activities immediately, though providers typically recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, hot environments, and facial manipulations for a few hours afterward to minimize bruising and swelling.
Results and Longevity
Visible softening of frown lines typically appears within 3 to 7 days, with full results by two weeks. Effects last approximately 3 to 4 months, after which repeat treatments are needed to maintain the results.
