Jeuveau Injections: Amazing Results 2025

What is Jeuveau?

Jeuveau injections offer a modern way to address those stubborn frown lines between your eyebrows. It’s a popular choice for many looking for a smoother, more refreshed appearance.

• What it is: Jeuveau is a type of botulinum toxin A injection, often called “Newtox.”
• What it treats: It’s specifically FDA-approved to temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines, also known as glabellar lines or “11s.”
• How it works: Jeuveau works by relaxing the muscles that cause these lines.
• When you see results: Effects typically start within 2-3 days, with full results visible in about two weeks.
• How long it lasts: The smoothing effects can last for up to 4 months.
• Treatment time: The injection process itself usually takes less than 15 minutes.

Feeling like your outward appearance doesn’t match how you feel on the inside is a common concern. Life, stress, and even too much time frowning at your phone can cause lines to form. Jeuveau is designed to help you look as vibrant and confident as you feel. It’s a simple, non-surgical treatment that can make a big difference in your appearance.

Dr. Sarah Yovino is a double board-certified master injector specializing in non-surgical medical aesthetics and whole-body rejuvenation. She has perfected the art of precise injection placements, including Jeuveau injections, to improve your best features and create natural-looking, “born-with-it” results.

How Jeuveau Smooths Frown Lines

We’ve all heard the saying, “Don’t frown, or you’ll get wrinkles!” While a bit of an old wives’ tale, there’s a kernel of truth to it. Those lines that appear when you make expressions, like the pesky frown lines between your eyebrows, are called dynamic wrinkles. They form over time because of all those repetitive muscle movements. That’s exactly where Jeuveau injections step in to help!

Jeuveau works by gently targeting the specific muscles responsible for these lines: the corrugator muscles and the procerus muscle. When we make expressions, our brains send signals to these muscles, telling them to contract. Jeuveau temporarily intercepts these signals, causing the muscles to relax. This relaxation smooths out the skin above, making existing frown lines less noticeable and even helping to prevent new ones from forming. It’s a precise way to achieve a more relaxed and refreshed look, without losing your natural expressions. You can find More info about neuromodulators on our website.

The Science Behind the Smooth

At a microscopic level, Jeuveau injections contain something special called prabotulinumtoxinA. This is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. It works its magic right at the neuromuscular junction, which is like the tiny communication hub where your nerve cells talk to your muscle cells.

Specifically, Jeuveau temporarily blocks the release of a chemical messenger called acetylcholine. Think of acetylcholine as the “go” signal for your muscles to contract. By blocking its release, Jeuveau effectively pauses this communication. This leads to targeted muscle weakening, which in turn means noticeable wrinkle reduction. This clever approach ensures that while the specific muscles causing your frown lines relax, the surrounding muscles are unaffected. This allows you to keep your natural facial expressions, delivering results that look and feel authentic. Our understanding of modern skin injectables has advanced greatly, allowing for such precise and effective treatments. For more in-depth knowledge, explore Scientific research on botulinum toxin.

Jeuveau vs. Other Neurotoxin Treatments

While there are several excellent neurotoxin treatments available today, Jeuveau injections have carved out a unique space in the aesthetic world since its FDA approval in February 2019. It’s often affectionately called “Newtox” because it’s a modern neurotoxin developed with a specific focus on cosmetic use.

Structurally, Jeuveau contains the same active ingredient, botulinum toxin type A, as some other well-known neurotoxins. However, what sets it apart is its unique manufacturing process. It uses proprietary Hi-Pure™ Technology, developed in South Korea. This advanced purification process is thought by some to contribute to its specific characteristics, such as a potentially faster onset of action, meaning you might see results a little sooner!

Unlike some other neurotoxins that have multiple FDA approvals for various medical and cosmetic conditions, Jeuveau is currently FDA-approved solely for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines (those frown lines between your eyebrows). This focused development means it’s carefully designed for that specific aesthetic goal. Clinical trials have consistently shown it to be highly effective. When you’re considering Jeuveau injections versus other options, while all neurotoxins work on the same basic principle of muscle relaxation, subtle differences in their formulations can lead to variations in how quickly they work, how long they last, and how each person responds. That’s why a personalized consultation with a skilled injector at Ideal Face & Body is always the key to finding your perfect fit.

Understanding Your Jeuveau Injections Treatment

Ready to smooth out those frown lines? We understand that starting any new treatment comes with questions. At Ideal Face & Body, we believe in making sure you feel completely comfortable and informed every step of the way. Your Jeuveau injections journey with us is designed to be easy, quick, and fit right into your busy life, with almost no downtime!

Preparing for Your Appointment

Before we begin your Jeuveau injections journey, a friendly chat is always our first step. This isn’t just a formality; it’s about making sure your treatment is as safe and effective as possible! We’ll take our time to understand your medical history. This includes talking about any allergies you might have, any existing medical conditions (especially if they involve your muscles or nerves), and all the medications, vitamins, or even herbal supplements you’re taking. Knowing all this helps us tailor everything perfectly just for you.

To help you have the best experience and minimize any tiny bruises, we might suggest pausing certain medications for about a week before your visit. Think of things like blood thinners, ibuprofen, or aspirin. It’s also a good idea to skip alcohol for about 48 hours beforehand and avoid smoking. When you come in, a clean face, free of makeup or heavy creams, is ideal. This helps us keep everything super sterile for your comfort and safety. Our wonderful specialists, Dr. Sarah Yovino and Dr. Justin Yovino, will chat with you, answer all your questions, and make sure you feel totally informed and ready!

What to Expect During Your Jeuveau Injections

Now for the exciting part: the actual Jeuveau injections! You might be surprised by how quick it is. We’re talking about a procedure that usually takes less than 15 minutes – sometimes even faster than brewing your morning coffee! When you settle in, we’ll gently cleanse the area where you’ll be treated. If you’re a little sensitive, we can always apply a topical numbing cream to make sure you’re super comfortable, though many people say it just feels like a quick, minor pinch.

Next, your skilled injector will carefully mark the exact spots for the injections. For those common frown lines between your eyebrows, we typically use five precise injection points. Think of it as a little constellation of spots designed to target the muscles causing those ’11s’. The usual amount of Jeuveau for these lines is 20 units, spread out perfectly among these five spots. We use a very, very fine needle – about as thin as a strand of hair – to ensure precision and keep any discomfort to an absolute minimum. Before you know it, you’ll be done and ready to go!

Aftercare and Recovery

Here’s some great news: one of the biggest perks of Jeuveau injections is how little downtime there is! You can usually jump right back into your day after your appointment. To help you get the best possible results and keep any minor side effects at bay, we have a few simple tips for aftercare:

• Go easy on the treated area: For at least 24 hours, please avoid rubbing or massaging where you received the injections. We want to keep the Jeuveau right where it belongs!
• Stay upright: Try to keep your head up and avoid lying down or bending over too much for about four hours after your treatment.
• Take a break from heavy workouts: For 24 hours, skip those intense gym sessions or anything that gets your heart really pounding. A leisurely stroll is perfectly fine, though!
• Limit alcohol and hot spots: It’s best to avoid alcoholic drinks and super hot places like saunas or hot tubs for about 24 hours. This just helps minimize any chance of bruising or swelling.

It’s totally normal to see a little bit of bruising, redness, or slight swelling right where the injections were. But don’t worry, these tiny marks usually fade away within a few days. If you have any questions or feel unsure about anything during your recovery, please, don’t hesitate to give us a call. We’re always here to help!

Results, Longevity, and Maintenance

We know you’re eager to see those beautiful results, and with Jeuveau injections, you won’t have to wait long! At Ideal Face & Body, our goal is always to achieve natural-looking improvements that improve your features without appearing “frozen.” We want you to look like yourself, just a more refreshed and confident version! The effectiveness of Jeuveau has been carefully studied and is well-documented in many clinical trials. In fact, two separate FDA-reported trials showed that an impressive 67% and 71% of people saw significant improvements in their frown lines after Jeuveau injections, compared to only 1% in the placebo groups. That’s a huge difference! You can explore the FDA clinical trial data for even more information.

When Will I See Results?

One of the most exciting things about Jeuveau injections is how quickly they start to work. While everyone’s body is a little different, many patients begin to notice initial improvements within just 2-3 days after their treatment. Imagine seeing those first signs of smoothing so soon! For example, a study done in Europe and Canada found that 54% of patients had visible results as early as 2 days after their session. The full effect, where your frown lines are beautifully smoother and more relaxed, typically becomes clear after about two weeks. This gentle, gradual change allows for a very natural transition, leaving you with a refreshed and more youthful appearance that people will notice, but they might not be able to put their finger on why you look so good! In U.S. clinical studies, a remarkable 68% and 70% of Jeuveau patients with moderate to severe frown lines showed a 2-grade or better improvement by Day 30, truly highlighting its power.

How Long Do the Effects of Jeuveau Injections Last?

While the effects of Jeuveau injections are temporary, they are definitely durable! You can generally expect your smoother, more relaxed frown lines to last for up to 4 months. Think of it as a wonderful beauty boost that keeps on giving. While this is a good general guideline, the exact duration can vary a bit from person to person. Factors like your individual metabolism, how deep your lines were to begin with, and even your lifestyle can play a role. The good news is that some patients enjoy even longer-lasting results; in clinical studies, 38% of patients still had visible improvements at 5 months after their treatment. We’ll chat about what you can personally expect during your personalized consultation.

Maintaining Your Look: Treatment Frequency

To keep your beautifully smooth results going strong, follow-up Jeuveau injections are definitely recommended. Since the effects are temporary, over time, the muscle activity will slowly return, and those frown lines might start to make an appearance again. But don’t worry, maintaining your refreshed look is easy!

We suggest spacing your treatments at least 3 months apart. This ensures you get the best possible results and keeps everything safe and sound. A typical plan for enjoying consistent aesthetic improvements often involves an average of three treatments annually. This regular schedule is key to keeping those frown lines at bay, allowing you to continually enjoy a refreshed, confident, and vibrant appearance all year long.

• Have an infection: At the proposed injection site(s).
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding: The safety of Jeuveau in pregnant or breastfeeding individuals has not been studied, so we advise against treatment during these times.
• Suffer from certain neuromuscular disorders: Such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease), Myasthenia Gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome. These conditions can increase the risk of serious side effects.
• Have a history of breathing or swallowing difficulties: As these can be exacerbated by the distant spread of the toxin.
• Have pre-existing conditions: Such as weakness of the forehead muscles or drooping eyelids.

Frequently Asked Questions about Jeuveau

It’s completely natural to have questions when you’re considering a new treatment, and we love answering them! At Ideal Face & Body, we want you to feel fully informed and confident about your decision to explore Jeuveau injections. Here are some of the most common inquiries we hear:

Does the injection hurt?

This is often one of the first questions people ask, and we’re happy to share that most of our patients find the experience surprisingly comfortable! The needles used for Jeuveau injections are incredibly fine, designed for precision and minimal sensation. Many describe the feeling as just a tiny pinch, similar to a quick mosquito bite or a momentary poke. The entire injection process is very fast, often taking just a few minutes, which means any discomfort is fleeting. While we can certainly apply a topical numbing cream if you prefer, most of our patients find it’s not even necessary because of how quickly the procedure is completed. Our skilled injectors work with a gentle touch to ensure your experience is as pleasant as possible.

Can Jeuveau be used for other wrinkles?

It’s a great question! Jeuveau injections received its specific FDA approval for temporarily smoothing moderate to severe glabellar lines – those persistent frown lines that appear between your eyebrows, often called “the 11s.” This means it’s proven safe and effective for that particular area.

However, experienced providers often use neurotoxins like Jeuveau “off-label” to address other areas of concern. “Off-label” simply means using an approved medication for a purpose other than its initial FDA-approved indication. This is a common and accepted practice in the medical field when a physician determines it’s safe and beneficial for their patient. For example, your provider might use Jeuveau injections to soften crow’s feet around the eyes, smooth horizontal forehead lines, or even create a subtle “lip flip” to improve the upper lip. Using a neurotoxin off-label requires the expert judgment and advanced training of a qualified medical professional, like Dr. Sarah Yovino or Dr. Justin Yovino, to ensure both your safety and natural-looking results. They’ll always discuss all options with you to determine the best approach for your unique aesthetic goals. You can learn more about Understanding off-label use.

How much do Jeuveau injections cost?

When considering Jeuveau injections, understanding the investment is an important part of your decision-making process. The cost can vary, as it’s truly custom to your individual needs. Factors that influence the overall price include the number of units required to achieve your desired results (which depends on the depth of your lines and your muscle strength), as well as the expertise of your provider. At Ideal Face & Body in Beverly Hills, you’re receiving care from highly skilled professionals dedicated to precision and beautiful outcomes. It’s also important to remember that cosmetic treatments like Jeuveau are typically not covered by health insurance. During your personalized consultation, we’ll provide a clear and transparent breakdown of the costs involved, so you have a complete understanding before moving forward.
