"NEWTOX"
JEUVEAU
Jeuveau, like BOTOX®, uses purified botulinum toxin to temporarily relax the small muscle groups that cause dynamic wrinkles. When injected into muscle tissue, they block nerve signals so the brain can no longer instruct treated muscles to move.
Though they work similarly, Jeuveau and BOTOX® are made by different manufacturers and produced in different countries. BOTOX® is made by Allergan and manufactured in Ireland, whereas Jeuveau is made by Evolus and produced in South Korea. Jeuveau also uses a slightly different form of botulinum toxin than BOTOX®: BOTOX® contains onabotulinumtoxinA and Jeuveau contains prabotulinumtoxinA. Both compounds share a similar safety profile and are equally effective for treating dynamic wrinkles.
How Often Should I Receive "NEWTOX?"
Generally, we recommend having a second round of injections two to four weeks after your first appointment. However, after you’ve had two or three treatments, you may only need “touch up” injections every three to six months. Repeated injections may gradually train targeted muscles to remain in a more relaxed state, potentially making results last longer.
Though there’s no way to make any neuromodulator last forever, but there are ways to extend your results:
-
Set up a long-term treatment plan. Having injections regularly will keep your muscles and skin smooth, preventing “rebound wrinkles.”
-
Follow proper aftercare protocol. Don’t vigorously scrub or massage your face for 24 hours after having Jeuveau injections. Also, don’t have skin tightening or laser treatments that heat the skin for at least 3 days after the injection. Heat can make the medicine less effective.
-
Stay out of the sun. Sunlight speeds up the aging process and breaks down collagen and elastin. This makes the skin thinner, weaker, and more prone to developing new wrinkles.
-
Prepare for your treatment correctly. To decrease the risk of bruising, avoid using alcohol the day before or blood thinners for two weeks before treatment.
