Botox has been the go-to anti-aging injectable for so long that many assume it is the only neurotoxin available.
And while Dysport and Xeomin have provided two additional choices, it’s safe to say that patients have had limited neuromodulator options over the past decade.
But all of that is about to change with the introduction of the newest FDA-approved neurotoxin–Jeuveau, a brand new Botox alternative.
If you would like to learn more about this Botox alternative, keep reading for everything you need to know about Jeuveau.
What Is Jeuveau?
Jeuveau is an injectable treatment designed to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles.
It is currently FDA-approved for use on glabellar lines (also known as frown lines), but many injectors are applying it off-label to correct forehead lines, crow’s feet, downturned corners of the mouth, bunny lines, and neck bands.
Why Is the Introduction of Jeuveau Exciting?
Providers and patients alike are excited about the arrival of Jeuveau!
It is the first new neurotoxin to enter the aesthetic market in almost a decade, providing an additional option for wrinkle reduction.
Is Jeuveau a Botox-Alternative?
Many women and men recognize Botox as the most popular antiaging injectable, and some even believe it is the only choice for neurotoxins.
Therefore, it’s not surprising that people want to know if Jeuveau and Botox are the same and if any differences exist between them.
Both Botox and Jeuveau are derived from botulinum toxin type A and work by temporarily paralyzing targeted facial muscles. Jeuveau is also structurally-similar to Botox and offers comparable results and safety.
For these reasons, Jeuveau is positioned to be an excellent Botox-alternative for regular Botox users or neurotoxin newcomers.
Is Jeuveau Right for Me?
If you are bothered by facial lines and wrinkles and would like to restore a smooth and youthful appearance, then Jeuveau may be right for you.
It is well-suited to healthy adults who wish to correct existing wrinkles and prevent them from worsening. Like Botox, Jeuveau may also be helpful in preventing new lines from forming and staving off signs of aging.
The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for Jeuveau is an in-person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
