Jeuveau

Jeuveau is a brand name for a neurotoxin injection, specifically a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. It is manufactured by Evolus, Inc. and is FDA-approved for temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines, also known as frown lines between the eyebrows. Jeuveau works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles in the injected area, causing them to relax. This relaxation reduces the appearance of wrinkles caused by muscle movement.

The procedure for administering Jeuveau involves injecting small amounts of the substance directly into the target muscles using a fine needle. The treatment is typically performed in a healthcare provider's office and generally takes only a few minutes. The effects of Jeuveau usually become visible within a few days to a week after treatment, with full results often seen by two weeks. The duration of the results can vary among individuals but typically lasts for up to four months.

Like other botulinum toxin injections, Jeuveau may cause side effects. Common side effects can include pain, redness, swelling, bruising at the injection site, and headache. Less common but more serious side effects can occur, such as drooping eyelids or eyebrows, and allergic reactions. It is important to discuss your medical history and any concerns with a qualified healthcare professional before undergoing treatment with Jeuveau. They can determine if Jeuveau is an appropriate option for you and explain the potential risks and benefits.
