Jeuveau is an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines (glabellar lines) in adults.

Mechanism of Action:

Jeuveau works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that causes muscles to contract. By inhibiting acetylcholine release, Jeuveau relaxes the muscles that contribute to frown lines, smoothing out the wrinkles.

Benefits:

• Temporary improvement of frown lines.
• May last longer than other neurotoxins, such as Botox.
• Can be used in conjunction with other cosmetic treatments

Procedure:

Jeuveau is injected directly into the muscles that cause frown lines. The treatment typically takes less than 30 minutes.

Side Effects:

Common side effects include:
bruising, swelling, redness, headache, and pain.

Rare but serious side effects may include:
Allergic reactions, Muscle weakness, and Difficulty breathing.

Precautions:

• Jeuveau is not suitable for people with certain medical conditions, such as muscle weakness, botulism infection, or a history of allergic reactions to botulinum toxin.
• It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
• Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking before receiving Jeuveau.
