If you’re exploring options to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, you’ve likely heard of both BOTOX® Cosmetic and Jeuveau®.
These two products are FDA-approved to treat dynamic facial lines, especially frown lines between the eyebrows. While they work in similar ways, they aren’t identical. How do you know which one might be right for you?
At Genesis Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa, Dr. Jayesh Panchal and his team help patients choose the right injectable to meet their goals. With decades of experience and a reputation for natural-looking results, they offer expert guidance and recommendations for a youthful appearance.
What Is Jeuveau?
Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) is a newer neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for expression lines. It was approved by the FDA in 2019 and is sometimes referred to as “Newtox” because of its similarity to BOTOX. Jeuveau is primarily used for aesthetic purposes and has gained attention for its affordability and fast onset of results.
How Does It Compare to BOTOX?
Both Jeuveau and BOTOX are forms of botulinum toxin type A. However, there are a few important differences:
- Formulation: BOTOX is made using a long-standing, proprietary manufacturing process. Jeuveau uses Hi-Pure™ Technology, which involves additional purification steps.
- FDA Approval: BOTOX is approved for both cosmetic and medical uses. Jeuveau is approved only for cosmetic treatments.
- Onset Time: Some patients report seeing the effects of Jeuveau slightly faster than BOTOX. Jeuveau results may start to appear within 2-3 days, whereas BOTOX outcomes can take 3-5 days or longer to become noticeable.
Which One Is Right for You?
Choosing between Jeuveau and BOTOX often comes down to personal preference, budget, and how your body responds to the product. Dr. Panchal evaluates each patient individually, taking into account factors such as your facial anatomy, previous injectable therapies, and desired outcomes.
Whether you’re new to neuromodulators or want to switch things up, a personalized consultation can help you make the best choice for your skin.
