Jeuveau® and Botox®

Botox and Jeuveau

What is Jeuveau (AKA “NewTox”)?

Jeuveau, like BOTOX^®, uses purified botulinum toxin to temporarily relax the small muscle groups that cause dynamic wrinkles. When these compounds are injected into muscle tissue, they block nerve signals so that 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. According to clinical trials, both compounds share a similar safety profile and are equally effective for treating dynamic wrinkles

How Often Do You Have to Get BOTOX® or Jeuveau to Get the Full Benefits?

Generally, we recommend having a second round of injections three or four months after your first appointment. After you’ve had two or three treatments, however, you may only need to have “top up” injections once every three to six months. Repeated BOTOX® or Jeuveau injections may gradually train targeted muscles to remain in a more relaxed state, making results potentially more long lasting.
