Jeuveau (BOTOX® Cosmetic)

Jeuveau (BOTOX Cosmetic) is indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity in adult patients. Jeuveau  is a prescription drug that, when injected, temporarily paralyzes muscles. It is used to treat permanent furrows and deep wrinkles in the skin that are formed by the continual contraction of facial muscles.

Applications for Jeuveau 

Properly placed injections of Jeuveau  block nerve impulses sent to muscles, weakening them to the point where they cannot contract, and temporarily eliminating moderately severe furrows and lines. Jeuveau  is used to treat the following:

  • Forehead furrows
  • Frown lines
  • Crow's feet
  • Skin bands on the neck

 

Jeuveau Procedure and Results

Using a very fine needle, Jeuveau is injected directly into facial muscles that are causing furrows and lines. Receiving the injections requires no anesthetic, but some doctors choose to numb the area to be injected with ice packs or a topical anesthetic cream. Results can usually be seen within a few days of treatment, and typically last up to four months, although areas that are treated on a regular basis may retain results longer. Injections should be given only by qualified medical professionals.

Side Effects of Jeuveau 

Injection-site side effects of Jeuveau  are usually mild and temporary, and include the following:

  • Pain
  • Infection
  • Inflammation
  • Tenderness
  • Swelling
  • Redness
  • Bleeding
  • Bruising

Normal activities may be resumed immediately after receiving injections.
