Jeuveau – What to Know Before Your First Appointment
Refresh your look and soften unwanted wrinkles with Jeuveau at AboutFace Aesthetic Centers in Alexandria. Jeuveau is a modern, FDA-approved botulinum toxin treatment designed to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, forehead lines, and other dynamic wrinkles.
What Is Jeuveau?
Jeuveau is a botulinum toxin type A injectable used primarily to smooth fine lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions. Like Botox Cosmetic, Jeuveau works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted facial muscles, helping to relax them and soften the appearance of severe glabellar lines and other dynamic wrinkles.
At AboutFace in Alexandria, our experienced providers deliver personalized Jeuveau treatments to help both male patients and female patients achieve refreshed, vibrant results safely and effectively.
How It Works
Jeuveau injections target specific facial muscles responsible for creating moderate to severe wrinkles. By preventing the muscles from contracting, Jeuveau temporarily improves skin texture and reduces the appearance of vertical lines, fine lines, and forehead lines while preserving natural facial expressions.
What It’s Made Of
Jeuveau’s active ingredient is botulinum toxin type A, structurally similar to other botulinum toxin products but uniquely purified for aesthetic use. It does not contain human or animal byproducts, offering patients a highly refined wrinkle treatment option.
Developed through extensive clinical trials and drug trials snapshots, Jeuveau received FDA approval for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adult patients.
Key Uses and Outcomes
Jeuveau helps:
- Smooth moderate to severe frown lines
- Minimize forehead lines and dynamic wrinkles
- Reduce the appearance of glabellar lines between the eyebrows
- Soften nasolabial folds and crow’s feet in some cases
- Provide natural-looking, youthful results without changing your facial expressions
The Procedure – What to Expect
Your journey with Jeuveau at AboutFace in Alexandria begins with a thoughtful, customized approach designed to meet your aesthetic goals comfortably and safely.
1. Personalized Consultation and Planning
During your initial consultation, your healthcare provider will review your medical history, any medications you’re taking, and evaluate your skin and muscle activity. This is the time to discuss any concerns, including potential side effects and your desired results.
2. Preparation
The treatment area will be cleaned, and your provider may apply a topical anesthetic to reduce discomfort. Specific injection sites are carefully marked based on your facial anatomy and the areas needing improvement.
3. Injection
Jeuveau is injected into the targeted facial muscles at five strategic sites to treat frown lines and related wrinkles. The injection process usually takes 15–30 minutes.
4. Immediate Aftercare
You’ll receive aftercare instructions designed to minimize swelling, discomfort, and the risk of potential side effects like drooping eyelids or skin infection.
5. Pain and Discomfort
Most patients experience only mild discomfort during Jeuveau injections, described as a quick pinch. Ice packs and topical anesthetics can be used to enhance comfort further.
