Wrinkles, frown lines, and forehead creases are a common cosmetic concern, and injectable wrinkle treatments are more popular than ever. While Botox has long dominated the conversation, a newer option—Jeuveau—has quickly gained attention for its performance and affordability. But what makes Jeuveau different, and is it the right choice for you?

Preventing Wrinkles Naturally
Before jumping into injections, it’s important to know that good habits can go a long way. Sun protection, avoiding smoking, and eating a nutrient-rich diet can slow the appearance of wrinkles. However, once lines form, topical creams and lifestyle changes may not be enough — and that’s where neuromodulator treatments come in.

What Is Jeuveau?
Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) is a modern wrinkle-relaxing injectable approved by the FDA in 2019. It works by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles—such as frown lines between the eyebrows. Because of its sleek branding and appeal to younger patients, it’s often called “Newtox”, short for “new Botox.”
Although Jeuveau shares its core mechanism with other botulinum toxin type A products like Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport, it’s manufactured using a proprietary purification process and was designed exclusively for aesthetic use.

Jeuveau vs. Botox, Dysport & Xeomin
Here’s a quick breakdown of how Jeuveau compares to the others:
- Jeuveau: Purely cosmetic, competitively priced, fast-acting in many users
- Botox: FDA-approved for both cosmetic and medical conditions (e.g. migraines, sweating)
- Dysport: Known for faster diffusion, great for large treatment areas like the forehead
- Xeomin: “Naked” formulation with no accessory proteins—ideal for those with sensitivities
While all are FDA-approved and clinically proven, the subtle differences matter. Jeuveau is ideal for patients focused on wrinkle reduction who want a **modern, aesthetic-first formulation** at a better value. Many patients report seeing results in as little as 2–3 days, with a smooth, natural look.

How Long Do Results Last?
Like other neuromodulators, Jeuveau results typically last between 3–4 months. Treatment sessions take just 15–30 minutes and require no downtime. Most patients return to normal activities the same day with only minor redness or swelling at the injection site.

Who Should Avoid Neuromodulator Injections?
Injections should be avoided if you:
- 🔸 Have an active infection at the injection site
- 🔸 Are allergic to botulinum toxin
- 🔸 Are pregnant or breastfeeding
All neuromodulator injections should be administered in a licensed medical facility by trained professionals. At Skin Works Medical Spa, all injections are performed under the guidance of our board-certified medical director, Dr. Tahsini.

Final Thoughts: Is Jeuveau Right for You?
Jeuveau is a strong alternative to Botox for patients focused exclusively on aesthetic results. It’s often more affordable, acts quickly, and offers excellent results for frown lines and forehead wrinkles. While Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin remain highly effective, Jeuveau offers a fresh option for those ready to try something new.
