Injecting Insight: The Differences Between Botox® and Jeuveau®
In our quest for youthful skin, neuromodulators have become modern-day marvels. While Botox® has long been the gold standard, Jeuveau® (joo-VO) has emerged as a compelling alternative. Let's explore these anti-aging injections, how they work, and what makes them different.
What Are Neuromodulators?
In the context of cosmetic procedures, neuromodulators, like Botox® and Jeuveau®, work by temporarily paralyzing or weakening facial muscles, thus reducing fine lines and wrinkles. They achieve this by blocking nerve signals to the targeted muscles, leading to a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Botox®: The Reigning Champion
Since 2002, when it became the first injectable neurotoxin approved for cosmetic use by the FDA, Botox® has been synonymous with anti-aging. Known for its versatility, Botox® addresses various areas like frown lines, horizontal forehead lines, crow's feet, and other facial wrinkles. Botox® is also approved to treat medical conditions like chronic migraines and excessive sweating.
Jeuveau®: The New Kid on the Block
Introduced in 2019, Jeuveau®, or 'Newtox,' has quickly gained popularity. It uses the same active ingredient used in Botox® injections and has proven to be just as safe and effective. Jeuveau® is primarily used for frown lines between the eyes and is noted for being less expensive than Botox®.
Botox® vs. Jeuveau®
- Formulation Differences
- The maker of Jeuveau® uses Hi-Pure technology, an advanced purification process designed to produce a highly purified form of botulinum toxin with the goal of enhancing its safety and efficacy. This makes it a better option for people who have experienced sensitivities or allergic reactions to Botox®'s proteins.
- Treatment Areas and Accessibility
- Jeuveau® focuses on frown lines, while Botox®’s application extends to a broader range of facial areas. Because Jeuveau® was designed to be used only as a cosmetic treatment, it generally costs less than Botox®.
- Onset and Results
- Jeuveau® has a quicker onset, with some patients seeing results within 24 hours, whereas Botox® may take up to two weeks. Both treatments last about 3-4 months.
Which Treatment Is Right for You?
Choosing between Botox® and Jeuveau® depends on various factors, including the area(s) you’d like treated, your budget, and any applicable medical history. It's important to consult with a licensed health care provider at Elevé MedSpa, where a treatment plan will be created uniquely for you.
