WHAT EXACTLY IS JEUVEAU (PRABOTULINUMTOXINA-XVFS)?
You know those pesky little wrinkles between your eyebrows that won’t go away? Well, they're called glabellar lines, also referred to as "frown lines" or "elevens." Jeuveau is a prescription injectable treatment that works to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines in adults.
HOW DOES JEUVEAU WORK?
When injected, Jeuveau temporarily prevents your nerves from telling your facial muscles to flex. The result? In clinical trials, Jeuveau was shown to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines.
JEUVEAU Injectable Procedure and Results
Using a very fine needle, Jeuveau injectable is placed directly into facial muscles that are causing furrows and lines. No anesthetic is required, 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 3 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 Injectable
Side effects of Jeuveau injectable are usually mild and temporary, and normal activities may be resumed immediately after receiving injections. Injection-site side effects include the following:
- Pain
- Infection
- Inflammation
- Tenderness
- Swelling
- Redness
- Bleeding
- Bruising
Eyelids can droop when Jeuveau injections are made in the glabellar region; they usually return to normal within 3 weeks. Side effects of Jeuveau injectable are the same as those of BOTOX Cosmetic.
