Is the “newtox” best for you? An introduction to Jeuveau®, the latest Botox® alternative to fight wrinkles
Rachel Moline Blankenship is always on the lookout for the “latest and greatest” aesthetic treatment to bring out your skin’s best health and appearance. Accordingly, Andromeda Aesthetics in Moneta, Virginia, offers many neurotoxin alternatives to Botox® Cosmetic. These alternatives include Jeuveau®, widely marketed as the “newtox” on the block. While it may be the newest, proven way to defeat expression lines, is this injectable treatment right for you? Find out by reading on as we answer your frequently asked questions about this exciting and ever-growing category of nonsurgical ways to soften crow’s feet, forehead lines, and more.
What category of treatment do Jeuveau® and Botox® belong to?
We’re glad to clarify! These injectable treatments are often referred to as “neurotoxins” or “neuromodulators.” We know that sounds super-clinical and like a mouthful. But, generally, these products work in much the same way. They use an active ingredient, botulinum toxin (Type A), to restrict the muscle movement that leads to the formation or progression of expression lines. These lines, wrinkles, and creases include the crow’s feet around the eyes, horizontal forehead lines, and the “frown lines,” or vertical glabellar lines that develop between the eyebrows and above the bridge of the nose. Other members of the neurotoxin/neuromodulator “family” include Xeomin® and Dysport®.
Do you offer all of these products in-house?
Yes! We know that every patient is different. Your facial anatomy is one of a kind, and preferences and goals for treatment can also vary considerably from individual to individual. Due to the variances among patients, we strive to offer many different products and alternatives within the same treatment categories. We are also highly knowledgeable about the subtle nuances of these different neurotoxins. In turn, we can work with you to select the best approach to meet your needs and exceed your goals for treatment.
So, what makes Jeuveau® different from the others?
While all neurotoxins inhibit muscle activity to smooth or soften lines and wrinkles, Jeuveau® is uniquely manufactured. It is made in a facility that produces Jeuveau® and Jeuveau® only. The formulation is also subjected to a very lengthy and exacting purification process. These characteristics add up to a product that supports safety and is free of additives and unnecessary components. Rachel appreciate how precisely she can apply Jeuveau® to get the softest, most natural-looking results. Our patients also like that the effects kick in quickly.
How quickly can I see results?
The makers of Jeuveau®, Evolus, report in studies that about half of the subjects saw noticeable improvements in the appearance of their lines after just two days.
And how long do those results stick around?
Evolus reports that Jeuveau® gets sustained results for up to four months. On average, patients receive three “touch-up” treatments at the office of Andromeda Aesthetics each year. Of course, by working with our team in Moneta, VA on skin care and other ways to prevent further damage and signs of aging, you can help to prolong those stunning results. We encourage you to contact us today to find out more. During your free consultation, we can discuss every step in the process – from minimal preparation easy and efficient treatment, to equally minimal after-care – with you. Rachel may discuss alternatives or complementary services, such as soft tissue or dermal fillers.
