Evolus Jeuveau Questions and Answers

As this is a new product, many people don’t have the answers they need to choose Jeuveau. To help, we have prepared a FAQ section below to guide you toward the answers to the questions you have about decreasing the signs of aging with Jeuveau.

How Does Jeuveau Work?

Like Botox, Jeuveau is made using a purified form of botulinum toxin, acting as a localized muscle relaxer. Once the substance is injected into your skin, it works to decrease the appearance of creases and lines that have developed due to age and facial expressions.

How Is Jeuveau Different From Botox, Dysport and Xeomin?

Evolus Jeuveau is different from Botox, Dysport and Xeomin in small ways. With Jeuveau, the cosmetic product uses the same toxin as the one used for Botox. This means that the products are highly interchangeable, but Jeuveau may be a better option. Choosing one cosmetic product over another depends on your unique needs and goals.

What Is in Jeuveau?

Evolus Jeuveau is a cosmetic product developed from Prabotulinumtoxin A-xvfs, a substance that operates as an acetylcholine release inhibitor in addition to a neuromuscular-blocking agent. The substance is vacuum-dried, so it becomes a powder that your dermatologist will reconstitute to administer the injections. Every vial of Jeuveau includes 100 units of botulinum toxin type A neurotoxin complex, 0.5 mg of human serum albumin and 0.9 mg of sodium chloride.

Is Jeuveau Painful?

How Long Does A Jeuveau Treatment Take?

In most cases, it takes us less than an hour to complete the full Jeuveau injection process. The actual injection takes about 10 minutes, but paperwork and preparation can add to the length of your appointment. On average, an appointment for a Jeuveau injection takes around 15 to 20 minutes. If fillers are also administered, treatment will take longer.

When Will I See Results?

As with other types of botulinum toxin injections, you may see an improvement in the signs of aging in as little as a few days. The final results of the cosmetic treatment, though, could take up to several weeks to materialize.

Most people, however, experience the results of Jeuveau for approximately three months. The amount of time that a product like this lasts depends on the individual. Everyone has a different metabolism and muscle mass. Some people may experience a shorter duration because their muscle mass is high and because their body metabolizes the substance more quickly than others.

Is There Any Downtime?

How Much Does Jeuveau Cost? Is It Affordable?

Who Shouldn’t Get Jeuveau?

If you have nerve or muscle problems, you should discuss your condition with our team prior to scheduling a treatment. Women who are pregnant or nursing should also wait to have the procedure.

What Are the Potential Complications of Jeuveau?
