What Is Jeuveau™ (Newtox)? A Next-Generation Wrinkle Relaxer
Newtox, officially known as Jeuveau™, is a highly purified botulinum toxin type A injectable similar to Botox®. It's a neuromodulator, meaning it works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. When injected into specific facial muscles, Jeuveau™ reduces their activity, softening the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and preventing new wrinkles from forming. Injections do not paralyze the facial muscles, they just weaken them.
While Jeuveau™ is FDA-approved for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines (the "11" lines or frown lines between the eyebrows), it's also commonly and effectively used "off-label" to treat other areas, such as crow's feet around the eyes and horizontal forehead lines.
Jeuveau™ vs. Botox®: Understanding Your Options
Both Jeuveau™ and Botox® are highly effective and safe wrinkle relaxers derived from botulinum toxin type A. However, there are some subtle yet important distinctions to consider when choosing the best treatment for you:
- Jeuveau™, sometimes called "Newtox", represents the latest innovation in neurotoxin injectables. Manufactured using a state-of-the-art purification process called Hi-Pure™ technology, Jeuveau™ is designed specifically for aesthetic use. Some studies suggest that Jeuveau™ may have a slightly faster onset of action than Botox®, meaning you might see visible results sooner. It's an excellent option for those new to neurotoxins or seeking a preventative approach to wrinkle reduction.
- Botox® is the most established and widely recognized neurotoxin brand that has a long and proven track record of safety and efficacy. It has been FDA-approved for a wider range of both cosmetic and therapeutic uses, including treating excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), migraines, and certain muscle spasms.
There is no cookie-cutter approach to neurotoxins as Dr. Ahmad will carefully consider your individual needs, aesthetic goals, and medical history to recommend the most appropriate neurotoxin for you. During your consultation, he will discuss the nuances of each option with you and ensure you're equipped to make an informed decision.
Benefits of Jeuveau™: A Refreshed and Rejuvenated You
Jeuveau™ offers numerous benefits for those seeking a non-surgical approach to wrinkle reduction:
Significant and Noticeable Wrinkle Reduction
Jeuveau™ effectively smooths out dynamic wrinkles, including moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles. It can also soften other wrinkles like bunny lines (on the nose) and smoker's lines (around the mouth). These improvements create a more youthful and refreshed appearance, restoring a smoother complexion.
Quick, Comfortable, and Convenient Treatment
Jeuveau™ injections are quick, typically taking only about 10-20 minutes to administer. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort, especially when patients ice afterward. Some prefer to use a topical anesthetic, but the more numbed you are, the longer the treatment will take. There is virtually no downtime associated with Jeuveau™ injections, and while some patients have small bumps from the volume of the neurotoxin, they flatten within an hour, so you can return to your normal activities immediately following your treatment.
Natural-Looking Results That Enhance Your Features
Dr. Ahmad is highly skilled in achieving natural-looking results with Jeuveau™. He uses a precise injection technique, carefully considering your facial anatomy and muscle movements, to ensure subtle enhancements that soften wrinkles without creating a "frozen" or expressionless look. He prioritizes preserving your natural expressiveness while enhancing your overall appearance. His aim is always symmetry, which is often what patients are most thrilled to see.
Temporary Results Allow for Flexibility and Adjustments
The effects of Jeuveau™ injections are temporary, typically lasting between three to four months, or sometimes even longer. Dr. Ahmad always advises patients to stay consistent in their appointments, as that will ensure the best results, and he can make adjustments to your treatment plan as your needs and aesthetic goals evolve. If you decide not to continue treatments, your facial muscles will gradually regain their full function.

What to Expect During Your Jeuveau™ Treatment: A Relaxing Experience
Your comfort is our top priority throughout your Jeuveau™ treatment. Before the injections, we can apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment areas to minimize any potential discomfort. Dr. Ahmad will then use an ultra-fine needle to inject a precise amount of Jeuveau™ into the targeted muscles. The entire procedure usually takes just a few minutes, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. You can resume your regular activities immediately following your appointment. Bruising is not uncommon after injections, but Dr. Ahmad strives to avoid it if possible and recommends arnica to help limit it.
