There is a new neuromuscular relaxer that we have been using for about a year and have been very happy with the results it delivers. Meet Jeuveau.
What is Jeuveau?
Jeuveau is a neuromuscular relaxer (NMR) similar to Botox. These products (NMRs) – Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau – when injected into muscles in the face, relax those muscles for a cosmetic or even medical benefit. We use 4 different relaxers at CSL. Our choice of relaxer has to do with the area being treated, thickness and distribution of the muscles, and patient personal preference and past experience. Sometimes choice is based on rewards programs or bonuses being offered by the relaxer manufacturer.
Benefits of Jeuveau
- + May notice more rapid and prominent results compared to those of Botox
- + All neurotoxins need a bit of time to begin providing visible results and with Botox, this timeframe is often 72 hours post-injection
- + Visible results are seen as soon as 24-48 hours. At 2 weeks, both Botox and Jeuveau reach their peak, at which their efficacy is matched, with results lasting anywhere from 3-4 months.
Why do we recommend Jeuveau?
Observations from Jeuveau treatment have included a quicker onset of action, a slightly longer lasting effect and sometimes a feel of a stronger relaxation versus other injectables. Currently we are able to offer Jeuveau at a lower price point that the other relaxers which is often a motivating factor. Sometimes it is just nice to try something new as you might like it better than the product we have been previously injecting. In the next year, we are expected 2 additional relaxers to come to market – one of which has a much longer duration of effect (up to 6 months).
Staying at the forefront of cosmetic developments and continuing to deliver expert care to our patients is a primary goal at Charlotte Skin & Laser. We strive to apply our knowledge and expertise to help you look and feel your best.
