Jeuveau®
What is Jeuveau®?
★ DR. GIBSON'S FAVORITE NEUROMODULATOR
Jeuveau® is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used in adults for a short period of time to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines).
How does Jeuveau® work?
Jeuveau® temporarily inhibits the nerve cells that signal specific muscles to contract, therefore weakening facial movements that cause fine lines and wrinkles.
What are the benefits of Jeuveau®?
Jeuveau® is FDA-approved and can help eliminate moderate to severe frown lines and glabellar lines, achieve smooth, youthful-looking skin, reduce undereye circles, and addresses lip lines. It is noted by many patients that it kicks in quicker compared to other neurotoxins, like BOTOX® or Dysport®.
What can Jeuveau® treat?
Jeuveau® can be used to treat a variety of common complaints, like:
- Glabellar lines (also known as "11 lines"): the vertical lines that develop between the eyebrows after years of frowning, scowling, and squinting.
- Excessive sweating: Jeuveau® can be used to treat excessive sweating, ( under the arms, on the palms of the hands, and on the soles of the feet.
- Crow's Feet: Jeuveau® can be used to treat Crow's feet around the eyes.
- Forehead lines: Furrowing your brow and frowning give you forehead wrinkles.
- Laugh lines: Jeuveau® can be used to treat lines around the mouth, without "freezing your face." Another benefit of Jeuveau® is that it still allows movement and looks natural.
