Jeuveau injectable treatment is an effective and innovative procedure for facial rejuvenation.  At the time of the pre-treatment consultation, the injection provider will inform the patient about the various benefits and limitations of the procedure. Some providers also choose to display Jeuveau before and after images to the patient at this time.  These pictures can enable the patient to achieve a better understanding of the various facets of Jeuveau cosmetic dermatology procedure. Displaying these photos helps them comprehend the potential outcomes of the treatment and creates an environment of trust and transparency between the provider and the patient.   Upon reviewing these images, the patient is better positioned to make an enlightened decision on the procedure. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides safe, proven and effective health and cosmetic procedures to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.  

Creating a Connection with New Patients

By showing Jeuveau before and after photos to the patient, the injection provider can form a connection with a new patient more easily.  The patient views these pictures and understands how Jeuveau injections helped address the facial aging concerns of other patients, which enables them to feel more confident and reassured about receiving the treatment themselves.  Most candidates would feel that Jeuveau can be an effective treatment for them as well. The real results of Jeuveau shown through before and after images can help create an environment of trust between the treatment provider and the patient.   

Pictures Speak More Eloquently than Words

Jeuveau ‘before and after’ images can help create a more compelling case for a new patient compared to mere words. Words can be misinterpreted, confusing, or simply incredulous.  However, the barriers of language do not impact images. They always present the true story. But the provider should not modify or photo-shop these pictures as doing so can be misleading to the patient.  The saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words” certainly holds true for before and after photos of cosmetic procedure such as Jeuveau. There is not an image of this exact treatment on the website currently but that does not mean that cannot change at any time and this just means that you should ask for an image of this treatment during the consultation. That is pivotal and will help you understand what to expect.   

Potential to Increase Awareness 

Social media channels have created new possibilities to connect with thousands of people and share photos to create awareness of innovative procedures such as Jeuveau.  The treatment provider can use social media forums to share before and after photos of Jeuveau treatment to inform thousands of people who may be seeking a non-surgical treatment to reduce signs of facial aging and improve their appearance.  The provider or their marketing team can use popular image-sharing platforms such as Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook to share Jeuveau before and after photos.  

Developing Realistic Expectations

Jeuveau injectable treatment offers significant improvements in signs of facial aging. But the results will still not be comparable to facial plastic surgery procedures, such as a facelift. Therefore, it is prudent for patients to have realistic expectations from the injectable procedure.  Dr. Farah is extremely transparent and wants every patient of his to be comfortable regardless of the decision they make. Upon starting out with reasonable expectations, the patient can appreciate the final results in a better manner. It also decreases the risk of any disappointments in the future when it may be difficult to reverse the results of the procedure.

Jeuveau injectable treatment is an FDA-approved procedure meant to reduce frown lines and other wrinkles on the face.  It offers an ideal, albeit temporary, solution for people seeking a more youthful facial appearance in a non-surgical manner.  During the pre-treatment consultation, the Jeuveau injection provider will discuss various aspects of the procedure with the patient, including its estimated costs.  Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides safe, proven and effective health and cosmetic procedures to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding communities.   

Cost-Effective Treatment 

Jeuveau is among the more cost-effective treatment options in comparison to various other non-surgical and surgical procedures for facial rejuvenation.  Cosmetic surgery options to reduce signs of aging on the face, such as a traditional or mini facelift can cost much more than a temporary injectable treatment, such as Jeuveau. In general, even upper face surgical procedures such as brow lift, forehead lift, or eyelid lift will be significantly more costly than Jeuveau injections.  Chemical peels, laser skin tightening, and dermal fillers are some non-surgical procedures for facial rejuvenation. However, most of the treatments will also be significantly more expensive in comparison to Jeuveau injectable procedure. There will be downtime associated with many of these treatments. But the patient will not need to take leave from their workplace to recover from Jeuveau injections. And there are no other post-treatments expenses involved. In comparison to Botox, Jeuveau is likely to be significantly less costly.  

Factors Impacting the Sticker Price

The costs of Jeuveau injectable treatment may differ between practices.  The primary reason for this difference is the geographical location of the practice. The living costs in main urban centers and major cities will usually be higher due to the differences in costs between various states. For instance, a cosmetic treatment in Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations may not cost the same as in Houston, TX. Another important factor impacting the cost of Jeuveau treatment is the background and qualifications of the injection provider.  In the hands of a highly skilled and experienced treatment provider, the procedure may cost more.  The main component in Jeuveau is a powerful biological agent, which can lead to serious complications if administered improperly. Therefore, patients should undergo Jeuveau treatment only in the hands of a qualified and experienced specialist in the field of cosmetic procedures.   

Average Price to Consider

The actual Jeuveau costs will vary between practices, depending on whether they charge per vial or per treatment. Some patients may only require minor improvements in particular facial areas, while others may require more extensive treatment in various areas of the face.   Sometimes the manufacturer or practitioners may offer promotional discounts, which the patient can benefit from.  Every patient will need a different number of Jeuveau injections, which will impact the cost of the procedure between two patients, even at the same practice. During the initial consultation, the patient should discuss the cost implications with the provider to make a judicious choice.   

Financing Options

Patients can choose from various options, such as credit cards, professional medical care finance companies, and private loans from friends and family, to finance their Jeuveau injectable treatment.

Revanesse Versa is a hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler that combines cutting-edge production techniques, optimal ingredients, and rigorous quality testing to provide dramatic outcomes to people seeking to take control of their appearance.  Revanesse is a proven dermal filler injection, with more than three million syringes used globally since 2012. The dermal filler is meant to correct the appearance of facial creases and wrinkles (nasolabial folds). The product has received FDA approval for use in the United States. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides cosmetic injectable med spa treatments to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.  

The Versa Difference

Not all dermal fillers are created equal. An innovative formula, top-quality ingredients, and state-of-the-art production techniques ensure that Revanesse Versa is optimized for excellent outcomes. Versa is made in small batches, in the manufacturer's own advanced facility to maximize safety and quality. Versa is a very homogenous filler because of an advanced wet milling technology and proprietary formula, meaning that the particles are uniquely even and spherical. This offers a perfect balance between volume and smoothness.  Versa only uses top-notch premium grade HA with notably higher molecular weight. A recent study indicates that another sought-after HA dermal filler was shown to create inflammation 24 percent more often than Versa. The lower rate of inflammation of Revanesse Versa means that many patients are able to resume their lives almost instantly after the injectable procedure.   

FDA-Approved Filler with Unique Technology

In 2017, the FDA approved Revanesse Versa. It was subsequently launched in January 2018. This dermal filler is based on an innovative and highly controlled wet milling technology, which is the process used in gel creation. The gel is pressed through a series of screens. This creates even particle size, shape, and an overall smoother gel.   

Less Swelling, Less Downtime

For more even outcomes, Versa is uniform and well-balanced in its composition. A key advantage of Versa’s spherical molecules is that they cause less swelling. Clinical trials show that Versa caused 24 percent less inflammation compared to other fillers.  This is a major benefit for patients as less swelling translates to less downtime for them. In theory, the small and consistent molecules encourage optimal tissue integration, which makes it less likely for the body to detect it as a foreign substance.   

Quality Control

Before distribution, Revanesse Versa undergoes intensive lab testing. Every syringe is checked individually to make sure that it is safe and effective. The manufacturer states that the manufacture of smaller batches offers the patient with top-quality and fresher products.  To date, one million syringes of Revanesse Versa have been sold worldwide with no reported cases of nodules or granulomas.  

Natural Looking Results

Versa filler gel is consistent due to the use of the advanced wet milling technology and its proprietary formulation. This means that the filler gel particles are uniform and uniquely spherical for a perfect balance between volume and smoothness for homogenous and natural looking results.   

Higher Sustainability

Revanesse Versa’s spherical particle shape enables it to be more easily assimilated by the body. The gel disintegrates slowly over time in the deeper layers of tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is Jeuveau? Glabellar lines or “frown lines” are the pesky little wrinkles between the eyebrows that just refuse to go away. Jeuveau is an injectable treatment that can temporarily soften the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults.  How does Jeuveau work? Jeuveau disrupts communication from the nerves telling the facial muscles to flex. The outcome? Clinical trials show that Jeuveau temporarily improved the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines. The results of two long-term safety studies indicate that patients received an average of three treatments over the span of one year.  What are the outcomes with Jeuveau? In two major clinical trials, when researchers evaluated at the 30-day mark, 67.5 percent of patients in one study and 70.4 percent of participants in a second study were responders defined as a 2-point composite improvement agreed upon by doctor and patient.  What is it like before and after treatment?

Evolus’s Jeuveau has been approved by the FDA to treat frown lines around eight months after the agency refused to approve the drug, citing inadequacies pertaining to the chemistry and production of the product. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides cosmetic injectable med spa treatments to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.    

FDA Approval for Evolus – A Game Changer

The FDA’s approval for Evolus is set to change the market dynamics for anti-aging injectable treatments. Evolus Chief Executive Officer David Moatazedi stated in an interview before the FDA's decision that they saw Evolus’ entry into this market as very disruptive.  Evolus expects Jeuveau prices to be around 20 to 25 percent less than those of Botox. In addition, it is likely to become available throughout the US at doctor offices starting Spring 2019, according to the company. Botox is expected to experience challenges for its therapeutic uses from competitors, but its aesthetic uses have mostly remained unchallenged.  Botox was introduced in 2002. It has evolved over the years from a cosmetic injection to treatment for bladder dysfunction and migraines. In 2018, this medication brought in $3.58 billion in revenues for Allergan.  Botox alternatives such as anti-wrinkle injections like Merz Pharma’s Xeomin or Nestle’s Dysport have not been able to accomplish the success enjoyed by Botox.  Revance Therapeutics, headquartered in Newark, California, is also in the process of developing a Botox rival, which could offer longer effect in wrinkle treatment. Moatazedi said that their entry with Jeuveau would garner significant interest not just from the medical professionals, but equally from the patients.    

Challenging Botox Dominance

Evolus’ Jeuveau (DWP-450) (prabotulinum toxin A) will likely be a strong rival to Allergan’s Botox (botulinum toxin type A) for the treatment of severe frown lines.  Jeuveau will have some room for non-label use for the cosmetic reduction of wrinkles as well as non-cosmetic treatment areas such as spasms and migraines. Experts are trying to evaluate how Jeuveau will perform in the market in comparison to Frankfurt, Germany-based Merz Pharma’s Xeomin and Ipsen Biopharm’s Dysport, considering that all these products comprise the same toxin.  The proposed duration of outcomes for Jeuveau and Botox is nearly three months.  Experts and analysts alike expect FDA approval for Jeuveau, stating that previous positive Phase III trials that confirm a similar safety and efficacy profile to Botox.  According to experts, both products are easily interchangeable due to their safety and efficacy profiles.   

Market vs. Xeomin, Dysport Tougher to Predict

Experts believe that the potential price reduction for Jeuveau may position it as a strong rival to Botox, but there is uncertainty about the Jeuveau market place in comparison to Xeomin and Dysport. Xeomin received FDA-approval in July 2010 and Dysport in April 2009. All three, Xeomin, Dysport and Botox, comprise the same toxin, and so will Jeuveau. Therefore, there is no significant distinguishing factor in their similar cosmetic applications, according to Weiss and Friedmann. The company’s spokesperson elaborates that Jeuveau will be the first known 900kDa molecule in the United States since Botox.  He added that the dosing, storage, and injection techniques would be the same as Botox, unlike Dysport and Xeomin.

The extensive range of injectable filler options available on the market may seem daunting to new patients. But ultimately, the wide array of med spa options is great news for patients hoping to attain a more youthful appearance. Skilled facial filler injection providers can make use of the differences in the density, texture, and intended depths to create subtle and natural looking results for patients. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides cosmetic filler injections to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding communities.  

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are the most sought-after type of dermal filler used today. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeon (ASPS), it is usually a “good choice” as it is so naturally compatible with the body. HA is a substance that is found naturally in cells. It transfers "essential nutrients" from the bloodstream to the skin. HA plumps and hydrates the skin as well as restore elasticity and volume.   In general, HA fillers are gel-like and soft in texture. The outcomes are temporary due to the biocompatibility of this substance. A majority of patients experience visible outcomes for 6 to 12 months before the body absorbs the HA naturally. Some HA soft tissue fillers contain the numbing agent lidocaine, which helps minimize minor discomfort to patients during and after the injectable procedure. FDA-Approved HA Fillers

• Juvederm
• Restylane
• Restylane Silk
• Voluma
• Perlane
• Belotero

 

Calcium Hydroxylapatite Filler – Radiesse

Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHa) is one of the densest dermal filler options according to the ASPS. Similar to HA, CaHa also occurs naturally in the human body. This is a "mineral-like" compound which is mainly found in human bones. CaHa comprises of small particles that are suspended in a smooth gel. The texture is significantly thicker than HA, and this translates into more sustainable results. Most patients who undergo CaHa injectable dermal filler med spa treatment will experience a dramatic improvement in wrinkles and fine lines for 12 to 18 months before the substance is naturally absorbed by the body. As this filler has a heavier texture, it is usually recommended by cosmetic surgeons to treat deeper wrinkles and folds. This filler can be used to correct frown lines, nasolabial folds, or to significantly sculpt the jawline, cheeks, nose, or chin. Radiesse is the most popular FDA approved CaHA filler.  

Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) Filler – Sculptra Aesthetic

Poly-L-Lactic acid, also called Polylactic acid or PLLA, is a synthetic dermal filler injectable. The substance does not occur naturally in the human body. But it has a high degree of biocompatibility. For over 40 years, it has been approved for use in medicine in various forms, such as absorbable stitches or sutures. PLL stimulates the production of collagen. This creates natural looking, beautiful improvements in facial appearance.   Poly-L-Lactic acid is a dense filler substance and is often used to treat deep facial wrinkles. Outcomes usually sustain for at least two years. The ASPS indicates that PLLA outcomes are usually not instant as it works by stimulating the production of new collagen. Patients who receive PLLA filler injections will experience gradual improvements over a few months following their final treatment. Sculptra Aesthetic, which is the only FDA-approved PLLA filler, requires three to six treatments.
