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? People undergoing treatment for the first time may be understandably anxious.
