Facial lines and wrinkles can be caused by age, sun exposure, and muscle contractions. Jeuveau can help diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines to give you a more youthful look.
Applications for Jeuveau
Jeuveau is recognized for its cosmetic value. Properly placed injections of Jeuveau block nerve impulses sent to muscles, weakening them to the point where they cannot contract, and temporarily eliminating moderately severe furrows and lines. Jeuveau is used to treat the following:
- Forehead furrows
- Frown lines
- Crow's feet
- Skin bands on the neck
Jeuveau Procedure and Results
Using a very fine needle, Jeuveau is injected directly into facial muscles that are causing furrows and lines. Receiving the injections requires no anesthetic, but some doctors choose to numb the area to be injected with ice packs or a topical anesthetic cream. Results can usually be seen within a few days of treatment, and typically last up to four months, although areas that are treated on a regular basis may retain results longer. Injections should be given only by qualified medical professionals.
Side Effects of Jeuveau
Injection-site side effects of Jeuveau are usually mild and temporary, and include the following:
- Pain
- Infection
- Inflammation
- Tenderness
- Swelling
- Redness
- Bleeding
- Bruising
Normal activities may be resumed immediately after receiving injections.
