Jeuveau®
Conveniently located to serve St. Louis
Jeuveau® is a prescription medicine injected into the forehead muscles to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (the glabellar lines). At our medical spa in St. Louis, Jeuveau® treatments are administered by our expert nurse injectors under the supervision of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Paul Rottler.
How Does Jeuveau® Work?
Jeuveau® contains the neuromodulator prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs as its primary ingredient. When injected, this chemical prevents your nerves from telling your facial muscles to flex. As a result, the dynamic lines on the skin above these muscles can relax, creating smoother skin.
Am I A Good Candidate for Jeuveau® Therapy?
This neuromodulator acts relatively fast compared to other ones, making it an ideal choice for treating constantly stressed glabellar lines. As a non-surgical procedure, Jeuveau® therapy is great for patients who are just starting to notice these troublesome lines and are looking for adjustable, flexible improvements.
Depending on the exact nature of your symptoms, allergies, and other patient-specific factors, we could also suggest Botox® or Dysport® instead. For wrinkles and fine lines on the middle and lower face, we offer dermal filler injectables like Restylane® Silk and multiple Juvederm® variations.
What Happens During a Jeuveau® Session?
Your Jeuveau® appointment will take place at our beautiful, state-of-the-art facility in St. Louis. You will be asked to contract the muscles in the area being treated to determine the proper locations for injection. In most cases, Jeuveau® is placed directly into the muscle with a tiny needle using a series of strategic injections. A small number of patients may feel a minor burning sensation, which is usually tolerable.
Recovery From Jeuveau® Injections
Possible side effects might include temporary discomforts such as:
- Local numbness
- Minor swelling
- Slight bruising
In rare cases, patients could experience short instances of headache and nausea. Jeuveau® has been studied in over 2,100 patients, and no serious drug-related adverse events were observed.
Most complications, if any, are of short duration and can be avoided with the proper injection techniques used by our highly professional staff. Most patients return to work or normal activity immediately following the treatment.
When Will I See My Results?
It may take up to two weeks to see the full effect of Jeuveau® injections. Results typically last from three to four months and require repeat treatments.
Jeuveau® Therapy Cost
The price of your Jeuveau® treatment plan will vary based on the severity of your symptoms and the number of sessions you schedule. We allow qualifying patients to finance the cost of their procedures through CareCredit and Alphaeon.
