What is Botox Cosmetic?
Botox Cosmetic® is the brand name for botulinum toxin A — a safe to use formula that blocks certain nerve signals that make muscles contract when it is injected into treated areas. The muscles then relax, reducing unwanted wrinkles or built up tension. Botox injections are noninvasive and nonsurgical, so you can resume daily activities right after treatment. It is the only FDA-approved product to temporarily improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet lines in adults.
The most common treatment areas of Botox are:
Frown lines / 11’s / Glabellar lines
Forehead lines
Crow’s feet
Bunny lines
Chin dimples
Neck bands
Lips (lip flip)

What is Jeuveau?
Jeuveau is another brand of botulinum toxin type A, similar to Botox Cosmetic. It is used for cosmetic purposes to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. Like Botox Cosmetic, Jeuveau works by temporarily paralyzing or relaxing the muscles responsible for creating facial wrinkles.
Jeuveau is most commonly used to address wrinkles and lines on the forehead, around the eyes (crow's feet), and between the eyebrows (frown lines).
When Will I See Results from Jeuveau?
Similar to Botox Cosmetic, Jeuveau provides temporary results. Patients typically start noticing improvements within a few days, with the full effects becoming more apparent after about two weeks. Maintenance treatments are required to sustain the results over time.
Is Jeuveau Safe?
Jeuveau is safe when administered by trained and licensed healthcare professionals. As with any medical aesthetics treatment, there are potential risks and side effects. During your wellness consultation, ask your provider questions, discuss potential risks, and fill them in on any pre-existing health conditions.

What is the Difference Between Botox and Jeuveau?
Manufacturer: Botox Cosmetic is manufactured by Allergan, a well-established pharmaceutical company. Jeuveau is produced by Evolus, a slightly newer player in the aesthetic medicine industry. Both products and formulations are FDA approved.
Pricing: Jeuveau has been marketed as a more affordable alternative to Botox, with some providers across America offering it at a lower cost per unit. The pricing and marketing strategies may vary, and individuals should consult with their healthcare provider to understand the costs associated with each treatment.
This pricing difference can play a role in the difference of clientele between Botox and Jeuveau. Jeuveau may appeal to younger guests.
Formulation: While both Botox and Jeuveau contain botulinum toxin type A as the active ingredient, the formulation and proprietary purification processes may differ. These distinctions can impact the onset of action and duration of results. In some instances, Jeuveau produces a “softer” result.
Onset of Results: Some guests claim that Jeuveau may have a slightly faster onset of action compared to Botox, with results becoming noticeable within a shorter timeframe. This is ideal for those who wish to see faster results with a look similar to that provided by Botox.
Why Should I Pair Botox and Jeuveau?
Botox Cosmetic is FDA approved to treat more areas than Jeuveau. That being said, some prefer to use these two as a treatment duo due to variations in their results. For example, Botox is FDA approved to treat the chin, while Jeuveau is not.
Some guests have opted to treat more delicate areas such as crow’s feet with Jeuveau, and more severe age lines (11’s) with Botox Cosmetic. Jeuveau is often less expensive per unit than Botox, so some may opt to treat FDA approved areas with Jeuveau, and others with Botox.
Each person’s treatment plan should be a collaborative effort between the guest and their health care provider. Depending on your age, location, and desired treatment areas, pairing Botox and Jeuveau may be the solution to reaching your skin goals!
