Jeuveau Sherman Oaks

Jeuveau is a neuromodulator that relaxes the muscles in areas of injection, such as the glabellar area and removes the associated lines, such as glabellar frown lines. You will look younger and rejuvenated.

Before the treatment, you should tell the doctor the medications you have been taking as well as any allergies that you have. After that, you will explore your desires and the specialist will help you set feasible expectations.

Anyone with an allergy to neuromodulators such as Botox should not get Jeuveau. It is also contraindicated in those with muscle disorders such as myasthenia gravis. While not specifically contraindicated, we discourage the use of botox during pregnancy and breastfeeding as safety studies have not been conducted in these groups.

Yes.  Jeuveau is a competitor to Botox and can be used to perform all of the same procedures as Botox including lip flip.

Jeuveau is a competitor neurotoxin to Botox. Just as with SSRI anti-depressants where each person may respond better to one vs another, some find Jeuveau to be more effective than Botox while others find Botox to be stronger. The key is to have the same provider inject the same number of units using one product at one visit; and then the other product at the next visit. This way, only the product is the variable entity, reflecting more accurately the differences in strength, longevity, and type of results from Botox vs Jeuveau.

Yes, Jeuveau can be used off-label under the eyes. However, it is used to reduce squinting and hence, the lines that can form from that type of animation.  Jeauveau is not the right product for filling the tear trough or the under-eye hollows. For fullness in the under-eye area, we recommend a filler that has a low level of water absorption.

Botox and Jeuveau units are measured and injected the same way. So if we inject 20 units of Botox and want to switch a patient over to Jeuveau on their next visit, we will inject 20 units of Jeuveau. In other words, it’s a 1 to 1 ratio.

Jeuveau starts to kick in at about 3 days after injection but will reach complete results at about 14 days. The kicking-in process is very similar to Botox for most patients. However, some have expressed to us that one kicks in faster for them compared to the other. The feedback from our patients has been 50/50 about which brand kicks in more quickly.

Yes, while it’s not FDA-approved for the crow’s feet area, Jeuveau can be used off-label on crow’s feet with great results.

Generally, insurance does not cover aesthetic procedures. In addition, Jeuveau does not have any FDA approval for the treatment of medical conditions, which is usually required for insurance coverage.

We have many celebrities at our office and I can tell you that while they may not be upfront about it, they do use Botox. The key is the technique so that it does not create unnatural movements.  Instead of overdoing, one thing, they use a little bit of everything to target pigmentation, texture, wrinkles, symmetry, lifting, volume deficiencies, elasticity, tightening, Hair loss, thinning of the skin with different modalities. It’s an intimate relationship that depends on trust, patience, and effort on the patient’s part in coming and going rather than quick fixes. The common modalities used are lasers, fillers, threads, radiofrequency devices, Bioregenerayive procedures, topicals, facials, and medical grade peels.

Yes. When injected by experienced providers, there are four techniques that can be implemented to lift eyebrows using Jeuveau. One can choose the shape and amount of brow lift by modifying the number of units injected and the number of techniques used.

Yes, if you wish, you can switch from Jeuveau to Botox, using the same number of units. We usually recommend waiting for the effects of Jeuveau to completely dissipate before switching to Botox so that you can compare the effectiveness of results more accurately.

Jeuveau has been FDA-approved for safety and hence, does not have “cons”. However, as with any other medication, it has side effects and contraindications. The contraindications include allergies to the product and its ingredients and any muscle disorders such as Guillen barre. It’s also a good idea not to receive jeuveau injections when pregnant or breastfeeding as Jeuceau has not been studied in these groups.

Jeuveau costs between $12-$15 per unit. However, the company usually has instant rebates that can reduce your total by about $40 (this may vary). Our office provides competitive pricing and monthly specials that usually include Jeuveau. Please call us for more info or subscribe to our email to be in the know!

Jeuveau and Dysport are both FDA-approved neuromodulators that have shown 3-4 months longevity in FDA-approved clinical trials. Clinically, we have found that some people respond better with one, and less with the other. But the response is equally divided as to which product works better. So while for one person Dysport might be more effective, for others Jeuveau may be stronger. The only way to know what is right for you is to try each out without changing other dynamics such as staying with the same provider and with the equivalent dose.

When used at recommended dosage, clinical studies have shown that Jeuveau can last about 3 to 4 months. However, depending on your metabolism and ability to break down the product, you may be prone to shorter duration, or even longer.
