Jeuveau Vs Botox: Is There Any Difference? 

Jeuveau vs Botox

On a yearly basis, one of the top non-invasive cosmetic treatments that people opt for is Botox injections – while it is the most popular neurotoxin that is used to fight against wrinkles and frown lines, there are a few other brands too that ensure to provide similar results.

Among the injectables that compete against Botox, there’s one injectable called Jeuveau that has successfully found its customer base. Being an FDA-approved neuromodulator, Jeuveau was devised to fight off wrinkles.

Jeuveau VS Botox

For some people, Botox might become less effective after being used several times, in such cases, people have the option to switch to a very similar injectable i.e. Jeuveau. However, if Botox is working perfectly fine for your cosmetic needs, there is no point in experimenting and moving away from something that fulfills your needs.

What Is Botox?

Botulinum toxin, popularly known as Botox is a chemical that is made using a bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. This toxin has the capability of causing a rare and harmful infection called botulism – however, when administered appropriately in microdoses, it can be used for cosmetic as well as medical concerns, by targeting specific areas of the body.

Not many people know but there are two versions of Botox available in the market – The first one is the popularly known Botox Cosmetic, which was FDA-approved in 2002 with the main purpose being to serve as an anti-ageing agent against wrinkles. The second version is the medical Botox which was introduced and approved much before and is capable of treating a range of health issues such as migraines, overactive bladder, and even excessive sweating.

 What Is Jeuveau?

Jeuveau, also known as “Newtox” is an increasingly popular cosmetic injectable that is also made using botulinum toxin. After being FDA-approved in 2019, it was introduced to the world as a very effective, relatively new cosmetic injectable enabling you to remove frown lines and wrinkles.

Differences Between Botox and Jeuveau 

Newtox and Botox have been popularly compared for the similarities that they possess – However, there are a couple of aspects that make them different from each other. The major differences that they have come from the types of wrinkles they treat and how they’re made:

  • Side Effects

Botox and Jeuveau, both injections are mostly well-tolerated by the users because they were administered appropriately. However, there have been several people who have experienced a couple of side effects from getting either of the injectables, but where you get these injectables administered also plays it part in having side effects.

  • Eyelid drooping
  • Brow drooping

Both their full results have been reported to last for 3-4 months, varying for different individuals. While both are very effective and safe procedures, neither should be used frequently, the recommended frequency is getting them injected once in 3 months.

  • Longevity of Results 

On average, the results from both Jeuveau and Botox last between 3 to 4 months. The longevity can vary based on factors like the patient’s metabolism and the amount of product used.

  • Uses

Jeuveau as well as Botox, both of these injectables can be used for people who’re above the age of 18 – However, Botox has the capability and possesses the approval to treat several cosmetic conditions, while Jeuveau has limitations.

While Botox has the approval to be used against frown lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet lines, and even forehead lines – Jeuveau on the other hand, can only be opted for the removal of frown lines between the eyebrows.

As mentioned earlier, Jeuveau’s use is limited to cosmetic treatments only, and that too just the frown lines; but Botox, along with having the approval for cosmetic treatment, can also be utilized to treat a range of medical conditions such as chronic migraines, overactive bladder, and excessive sweating.

Jeuveau VS Botox VS Xeomin 

Xeomin is another neuromodulator that is often compared to Jeuveau and Botox. The main difference is that Xeomin is free from complex proteins, which can be beneficial for some patients. Otherwise, the results and longevity are quite similar to Jeuveau and Botox.

Jeuveau VS Botox VS Dysport

Dysport is another alternative that works similarly to Botox and Jeuveau. It has a slightly different formulation and may spread more easily, which can be beneficial for treating larger areas. The onset of results can be faster with Dysport, but the longevity is comparable to the other two treatments.
