Wrinkles are normal and result from the breaking down of elastin and collagen. Many people try all manner of treatments to reverse them. However, different factors determine whether this is possible. These factors will also determine how effective treatments are on your skin.
 

Botox Injections

Although many refer to it as Botox injections, the main ingredient is the botulinum type A toxin. Botox is a version of it. However, there are others like Jeuveau®, which is a new version of the same injectable ingredient. Hence the nickname or what others are referring to as Newtox.

The toxin travels into the muscles and nerves. It blocks their impulses. As a result, the muscles do not contract around the nerve. It also partially smooths out wrinkles and prevents them from carving deeper into your skin and becoming more permanent.
 

What is Jeuveau?

Jeuveau has similarities to Botox. However, it is a better fit for people with specific facial wrinkles than Botox. Hence, there are several considerations to make before settling for it. The doctor may also decide to use it to treat other locations on your body.

The FDA approval is for the two frown lines that often curve themselves into your brow. Their medical name is the glabellar lines, and their removal can be stubborn. So, if Jeuveau can deal with them, it is also effective in working on other wrinkles. It smooths out wrinkles and fine lines on other facial parts.
 

How Does it Work?

Like any treatment, the process starts with a consultation where the service provider will get your medical history. After that, they will outline the treatment plan they will implement during your session.

They will wipe off any products or makeup on your face. Afterward, they will inject Jeuveau into five sights around your glabellar lines using small injections. The process takes about 15 minutes, and there is no downtime after the procedure. You can get back to your daily activities as soon as you desire.
 

Results

In some cases, you may start noticing the results immediately. However, the results are temporary. Thus, you need maintenance treatments to keep up your appearance. In most cases, the results will take effect within three to five days.

The full results will be visible within a week or two weeks. You will need to have maintenance treatments every three to four months. However, this will depend on several factors that affect you as an individual and the treatment area.
