Jeuveau, commonly known as "Newtox," is a botulinum toxin type A injection used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, especially frown lines (glabellar lines). Since its FDA approval in 2019, Jeuveau has quickly become a popular choice for individuals seeking a cost-effective alternative to Botox. While both products share similarities, Jeuveau’s unique formulation makes it a better fit for certain facial wrinkles. Here's what you need to know about Jeuveau, including comparisons with Botox, preparation, treatment areas, the procedure, risks, aftercare, and cost.
What is Jeuveau (Newtox)?
Jeuveau is a botulinum toxin type A injection designed to smooth out wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause lines. It's often referred to as "Newtox" due to its status as a newer version of Botox. While it shares the same active ingredient as Botox, Jeuveau stands out because it’s specifically approved for treating glabellar lines, which are the wrinkles between your eyebrows. Some people find that Jeuveau is a more affordable option than Botox for treating similar facial areas.
FDA ApprovalJeuveau was approved by the FDA in February 2019 for the treatment of glabellar lines. Although it can be used to treat other areas, this would be considered off-label, meaning it's not specifically FDA-approved for those areas. |

Jeuveau vs. Botox: What's the Difference?
Jeuveau and Botox both contain botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin that relaxes the muscles under the skin, reducing wrinkles. However, Jeuveau is specifically marketed for treating frown lines, while Botox is FDA-approved for a broader range of facial areas, such as crow’s feet and forehead lines. Additionally, Jeuveau may be a more affordable option for those looking to start with cosmetic injections.

Preparation for Jeuveau
Before receiving Jeuveau injections, you’ll have a consultation with your provider to determine the number of injections and the areas to be treated. During this appointment, you can discuss the risks and benefits, as well as get an estimate of the cost. There is no specific preparation required, but it might be helpful to take the day off from work to ensure you’re not rushed.
Treatment Areas for Jeuveau
Jeuveau is most commonly used for treating glabellar lines, which are the vertical frown lines between your eyebrows. Some providers may use Jeuveau off-label to treat other facial wrinkles, such as crow’s feet or forehead lines. However, for wrinkles around the eyes or mouth, other options, like Botox or fillers, may be more suitable.

Risks and Side Effects
While Jeuveau is generally safe, it’s important to be aware of the potential side effects:
- Bruising
- Redness
- Pain at the injection site
- Headaches
Aftercare
After your Jeuveau treatment, it’s important to avoid rubbing or touching the injection site to prevent the toxin from spreading. You can resume your normal activities, but it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours. Results typically last several months, and you can schedule follow-up treatments as needed, with a recommended waiting period of three months between sessions.
Summary
Jeuveau, or “Newtox,” is a newer alternative to Botox for the treatment of wrinkles, especially frown lines. It offers similar benefits with a slightly lower cost. Preparation and aftercare are simple, and side effects are generally mild. If you’re new to botulinum toxin injections and looking for an effective wrinkle treatment, Jeuveau may be an excellent option to consider.
