Why Botox® and Jeuveau™ are the Most Popular Injections

Botox in Glastonbury, CTBotox® has long reigned as the king of injectables, but with Jeuveau™ fresh on the scene, it’s now sharing the immense popularity of Botox® injections. These treatments offer similar formulas, similar prices and similar results – so you may need to discuss them with your provider before choosing one over the other. And if you’re not currently considering one of these treatments, let’s take a look at why these treatments are so popular and why you might want to reconsider.

Preventive & Restorative

Botox® and Jeuveau™ are approved for the treatment of frown lines and crow’s feet, with Botox® being approved for a few additional uses. They stand out among the crowd of injectable treatments because they do something that no other injectable can do – prevent signs of aging. These formulas target nerves in the face, blocking nerve signals that cause your facial muscles to contract and form wrinkles. The immediate benefit is that your face is more relaxed and wrinkle-free. But, by decreasing facial muscular activity, they can also prevent wrinkles from worsening, and even forming in the first place.

Quick, Comfortable and Easy

Botox® and Jeuveau™ have the benefits that most injectables offer: they can be administered within minutes, they have minimal side effects and they produce results quickly. This checks a lot of boxes when it comes to the convenience and satisfaction from treatment. Patients love that they can pop in for a quick treatment session, then return to work the next day and achieve results within a week or two. This also makes it incredibly convenient to maintain your results with repeated treatments. Botox® and Jeuveau™ didn’t become this popular by accident!

Almost Anyone Can Benefit

Botox® and Jeuveau™ are versatile treatments that have a proven history of being safe and effective. Most patients are a great fit for these treatments, making them a cornerstone in any anti-aging protocol. If you would like to learn more about these or other injectables, contact us today at Harold E. Beam, MD Plastic Surgery. We’ll help you schedule your initial consultation and get started with these treatments today!

Botox® vs. #NEWTOX

Jeuveau™ in Glastonbury, CTBotox® is the standard when it comes to wrinkle treatment. But, we all secretly have the same question in our minds: Is there anything else better than Botox®? Some say #NEWTOX is a strong contender. #NEWTOX, also known as Jeuveau™ is the newest product in the line of wrinkle blockers on the market. But, is it better than Botox®?

What is Botox®?

Botox® has become a household name for being a widely used wrinkle blocker among celebrities. The injectable treatment is composed of a clear gel made with the active ingredient, botulinum toxin. When injected into the muscles of the treated area, the botulinum toxin temporarily freezes the muscle causing the wrinkles in the skin to relax and improve in appearance. Botox® is most used to treat frown lines and deep wrinkles across the forehead and between the brows.

What is #NEWTOX?

Jeuveau™, known popularly around social media and online as #NEWTOX, is the latest and so-called greatest in wrinkle blocking injectable treatments. Similarly to Botox®, Jeuveau™ is also a clear gel made with the same active ingredient, botulinum toxin. Because the active ingredient in both products is the same, the effects of Jeuveau™ are very similar to Botox® as well. When injected into the treated area, Jeuveau™ temporarily freezes the muscle, relaxes wrinkles and prevents further wrinkles from appearing. Like Botox®, Jeuveau™ can be used to treat frown lines across the forehead and between the brows.

Does Jeuveau™ Last Longer than Botox®?

In short, no. Remember, both Botox® and #NEWTOX are made from the same active ingredient. Because they are both made using botulinum toxin, their results take effect and last for similar lengths of time. Whether you are treated with Botox® or Jeuveau™, it’s likely you will have to wait 24-48 hours to see results from your treatment. The effects of both Botox® and Jeuveau™ last for about four to six months at a time. We recommend following up with us every four months to maintain your results.

Is Jeuveau™ Better than Botox?

Realistically, the answer to this question is all up to preference. The biggest differences between Botox® and Jeuveau™ are how they are formulated and how they are manufactured in their facilities. Both products use the same active ingredient and perform in a similar fashion. We recommend giving #NEWTOX a try if you had a bad experience with Botox® in the past or are looking to try a new wrinkle blocker. If you’re still unsure which injectable is right for you, ask Dr. Beam or his nurse practitioners in your one-on-one consultation. They will weigh out each pro and con, and make sure you make the best decision for your skin.

If you’re interested in learning more about Botox® or Jeuveau™, call us today to schedule your consultation with Dr. Beam or one of his nurse practitioners.

Jeuveau™ Has Arrived in Glastonbury, CT

Jeuveau™ in Glastonbury, CT

Jeuveau™ in Glastonbury, CTBotox® has long been the reigning champion in the world of wrinkle reduction, until now. There’s a new solution on the scene, approved by the FDA and available in our Hartford area offices.

Jeuveau™ is an injectable neurotoxin that works to fight gravity and aging in the face. It slows down the process of wrinkle formation and often is able to correct lines that have already formed. One of the main differences between Jeuveau™ and Botox® is that Jeuveau™ has a more affordable price point, which may appeal to some patients.

How Jeuveau™ Works

Jeuveau™ can be injected between the eyebrows or in the corners of the eyes. It is meant to freeze the natural, repetitive muscle contractions that cause the formation of deep wrinkles on the face and around the eyes. Jeuveau™ prevents your nerves from telling your facial muscles to flex, which stops the creation of creases in common places like frown lines between the brows or crow’s feet by the side of the eyes.

What is Jeuveau™ Recovery Like?

Much like with Botox® and other injectables, the recovery time needed after a Jeuveau™ treatment is nearly nonexistent. The procedure can be easily completed during a quick, lunchtime appointment and patients should be able to return to their lives directly afterward.  Some slight redness, swelling, and pain may be present around the injection site, but it should subside quickly.

What Results Will I See With Jeuveau™?

Like with Botox®, the results of a Jeuveau™ treatment are temporary, lasting anywhere from 3-6 months. It is common for patients to return for treatment two or three times per year. Patients can expect a reduction of lines and wrinkles and an overall smoother, more youthful appearance.

Since every patient is different, be sure to discuss with Dr. Beam whether Jeuveau™ or Botox® better serves your needs.

To find out which procedure is right for you, contact us for more information or to schedule a consultation. Dr. Beam serves the Glastonbury and Hartford, Connecticut areas.
