Botox vs. Jeuveau: Which Wrinkle Relaxer Is Right for You?

When it comes to smoothing fine lines and maintaining a youthful appearance, wrinkle relaxers are one of the most trusted non-surgical treatments available. At Couture Dermatology & Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas, our board-certified dermatologists offer both Botox and Jeuveau to help patients soften expression lines and refresh their look. But how do you choose between the two?

What Are Wrinkle Relaxers?

Wrinkle relaxers are injectable treatments that target dynamic wrinkles, those caused by repeated muscle movements like smiling, frowning, and squinting. These treatments work by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles, which smooths out the skin above and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and creases.

Two of the most popular options are Botox and Jeuveau, both available at Couture Medical in Las Vegas.

Botox vs. Jeuveau: Key Differences

While Botox and Jeuveau are both derived from botulinum toxin type A and function similarly, there are a few differences worth noting:

• Botox has been a household name for over two decades and is FDA-approved for both cosmetic and medical uses (such as treating migraines and excessive sweating).
  
• Jeuveau is a newer option, FDA-approved specifically for cosmetic use. It’s sometimes called “Newtox” and is formulated using Hi-Pure technology, which may allow for faster onset and slightly longer-lasting results for some patients.

Ultimately, both are effective, safe, and deliver natural-looking results when administered by an experienced provider like Dr. Candace Spann.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Both Botox and Jeuveau are suitable for adults who want to reduce the appearance of fine lines and dynamic wrinkles, especially in the upper face. You may be a good candidate if:

• You’re noticing forehead lines, crow’s feet, or vertical lines between your brows.
  
• You’re in generally good health and not pregnant or breastfeeding.
  
• You want a non-surgical, low-downtime option for facial rejuvenation.

During your consultation at Couture Dermatology, our team will help determine which product aligns best with your facial anatomy, goals, and lifestyle.

What Kind of Results Can You Expect?

Both Botox and Jeuveau typically take a few days to start working, with full results appearing within 7 to 10 days. Patients can expect:

• Smoother skin and a more relaxed expression
  
• Reduced appearance of lines in treated areas
  
• A refreshed, well-rested look that still feels like you
  

Jeuveau may offer a slightly faster onset for some patients, though individual results vary.

How Often Should You Get Treated?

The effects of both treatments typically last between 3 to 4 months. To maintain results, we recommend scheduling regular touch-ups. Some patients notice Jeuveau lasts a bit longer for them, while others stick with Botox for consistency. During your appointment, your provider will discuss a timeline that fits your needs and goals.
