Welcome 

 

Jeuveau and Botox are injectables that smooth out wrinkles and fine lines on the face. When injected into specific facial muscles, the active ingredient blocks nerve signals to muscles, causing them to relax and smooth out wrinkles.

​

Both Jeuveau and Botox give temporary results, with effects lasting between three to six months. However, some people may experience longer-lasting results with Jeuveau.

​

Jeuveau and Botox contain slightly different active ingredients, yet both belong to the same class of medicines called neurotoxins. More specifically, they contain a type of Botulinum neurotoxin (BNT).

​

Botulinum neurotoxin injections are used for both medical and cosmetic purposes. Depending on the requirements, the doses and muscles injected may differ.

BNT is a biological product developed using a bacteria called Clostridiumbotulinum (C. botulinum). It is injected into muscles, relaxing them and reducing excessive muscle contractions.

​

Furthermore, Jeuveau and Botox are made from botulinum toxin type A, but the manufacturing processes and purification techniques to develop the final product are slightly different

​
