Both Jeuveau® and Botox® are popular injectable treatments designed to address dynamic facial wrinkles that develop from repeated facial expressions. These neuromodulators share similar mechanisms of action and can deliver impressive anti-aging results. However, there are some important differences between the two that may influence which treatment is best suited to your specific aesthetic goals.

What is Botox®?
Botox® is an FDA-approved neuromodulator that temporarily blocks nerve signals to targeted facial muscles, reducing their ability to contract and form wrinkles on the skin above them. When injected by skilled providers, Botox® can smooth existing lines while preventing new wrinkles from forming.
This injectable treatment has been extensively studied and proven effective for both aesthetic and medical applications, such as:
- Forehead lines and frown lines
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Brow wrinkling/sagging
- Lip lines and lip flip
- Chin dimpling
- Neck bands (platysma)
- Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
- TMJ (masseter)
- Headaches/migraines
How is Jeuveau® Different?
Jeuveau®, often called “Newtox,” represents a more recent addition to the neuromodulator family, though it works through the same basic mechanism as Botox®. While Botox® offers versatility by treating numerous areas of the face and various medical conditions, Jeuveau® is highly effective when it comes to treating moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, also known as glabellar lines or “elevens.”
This focused approach allows Jeuveau® to excel in its primary application area. Many patients find that Jeuveau® provides exceptionally natural-looking results for frown line treatment, with effects typically lasting three to four months, though some patients experience benefits for up to six months.
Which One is Right For Me?
The choice between Jeuveau® and Botox® depends mainly on your unique concerns and treatment goals. If you’re primarily bothered by frown lines between your eyebrows and want a targeted solution, Jeuveau® may be the ideal choice. This is especially true for patients in their early to mid-30s looking for a quick and simple preventative treatment before deep lines set in.
However, if you have multiple areas of concern and want the flexibility to address various facial regions during the same appointment, Botox® may be your best bet. Patients seeking treatment for medical conditions like excessive sweating, TMJ, or chronic headaches will need to choose Botox®, as Jeuveau® is only approved for cosmetic frown line treatment.
