Preview what's possible (illustrative only) →Neurotoxin treatment at Vue begins with a personalized consultation. Our injectables program is led by Dr. Randal Swenson, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with injections performed by Megan Hammond, RN, and Laura Eccles, PA-C. Our goal is a natural-looking result that preserves the expressions that make you, you. Individual results vary and cannot be guaranteed.
Botox® Cosmetic and Jeuveau® are prescription medicines made from botulinum toxin type A. They are injected into small muscles of the face and temporarily reduce the activity of those muscles, which softens the lines that form when you frown, squint or raise your brows. The effect is temporary and wears off gradually on its own.
Botox Cosmetic is FDA-approved to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows (glabellar lines), crow’s feet (lateral canthal lines), forehead lines, and vertical neck bands (platysma bands) in adults. Jeuveau is FDA-approved to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in adults.
We also offer neurotoxin treatments for the lip area, jaw muscle (masseter), and gummy smile. These uses are considered “off-label,” meaning they are not FDA-approved. Botox’s prescribing information states that serious adverse reactions have been reported with unapproved uses and that safety and effectiveness for these uses have not been established. During your consultation, we’ll discuss whether an off-label treatment is appropriate for you and review its potential risks.
Botox Cosmetic and Jeuveau are both botulinum toxin type A products, but they are separate medicines with their own approvals, and their units are not interchangeable. Botox Cosmetic is approved for the four areas above; Jeuveau is approved for frown lines between the brows. We recommend a product based on the area being treated, your health history and your preference.
Your visit takes about 30 minutes, with the injections themselves taking just a few minutes. Most people return to their usual activities right away. Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or headache may occur.
The timing of results varies. According to the Botox Cosmetic prescribing information, its effect on the injected muscles typically begins within one to two days and builds over the first week. Clinical studies for both Botox Cosmetic and Jeuveau assessed results at 30 days.
Results are temporary. Both product labels advise against retreatment more often than every three months. Most patients return every three to four months to maintain their results.
Neurotoxin treatment is priced per unit, and the number of units varies by treatment area and individual anatomy, which is why we quote it at your visit rather than on a menu. Your provider will confirm the plan and give you an exact estimate before anything is placed. Member pricing is available. Plan for about 30 minutes, with maintenance about every three to four months.
Most people describe a quick pinch. The needles are very fine and the injections take only a few minutes. Most people return to normal activities right away, though redness, swelling or bruising can happen.
It varies. For Botox Cosmetic, the prescribing information says its effect on the injected muscles typically begins one to two days after injection and builds over the first week. Clinical studies for both Botox Cosmetic and Jeuveau measured results at 30 days. Your provider will tell you what to expect for your treatment area.
Results are temporary and wear off gradually. The Botox Cosmetic prescribing information describes about three to four months for frown lines, and both medicines advise against retreatment more often than every three months. How long it lasts for you depends on the area treated, the dose and your own body.
The goal is a natural-looking result in which your expressions still look like yours. How much movement remains depends on the dose, the areas treated and your anatomy, and a particular outcome cannot be guaranteed. Your provider plans the treatment with you at your consultation and places it conservatively.
Botox Cosmetic and Jeuveau are FDA-approved prescription medicines, and like all medicines they carry risks. Both carry a boxed warning for distant spread of toxin effect, which can cause swallowing and breathing difficulties that can be life threatening. Common side effects include headache, eyelid or brow drooping, and injection-site pain, swelling or bruising. We review your health history before treatment.
They are separate medicines with their own approvals: Botox Cosmetic is approved for frown lines, crow's feet, forehead lines and platysma bands; Jeuveau is approved for frown lines between the brows. We recommend a product based on the area being treated, your health history and your preference.
