Jeuveau
Jeuveau is considered the newest neuromodulator made from botulinum toxin type A. It is specifically approved for cosmetic use and has coined the phrase #newtox. In 2019, it became FDA approved, the last injectable to do so in over ten years. Jeuveau's ‘Hi-Pure’ technology works by efficiently interrupting the communication between the nerve ending and its targeted muscle. Patients may see results in as little as 2-3 days.

What is a neuromodulator?
A neuromodulator is any chemical or compound that affects signaling between neurons or nerve cells. In the skin, this leads to muscle relaxation. The most popular neuromodulator on the market is Botulinum toxin type A, the most popular of which is Botox. Jeuveau and Botox are FDA-approved neuromodulators made from botulinum toxin type A. Jeuveau and Botox are useful in correcting and enhancing facial lines and wrinkles. Among other cosmetic injectables, these two have proven track records of efficacy.
