Jeuveau and Xeomin
Jeuveau and Xeomin temporarily relax the muscles that create frown lines, forehead creases, and crow's feet. Treatment usually takes 15 to 20 minutes. Results can begin within 3 to 7 days and commonly last 3 to 4 months.
Xeomin contains no additives beyond the active ingredient, which some patients prefer after using other neurotoxins. Jeuveau was developed specifically for aesthetic use and is a familiar option for first-time patients and people switching brands. Both products are FDA-approved.
The injections block signals from nerves to the treated muscles. As those muscles relax, the skin above them looks smoother. Your body gradually metabolizes the product, so most patients return every 3 to 4 months to maintain results.
Most patients describe a quick pinch. You can return to work or normal errands right away, although strenuous exercise and rubbing the treated areas should wait until the next day.
The goal is softer lines with natural movement, not a frozen expression.

Will wrinkle relaxers make me look frozen?
The goal is natural expression. Treatment is planned to soften lines while maintaining movement so you look refreshed, not overdone.

A typical session takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Results usually begin within 3 to 7 days and commonly last 3 to 4 months depending on the area and your metabolism.
Does treatment hurt, and is there downtime?
Most patients describe a few quick pinches. Ice or topical numbing can be used when needed. Temporary redness, swelling, or tiny bumps may occur, but there is no planned downtime.
Can I work out after Jeuveau or Xeomin?
Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy sweating, and rubbing the treated areas for the rest of the day. You can return to your regular routine after that.
