Jeuveau injectable, recently approved by the FDA for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, is the newest neurotoxin injectable available to the aesthetic and dermatology industries. Jeuveau is comparable to Dysport, as it is used to minimize the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles on the forehead, brows, and around the eyes. Jeuveau is highly effective in the treatment of the common cosmetic signs of aging, allowing San Diego and San Diego, CA area patients to attain a more youthful, radiant appearance without surgery. Board-certified cosmetic and facial plastic surgeon Dr. Robert A. Shumway is proud to offer this exciting, cutting-edge treatment to patients of Shumway Plastic Surgery. Call us today to schedule your injectable consultation. In many cases, we can perform your treatment on the very same day!

Jeuveau is a great solution for men and women that want to attain a smoother, more youthful look by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on their face. Muscle relaxants are also used to prevent wrinkles in patients who have not yet experienced them. If you have deep lines and wrinkles, you may be better suited for an injectable filler. Dr. Shumway can help you decide if you are an ideal candidate for Jeuveau during your consultation. 

Before administering your treatment, Dr. Shumway will have you make a series of facial expressions to determine the amount and placement of your Jeuveau injections. Next, he will explain the process in detail so that you understand what to expect. Finally, Dr. Shumway will inject Jeuveau carefully and precisely into the predetermined treatment areas. The process typically takes less than 15 minutes to complete and is very tolerable to most patients. 

After your treatment is complete, Dr. Shumway or a member of our team will explain how best to care for your skin while your injection sites heal. You may notice a bit of redness around the treatment areas, but this will subside in the coming days as your results are amplified. Generally speaking, your results will be fully revealed in around seven days following the procedure. We recommend quarterly follow-up sessions to keep your skin looking radiant and youthful. 

Is Jeuveau safe?
Jeuveau underwent many clinical trials and was found to be safe and effective prior to its approval by the FDA in February of 2019. Very few risks are associated with the product, and it is well tolerated by most patients. However, only a medical professional, like Dr. Shumway, can determine whether the product is safe for you. 

Jeuveau or Dysport?

With so many wrinkle relaxers available, “which product is right for me?” is a very commonly asked question. There are many factors that may lead Dr. Shumway toward one product or another. Considerations, such as the depth of your wrinkles and their location, are sometimes determining factors when multiple options are available. During a private consultation with Dr. Shumway, your treatment options and aesthetic goals will both be discussed so that a customized treatment plan can be created for you.

If you are tired of worrying about facial wrinkles and avoid certain facial expressions for fear of frown or laugh lines, we invite you to schedule a consultation at Shumway Cosmetic Surgery. At our San Diego area, CA facility, Dr. Shumway can help create a customized treatment plan that will turn back the hands of time on your wrinkles. Contact us today to schedule your visit.
