Author: The Dermatology Specialists

comparing JEUVEAU, BOTOX, AND DYSPORT

In New York City, cosmetic injectables like Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau are incredibly popular for reducing wrinkles and rejuvenating the face without surgery. We asked our Elite Plus Injector and Lead Cosmetic Trainer at TDS to weigh in on why. 

“Over the past decade, neurotoxins have quickly become one of the most frequently requested cosmetic procedures in the industry due to minimal downtime and results (when done by a trained professional). Numerous areas on the face and neck can be treated, offering noticeable improvement in specific target areas, quickly. It’s important to establish a treatment plan with your injector and to thoroughly go over areas of concern so that your injector can set realistic expectations with you, and make sure they are working towards your goal.” –Cody Archibald, M.S., PA-C, The Dermatology Specialists

With so many options available, choosing the right treatment can be challenging. This article will help you understand the differences between these popular injectable treatments, aiding you in making an informed decision based on your unique needs and goals.

Understanding Jeuveau

What is Jeuveau? 

Jeuveau, often referred to as “Newtox,” is a newer neuromodulator made from botulinum toxin type A. It’s quickly becoming a favorite of dermatologists because it while it works similarly to Botox and Dysport by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, patients often see results more quickly. For more details, visit our page on “Jeuveau“.

Benefits of Jeuveau

  • Minimally invasive with no downtime
  • Quick treatment (15-30 minutes)
  • Effective for reducing the appearance of:
    • Frown lines (“11s” or deep Glabellar lines)
    • Forehead lines
    • Crow’s feet
  • May offer a quicker onset of results compared to Botox

Ideal Candidates for Jeuveau 

Jeuveau is suitable for adults who want to reduce dynamic wrinkles and are looking for an alternative to Botox and Dysport. It’s important to consult with a qualified dermatologist or injector to determine if Jeuveau is right for you.

Understanding Botox

What is Botox? 

Botox is an injectable treatment made from botulinum toxin type A that works by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive expressions. To learn more about how Botox works, check out our blog post “All You Need to Know About Botox“.

Benefits of Botox

  • Minimally invasive with no downtime
  • Quick treatment (15-30 minutes)
  • Reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as:
    • Forehead lines
    • Crow’s feet
    • Frown lines (Glabellar lines or the “11s”)
  • Can prevent new wrinkles from forming
  • May help with migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and muscle spasms. Read more about how Botox can treat hyperhidrosis in our blog post “Botox for Hand Hyperhidrosis“.

Ideal Candidates for Botox 

Botox is suitable for adults aged 18 to 65 who want to reduce dynamic wrinkles. It’s important to consult with a qualified dermatologist or injector to determine if Botox is right for you. Learn more in our blog post “Botox Treatment“.

Understanding Dysport

What is Dysport? 

Dysport is similar to Botox but contains abobotulinumtoxinA. It works by relaxing muscles to reduce wrinkles, especially in larger areas like the forehead.

Benefits of Dysport

  • Minimally invasive with no downtime
  • Quick treatment (15-30 minutes)
  • Works faster than Botox, with results visible in 2-4 days
  • Effective for treating:
    • Glabellar lines (frown lines)
    • Forehead wrinkles
    • Ideal for larger treatment areas due to its diffusion properties
  • Results may last slightly longer than Botox (up to 4 months). Learn more about Botox and Dysport in our blog post “Does Botox Lose Its Effectiveness Over Time?“.

Ideal Candidates for Dysport 

Dysport is ideal for people with moderate to severe glabellar lines and forehead wrinkles. It’s important to consider muscle strength and skin thickness when choosing Dysport.
