Jeuveau is an FDA approved neurotoxin used for the treatment of glabellar lines or the frown lines that appear between your eyebrows. It works by preventing nerves from telling the facial muscles to flex. Jeuveau is made with a modern manufacturing process using Hi-Pure technology.
The FDA approval was based on two major clinical trials. After 30 days, 67.5% of subjects in one study, and 70.4% of patients in a second study met the primary endpoint, a 2-point composite improvement agreed upon by physician and patient. This was compared to 1.2% and 1.4% of patients who received the placebo.
The most commonly reported side effects from the clinical trials included headache, eyelid drooping, upper respiratory tract infection, and increased white blood cell count. There were no serious drug-related adverse events reported in the studies. As with any injection, a patient may still experience pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, erythema, and/or bleeding/bruising around the injection site. The results of Jeuveau are temporary and patients reported receiving 3 treatments over the course of 1 year.
