Jeuveau™ Houston, TX
A New Neurotoxin is Here!
Meet Jeuveau™ (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs)—aka the #NEWTOX! Jeuveau™ is a modern-made neurotoxin approved by the FDA to temporarily improve the appearance of frown lines.1 Jeuveau™ is the first and only product of its kind dedicated exclusively to aesthetics! As the fourth neurotoxin to hit the market (and the only new option in almost a decade), Jeuveau™ is made using a state-of-the-art manufacturing process called Hi-Pure™ technology. Jeuveau™ is the first product from Evolus, and part of its mission to bring a fresh experience and perspective to the aesthetics industry. It’s about time!
Suppose you have been seeking a solution for fine lines and wrinkles, particularly in the trouble spot between your eyebrows. In that case, Dr. Michael Streitmann offers treatments that can provide excellent results using simple, non-surgical techniques. One treatment option is the cosmetic injectable Jeuveau™. This product works to treat wrinkles and lines using a similar mechanism as other well-known injectables, with some notable differences. Before seeking more invasive or less effective options to smooth your wrinkles, schedule a consultation with Dr. Michael Streitmann to see if Jeuveau™ is a good option for your situation.
Some of the first areas to show visible signs during the aging process are the forehead and the glabellar area between the eyebrows. Several cosmetic injectable options are on the market, each with the ability to smooth the look of these wrinkles and restore a more youthful appearance. This class of injectables are called neuromodulators because they prevent the movement of the muscles that perpetuate the formation of these wrinkles. Jeuveau is one of the newest neuromodulators on the market and has been used by Dr. Michael Streitmann with great success.
Injectable neuromodulators all use the same mechanism to smooth fine lines and wrinkles that are caused by repetitive facial movements. Muscle movements crease the same areas of skin repeatedly, and with age, these areas become less elastic and remain creased even when the muscle is not actively moving. Neuromodulators correct this problem by temporarily freezing the movement of specifically targeted muscles. With just a few injections, the nerves that service the muscles are blocked and no longer tell the muscles to flex. Without repetitive movement, the skin affected by the facial muscle motions has time to smooth out the creases. With repeat Jeuveau injections, new lines are not given an opportunity to form.
One of the most frequently asked questions concerns the use of Jeuveau vs. Botox or other popular injectables. Like Botox, Jeuveau is derived from botulinum toxin type A but is created with a purified form. The treatment mechanism is similar, but Jeuveau is newer technology and is intended for specific targeted areas. Some individuals build up an immunity to Botox, and Jeuveau can be used as a substitute for those cases. There is also evidence that Jeuveau treatment sessions are longer-lasting than other products, with results lasting up to six months. Dr. Michael Streitmann can help you determine which type of injectable is best suited for your goals.
Jeuveau is one of the newest neuromodulators on the market, leading to several advantages over traditional cosmetic injectables. The product was designed with cosmetic use in mind and uses the most modern purification and manufacturing technologies. This means you know you are getting the most advanced treatment on the market. Since Jeuveau was designed specifically for aesthetic purposes, it can provide excellent results with the right candidate.
If you have tried other cosmetic injectables in the past and are not allergic to any of the ingredients in Jeuveau, you could be a good candidate for this treatment. Candidates must also be at least 18 years old and generally in good overall health. If you have any concerns about Jeuveau, Dr. Michael Streitmann can help you determine if this product is right for you or if you should try a different treatment that is more suitable for your situation.
As a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment option, you will be pleased with the minimal downtime required after a Jeuveau session. You can immediately return to work, and most of your normal activities after your session is complete. There are a few minor restrictions after your injections to consider. Avoid touching the treatment areas after your injections, and do not lie down for at least four hours so the product will stay in place correctly. Strenuous exercise is also discouraged for a minimum of 24 hours after a session. Mild redness or swelling can occur. Results can start to become evident within a few days, with full results between seven and ten days.
Houston area clients trust Dr. Michael Streitmann due to his experience and advanced skills in both Otolaryngology and Plastic Surgery. With knowledge in both reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery, he is uniquely qualified to provide the best results in any of the techniques he performs.
