The latest injectable wrinkle relaxer with approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Jeuveau fights early signs of aging. Using a purified form of botulinum toxin, like BOTOX and Dysport, Jeuveau relaxes strained muscles to improve wrinkles, like the frown lines in the middle of your eyebrows (also known as glabellar lines). Jeuveau is a highly effective cosmetic injection that allows patients of Commonwealth Facial Plastic Surgery to get a more radiant, youthful look without surgery. Facial plastic surgeon Dr. Matthew Bridges is proud to offer this exciting treatment to women and men in Richmond, VA. If time permits, your first Jeuveau treatment can be performed following your consultation.

To accurately determine your injection sites, Dr. Bridges or an experienced member of his team will have you make different facial expressions. Jeuveau is a quick treatment that causes minimal discomfort; however, you can ask for local anesthesia if it would make you feel more comfortable. After your face is prepped, your injections will be placed precisely into the selected areas of your face.

After your treatment is complete, your injector will discuss how to care for your face as the Jeuveau begins to work. You may notice a little swelling and redness around the injection sites, but this should subside naturally as your improvements become visible. Usually, it will take around a week before your results are visible. Dr. Bridges suggests quarterly follow-up sessions to continue your improvements.

Who is a good candidate for Jeuveau?
Treatments with Jeuveau are a wonderful solution for women and men who want a smoother, more youthful look by reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles on their face. Jeuveau can help you with moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles, especially the glabellar lines that appear between your eyebrows. If you also have static lines and wrinkles, your treatment plan may combine Jeuveau with a wrinkle filler. Dr. Bridges or a trained member of his team will decide if you are an ideal candidate in your initial consultation before creating your custom Jeuveau treatment program.

How many treatments will I need?
Like BOTOX and Dysport, Jeuveau should be used quarterly to maintain your results. The number of injections you will receive at each session will be determined after speaking candidly about your aesthetic goals. Dr. Bridges will create a customized treatment plan that includes the units recommended and how frequently he believes you will need touch-up sessions. 

Is Jeuveau safe?
Jeuveau underwent many clinical trials and has proven as effective and safe as BOTOX and Dysport. When injected by a professional, Jeuveau provides beautiful and lasting results, helping patients to reach their aesthetic goals and appear more youthful without surgery.
