Jeuveau
Jeuveau is a brand name for prabotulinumtoxinA, a prescription injectable neuromodulator used for the temporary improvement of glabellar lines (frown lines) between the eyebrows. It is a form of botulinum toxin type A, which works by temporarily blocking the signals from nerves to the muscles, preventing muscle contraction and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Jeuveau is specifically designed for aesthetic use and has gained popularity for its effectiveness in smoothing facial lines.

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Jeuveau Work?
Jeuveau works by inhibiting the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. This inhibition prevents muscle contraction in the targeted area, leading to a temporary relaxation of the muscles responsible for causing frown lines. As a result, the skin appears smoother and less wrinkled.
Common Dosages
- Recommended dosage: 20 units administered as 5 injection sites (4 units each) between the eyebrows.
Typical Dosing
- For glabellar lines: Jeuveau is usually injected directly into the muscles that cause frown lines. The procedure takes about 10 to 20 minutes and may involve multiple injections.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults aged 18 years and older.
Who Shouldn't Take Jeuveau?
- Known hypersensitivity to prabotulinumtoxinA or any components of the formulation.
- Infection at the proposed injection site.
- Neuromuscular disorders, such as myasthenia gravis or Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS), which can exacerbate muscle weakness.
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Choose a qualified provider: Jeuveau should only be administered by a trained healthcare professional who is experienced in injectable treatments.
- Post-treatment care: After injections, avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent spreading the toxin to unintended areas.
- Inform your provider: Notify your healthcare provider about any medications, supplements, or medical conditions you have before treatment.
- Discuss expectations: Talk with your provider about what results to expect and how long they might last (typically 3 to 6 months).
