What Is Jeuveau?
Jeuveau (pronounced “JOO-voe”) is a purified neuromodulator made by Evolus. It belongs to the same family as Botox and Dysport, but it is the first one built from the start purely for aesthetics. You will sometimes hear it called “Newtox” for that reason.
The FDA approved Jeuveau in 2019 for moderate to severe frown lines, the vertical “11s” between the eyebrows. Since then it has become a popular choice for people who want a smooth, rested look that still moves when they laugh or talk.

How Jeuveau Softens Frown Lines
Every time you frown or concentrate, two small muscles between the brows pull the skin together. Over years that repeated pull leaves a crease. Jeuveau quietly interrupts the nerve message that tells those muscles to tighten. The muscles rest, the skin smooths, and the crease becomes far less visible.
What the studies found
Jeuveau has been tested in five clinical trials with more than 2,100 people. In two US studies, about 7 in 10 patients had none or only mild frown lines at day 30. A separate study in Europe and Canada found that around half of patients saw some improvement by day 2.
Jeuveau and Botox, side by side
Evolus also ran a large head-to-head trial of 540 adults comparing Jeuveau with Botox Cosmetic. It found Jeuveau was not inferior, meaning it performed at least as well for frown lines at day 30. In everyday terms, both are proven options, and your injector can help you decide which suits you.
Dosing is similar too. A typical frown-line plan uses around 20 units, close to a Botox plan, so switching between the two is simple.

What is Jeuveau used for?
Jeuveau is FDA approved to temporarily improve moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows in adults. Injectors also use it off-label for forehead lines and crow’s feet.
Is Jeuveau the same as Botox?
They work in the same way and use a similar number of units, but they are different products from different makers. In a large head-to-head study, Jeuveau performed at least as well as Botox Cosmetic for frown lines.
How soon will I see results from Jeuveau?
Some people notice softening in as little as two days. Most see the full effect within one to two weeks.
How long does Jeuveau last?
Results typically last three to four months. Many people see benefit up to four months as muscle movement slowly returns.
Why is Jeuveau called Newtox?
It was the first neuromodulator developed only for cosmetic use, so it earned the nickname “Newtox” when it launched in 2019.
Will Jeuveau make me look frozen?
Not when it is dosed well. Our injectors treat only the muscles that cause your lines, so you keep natural expression.
Is Jeuveau a good choice for prevention in my 20s?
It can be. Small, well-placed doses relax the muscles that crease the skin before deep lines form. Your injector will tell you honestly if you do not need it yet.
How much does Jeuveau cost at PURE?
Jeuveau is priced per unit and your total depends on the areas treated. See our current pricing on the monthly offers page; your injector confirms the total first.
