Jeuveau®, sometimes called “Newtox,” is one of the most advanced injectable neurotoxins designed to smooth frown lines and reduce dynamic wrinkles. Whether you’re new to Jeuveau or a seasoned user, knowing what to avoid after treatment is crucial to achieving the best, longest-lasting results.
At PURE MED SPA Chicago, expert injectors ensure your Jeuveau® experience is safe, personalized, and effective. And they’ll walk you through everything you need to know for post-treatment care.
Why Jeuveau Requires Special Aftercare
Jeuveau® works by relaxing specific facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, particularly the glabellar lines (the “11s” between your brows). While the treatment itself is quick and relatively painless, the aftercare process plays a critical role in how well the product settles and how natural your results look.
Making a few small changes to your routine after your appointment can mean the difference between good and great results.
The Top 4 Things to Avoid After Jeuveau Treatment
- Avoid Touching or Rubbing the Treated Area
It might be tempting to feel your skin after your Jeuveau® session, but resist the urge! Touching, rubbing, or massaging the area can cause the product to migrate to unintended muscles, leading to uneven results.
DO THIS INSTEAD:
Let your skin rest for at least 24 hours.
If you experience any itching or tightness, use a cold compress—but never rub.
At PURE MED SPA Chicago, all clients receive clear, customized instructions for post-treatment care based on their skin type and treatment area.
- Skip Intense Exercise for 24 Hours
High-intensity workouts increase blood flow and body heat, which can reduce Jeuveau’s effectiveness or cause it to spread. Avoid:
Cardio workouts
Hot yoga
Weightlifting
Saunas or steam rooms
Stick to gentle walks or stretching if needed, and resume normal workouts the next day.
This is a golden rule emphasized at PURE MED SPA Chicago, where clients are guided through a complete recovery roadmap to ensure maximum results.
- Don’t Lie Down Right After Your Injections
Lying flat can also cause the injectable to move or settle incorrectly. It’s best to stay upright for at least 4–6 hours after your Jeuveau® appointment.
Why it matters: Gravity plays a role in keeping the product in the right spot, especially during those critical first few hours.
To help you remember, book your Jeuveau® treatments earlier in the day. That’s the kind of tip you’ll always get at PURE MED SPA Chicago, where attention to detail leads to stunning results.
- Avoid Alcohol and Blood Thinners
Alcohol and blood-thinning medications can increase your risk of bruising after any injectable treatment. To minimize this:
Skip wine, cocktails, or beer for 24–48 hours.
Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil supplements unless prescribed by a doctor.
At PURE MED SPA Chicago, providers assess your health history to help you plan your treatment safely and effectively.
Additional Jeuveau Aftercare Tips
Beyond the “what not to do,” there are some proactive things you can do to support your Jeuveau® treatment.
✅ Use Gentle Skincare Products
Avoid exfoliating agents, strong acids, or retinoids for 24–48 hours. Stick with:
Gentle cleansers
Lightweight moisturizers
Mineral-based SPF
PURE MED SPA Chicago offers medical-grade skincare lines tailored for post-injection care.
✅ Stay Cool
Skip hot tubs, saunas, and tanning beds for the first few days. Heat can cause inflammation and affect how Jeuveau® settles.
✅ Sleep on Your Back
For the first night, sleep face-up to prevent unnecessary pressure on your injection sites.
Common Side Effects of Jeuveau (And What’s Normal)
Mild side effects can occur after Jeuveau® treatment, and they usually resolve within a few days. These include:
Redness or swelling at the injection site
Mild bruising
Slight tightness or tenderness
If you experience anything unusual—like difficulty breathing or swallowing—seek medical attention immediately. This is extremely rare, especially when you get treated at reputable providers like PURE MED SPA Chicago.
How Long Does Jeuveau Last?
Results typically begin to appear within 2–5 days and can last up to 4 months. Factors like metabolism, dosage, and treatment area affect longevity.
PURE MED SPA Chicago recommends maintenance appointments every 3–4 months to keep your results consistent and natural-looking.
