For many years Botox has been the recognized brand of wrinkle relaxing injectables. Even with newer competitors like Xeomin and Dysport appearing on the market Botox continues to be the gold standard. Botox is safe, it’s effective and it’s a proven treatment for many medical disorders as well as for cosmetic purposes. Perhaps until now? Enter Jeuveau.

Jeuveau, also known as #Newtox is another purified form of botulinum toxin that has been shown to deliver temporary improvement in moderate to severe frown lines by blocking the signal from the nerve to the muscle that cause frown lines and help reduce the appearance of movement lines in the forehead and around the eyes. Jeuveau is another good, non-surgical options that reduces the effects of aging and helps regain and maintain a more youthful appearance.

As with most things in medicine the talent and experience of the person administering your treatment is important. Dr. Kevin Bounds, our Director and a Plastic Surgeon, is our injector. Who better to perform your treatments than a physician who understands your face on the outside and inside!

Patients have ask us many good questions about Botox and Jeuveau treatments among them:

What is the difference between Jeuveau and Botox?

Overall Jeuveau and Botox are very similar as each is a type of botulinum type A used to relax the muscles that cause frown lines and other fine lines and wrinkles. Personal preference is the determiner as to which serum is chosen.

How long will a treatment last?

You can expect results from either injectable to last three to four months.

When will I see results?

Patients typically see results within five to seven days.

How much does a treatment cost?

Our Expert Injector Dr. Bounds will listen to your concerns and evaluate your needs. Charges for the treatments are by area.  A follow up appointment is scheduled approximately two weeks after your treatment and any additional treatment that is needed will be at no charge.

Tell me more about the actual treatment.

Treatments are injections with a very small needle which may feel like a pinch and are generally well tolerated. There is really no downtime other than a few red marks at the injection site that should disappear in a few hours.

So what are Brotox treatments and how do they work?

Botox is a quick, safe effective treatment which reduces or eliminates facial lines and wrinkles for four to six months. A series of tiny injections temporarily immobilize the small muscles which contract when we frown, squint or look worried.  After treatment the person looks rejuvenated as horizontal lines across the forehead, frown lines between the eyes and crowsfeet around the eyes are reduced or eliminated.

Will I look natural after treatment? …..  This is a question we hear often.

One frequently expressed concern is that treatment might result in a frozen or unnatural look.  We have seen these poor results on the internet or in Entertainment blogs too and it is unattractive.  But what we also see are the great results in our patients who are happy with their youthful and natural countenance after treatment.

Who should be providing my Botox treatments?

Although Botox is not a surgical treatment, to get the best treatment possible you want the best injector. Men considering Botox in Hampton Roads should look for physicians who focus on cosmetic procedures and are certified by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. A high level of expertise and knowledge of facial anatomy is key to great results from your Botox treatment. This is a key factor for men as their goals and anatomy may differ from those in a woman. Any doctor or supervised nurse can inject Botox, but that may not mean they have had significant experience doing so.

Why look worried when there’s Botox. Call for your treatment today!
