BotoxLook Younger with Neurotoxin Cosmetic

If moderate-to-severe lines have begun to form between your eyebrows, on your forehead or around your eyes, our Neurotoxin Cosmetic treatments, may be right for you. Millions of men and women have turned to Neurotoxin Cosmetic to achieve a smoother and younger-looking appearance.

How Neurotoxin Cosmetic Works

Repeated muscle contractions in the face are one of the underlying causes of facial lines. During a Neurotoxin Cosmetic treatment, small amounts of purified botulinum toxin medication are injected into targeted muscles of the face. The medication allows the facial muscles to relax by blocking nerve impulses. As a result, facial lines are softened and your appearance is rejuvenated.

The treatment takes approximately 10 minutes; the injections are often described as a pinching sensation. It is important to choose an experienced doctor who is trained in Neurotoxin Cosmetic injections so you achieve a natural-looking appearance. Our Licensed Aesthetician Christine Fitzgerald has been in the ophthalmology world for 12 years. She's an experienced technician with 12 years of practice management, surgical assisting, and training under her belt. Her unique background allows her to give you serious results while protecting the delicate tissues surrounding the eyes.

jeuveau

What is Jeuveau®?

Jeuveau® is an injectable neuromodulator product that temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause the vertical lines between your eyes. Unlike wrinkles that are caused by reduced levels of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin, glabellar lines form in response to the skin being pinched by muscle contractions. Jeuveau® contains botulinum toxin, the same ingredient as Neurotoxin, yet the product is designed specifically for vertical lines between the brows and eyes.

What Can Be Treated with Jeuveau®?

Jeuveau® is FDA-approved for cosmetic treatments of moderate to severe glabellar lines that form between the eyebrows. These are some of the earliest signs of aging because they develop in response to repeated pinching of the skin from facial expressions. Once the muscles are relaxed, the skin has time to smooth out and reduce the visible wrinkles.

Please discuss any concerns or past history of allergic reactions to products that contain botulinum toxin. If you are not a good candidate for Jeuveau®, we will recommend one of our other cosmetic ophthalmology services to help you achieve you anti-aging goals.

How is Jeuveau® Performed?

Jeuveau® is a minimally-invasive cosmetic treatment, and the procedure only involves a series of injections with an ultrafine needle. Several injections are made within the muscles that control facial expressions in the upper third of the face. The size of the needle ensures patient comfort. The only sensation may be a slight pinch when the needle is inserted into the skin and muscle tissue. The treatment takes as little as 10 minutes.

What to Expect After Jeuveau®

After your Jeuveau® injections, you may notice some softening of the glabellar lines. Full results may take several days. On average, wrinkle reduction with Jeuveau® last three to six months. We recommend follow-up treatments every four months to maintain the anti-aging benefits of the injections.

Jeuveau® Recovery

You can return to your normal activities right after your Jeuveau® treatment. There may also be some localized symptoms around each injection site, such as pinpoint bleeding, swelling, tenderness, and bruising. These symptoms indicate your body’s reactions to the injections rather than the Jeuveau® product itself.

How Much Does Jeuveau® Cost?

The cost of Jeuveau® treatment is based on several factors, so we recommend that you schedule a consultation to learn more. At Colorado Ophthalmology and CosMEDics, we strive to keep our prices affordable for men and women. We also offer financing options.
