We all know about Botox®, but have you heard about #NEWTOX? There’s a new wrinkle blocker on the market that has everyone’s attention. #NEWTOX, formally known as Jeuveau®, is a competitive injectable treatment that is said to reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the forehead and brows like Botox®. So, which is better? Let’s break each one down for you.
What is Botox®?
Botox® has become a household name over the past several years, and for good reason. Botox® is a minimally invasive injectable cosmetic treatment that reduces the appearance of fine lines and moderate wrinkles around the forehead, brows, and outer eyes. Formulated with a special toxin called botulinum, Botox® works by temporarily relaxing the muscles in the treated areas that cause wrinkles with the repetition of certain facial expressions. When the muscles are relaxed, the skin can relax too and the wrinkles can fade away. Botox® typically lasts about three to four months per treatment, so patients are generally encouraged to receive regular treatments every three to four months to maintain their desired results.
Benefits of Botox®
There are many benefits of receiving Botox® treatments, including:
- Minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment
- Results within five to seven days of treatment
- Smooths away fine lines and deep forehead wrinkles
- Improves frown lines between the brows
- Reduces the appearance of crow’s feet around the outer eyes
- Can be used to treat migraines, hyperhidrosis, and TMJ
- Results last three to four months per treatment
What is #NEWTOX?
Jeuveau®, known popularly in social media as #NEWTOX, is a newer minimally invasive injectable cosmetic treatment that also smooths away fine lines and wrinkles around the upper third of the face. Like Botox®, Jeuveau® is formulated with botulinum toxin which temporarily relaxes the muscles in the treated areas responsible for causing wrinkles through repeated facial expressions. The FDA approved Jeuveau® in being nearly identical to Botox® after two double-blind studies found its results comparable to that of its competitor. Like Botox®, Jeuveau® lasts about three to four months per treatment.

Is Botox® or Jeuveau® Better?
The answer to this question really depends on your body, your doctor’s recommendation, and your personal preference. If you have found your body has been resistant to the effects of Botox® in the past, Jeuveau® may be the alternative treatment that allows you to get the results you desire. Your doctor may also recommend one over the other depending on the size of your treated areas, your budget, and your desired results. Ultimately, the choice is up to you!
