Let's Talk About Jeuveau...aka "Newtox"
Botox…it’s been the Holy Grail of anti aging for many years now. Everyone and their cousin’s sister is getting Botox and if they deny it and have a smooth forhead, chances are they are lying. (#FACTS) For those of you who are not as familiar with the injectable as I am, Botox serves as an age-defying, muscle relaxer.
How Long Have I Been Getting Botox and Why?
I have had Botox and like injectables since I was 26 years old. I know, some of you probably think I’m crazy like “why on earth would she get that done at such a young age?” The reason being, it is not only used to help with wrinkles but it prevents the wrinkles from even forming because those muscles are not moving. After years of religious treatments, I began to notice the results were taking longer to show up (usually goes into full effect in 7-10 days); and with each treatment, the results were less and less dramatic. I also was beyond ready to get it redone within 2-3 months and felt like I was losing the “Hey, I just got a 10 hour night of sleep!” look. Sometimes when this happens there are other options on the market, such as Dysport and Xeomin, but still nothing had the effect I was after.
Luckily, while recently visiting LUX MedSpa here in Atlanta, they told me about a new product that was hitting the market that would be going toe to toe with Botox called Jeuveau. You can imagine how excited I got. Hahaha!
So What Is Jeuveau and Is It Safe?
Like Botox, Jeuveau is also FDA approved, (so yes, it is safe!) and works exactly the same, just in a purer form. This is where the nickname “Newtox” comes from! This means longer lasting results and faster onset. As soon as I heard about Jeaveau, I knew I HAD to try it! Luckily LUX has amazing master injectors, so I knew I was in good hands. I scheduled my appointment with Sonya and the whole process was great! Not only did she answer all of my questions but she informed me of other areas that would benefit from injections. For example, did you know you can also inject the bands of your neck to slow down the aging process there as well? WOW! I thought that was really cool.
How About Recovery?
Just like Botox, Jeaveau requires little to no down time at all, hence the “lunchtime treatment’’ tagline the injectable has received over the years. You can resume exercise the following day and should keep your head elevated for 4 hours post treatment.
How Soon Will I Start To Notice It Working?
Everyone is different when it comes to this. Usually I start to notice a difference on Day 2 or 3, but I have even experienced near immediate onset, so it really all depends.
How Much Does It Cost?
Ok, so here is the big part I loved the most….since the product is in a purer form, Jeuveau has been shown to last longer on patients. As a whole, patients have their Botox redone every 3 months. But with Jeuveau, results usually last 4 months. That amounts to 3 treatments a year vs. 4 treatments a year, so you’re annual savings are essentially the cost of an entire visit. The price per unit can vary from practice to practice, but LUX MedSpa charges $12/unit. People usually need anywhere from 20-100 units depending on your specific needs. The biggest attraction at LUX MedSpa lies within their Spa Membership Program, which saves members money on all services offered. If you are a member, the prices of Jeuveau is only $10/unit, (plus, your first Jeaveau treatment is $75 off for a limited time!). The cost of the membership is $100/month, but you’re immediately receiving your money’s worth with a free facial, massage or service of equal price every month, in addition to discounts on other services. TOTALLY worth it to me!
