Jeuveau Units
Jeuveau’s labeled dose for frown lines matches Botox’s, with 4 units at each of five points.
A neuromodulator developed for cosmetic use, approved for frown lines.
Jeuveau is a neuromodulator from the same family as Botox, used to soften vertical frown lines between your brows. Jeuveau relaxes the facial muscles that crease the skin, causing those lines to soften and the skin to lie smoother. Results develop over about two weeks and wear off gradually after a few months.
At Luxe Forté Medical Spa in Cherry Creek, we’ll help you decide whether Jeuveau or Botox suits your goals. We’ll walk you through what to expect, from planning your dose to what you’ll notice in the weeks afterward.
These are typical starting points. Your details will be confirmed during consultation.

Jeuveau and Botox share a frown line dose, injection pattern, and added ingredients. Where they part ways is the range of FDA-approved areas, which is much wider for Botox.
| Feature | Jeuveau | Botox |
|---|---|---|
| FDA cosmetic approval for: | Frown lines only, adults 18 and older | Frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, neck bands, adults 18 and older |
| Labeled frown line dose: | 20 units at 5 points | 20 units at 5 points |
| Formulation: | 900 kDa botulinum toxin type A, human albumin, and sodium chloride | Clostridium botulinum type A, human albumin, and sodium chloride |
| Typical duration: | Up to about 4 months | About 3 to 4 months |
| Medical uses: | None, cosmetic only | A separate Botox product treats migraine and other conditions |
Jeuveau is FDA-approved for moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in adults. At Luxe Forté, we also use Jeuveau for forehead lines, crow’s feet, and bunny lines on the nose. These uses are off-label, and we’ll explain what that means before you decide.
Treatment areas and dosing will be confirmed during your consultation.
Jeuveau’s labeled dose for frown lines matches Botox’s, with 4 units at each of five points.
Because Jeuveau and Botox perform similarly for frown lines, the choice often comes down to your other treatment areas. If you’d like forehead lines or crow’s feet treated with an FDA-approved product, Botox covers those areas and Jeuveau does not.
Jeuveau takes about two weeks to reach full effect. If you’re planning treatment before a wedding or another important event, schedule it about a month ahead. That leaves time for a follow-up adjustment if you need one.
You may be a candidate for Jeuveau if you:
Jeuveau should not be used if you’re allergic to any botulinum toxin product or its ingredients. We’ll review your medications and medical history to determine whether Jeuveau is appropriate for you. Treatment is usually postponed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if there is an infection where you’d be treated. Certain nerve and muscle conditions may mean Jeuveau should be avoided. If Botox or Dysport already works well for you, there may be no reason to switch to Jeuveau.
Luxe Forté was created to bring more spa into the traditional medspa experience. We’ll take time to talk through your goals, confirm your dose for each treatment area, check your comfort as we work, and go over aftercare and your follow-up before you leave.
A Jeuveau visit takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
We watch how your brows move as you frown and confirm your dose.
For frown lines, your provider uses the five points set out on Jeuveau’s label.
We go over home care and when results should appear.
There is little to no downtime after Jeuveau. Here is what most clients can expect:
You may see small raised bumps or pinpoint redness where the needle went in. These usually fade within an hour. Most clients return to work and usual activities the same day. Avoid rubbing or pressing on the treated areas.
Avoid strenuous exercise and heat exposure, such as saunas or hot yoga, for 24 hours. Light activity is fine. Mild bruising, tenderness, or a headache can occur.
Muscle movement softens gradually, and lines start to look smoother. Full effect usually takes about two weeks. We’ll see you around then to assess your results and make small adjustments if needed.
The effect gradually wears off. Many clients schedule their next treatment when they notice lines returning.
Reach out if an eyelid or brow droops or your results look uneven. Jeuveau, like every botulinum toxin product, carries an FDA warning that its effect can rarely spread beyond the treated area. Get medical care right away for trouble swallowing, speaking, or breathing.

Jeuveau and other neurotoxins at Luxe Forté typically cost $4.50 to $14 per unit, depending on the product. Although Jeuveau and Botox share a labeled dose, their units aren’t interchangeable, so compare the total for your areas if you are deciding between formulations.
During your consultation, you will be given a detailed quote. We’ll explain all that the total includes and when your next treatment is likely to be due.

No, though the two are similar. Both are botulinum toxin type A with the same frown line dose, and a large study found their results comparable. Botox is approved for more facial areas and has been in use much longer.
Studies haven’t clearly shown that Jeuveau starts working sooner. We plan for full effect at about two weeks. If quick onset matters for an event, ask us about Dysport.
Yes. We’ll set your Jeuveau dose based on how you’ve responded to Botox and adjust at follow-up if needed.
No. Jeuveau is FDA approved only for moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in adults. Forehead lines, crow’s feet, and bunny lines are off-label uses.
Jeuveau is priced per unit within our neurotoxin range of $4.50 to $14. Your quote will reflect the areas you choose.
Headache was the most common side effect reported in Jeuveau’s studies. Bruising and a drooping eyelid are possible, and a droop usually fades as the product wears off.
