Your Modern Solution to Stubborn Frown Lines
In the pursuit of maintaining a youthful, vibrant appearance that matches how we feel inside, the world of medical aesthetics continually offers new and exciting solutions. For those in Boise and Meridian troubled by persistent frown lines, there’s a modern neurotoxin making waves: Jeuveau®. Nicknamed the “#NewTox,” Jeuveau is an advanced injectable treatment specifically designed to smooth moderate to severe glabellar lines—the vertical creases that form between your eyebrows. At Sweet Spot Spa, we are proud to offer this cutting-edge treatment to help you achieve a refreshed, natural-looking result.
Jeuveau provides a targeted approach to wrinkle reduction, giving you the power to control your aesthetic journey with precision and confidence. It represents the next generation of neuromodulators, developed with modern technology and a singular focus on aesthetic outcomes.
What Exactly is Jeuveau?
Jeuveau® (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) is a prescription injectable that was FDA-approved in 2019, making it the first new neurotoxin available for aesthetic use in the United States in nearly a decade. Like other popular treatments such as Botox, Jeuveau is derived from botulinum toxin type A. Its primary function is to temporarily relax the specific muscles responsible for creating dynamic wrinkles.
What sets Jeuveau apart is its unique manufacturing process using Hi-Pure™ technology, a proprietary purification method that creates a highly purified form of the toxin. It was developed exclusively for cosmetic purposes and has been rigorously studied in clinical trials for its effectiveness in treating glabellar lines, showing significant improvement in the majority of patients.
How Does Jeuveau Work to Smooth Wrinkles?
Repetitive facial expressions, like frowning, squinting, or concentrating, cause the underlying muscles to contract. Over time, this leads to the formation of dynamic wrinkles, such as the “11s” between your brows. Jeuveau works by blocking the nerve signals that tell these muscles to contract. By preventing the muscle from moving, the overlying skin smooths out, softening existing lines and preventing them from deepening further. The result is a more relaxed and rejuvenated appearance, without looking “frozen” or unnatural.
This targeted muscle relaxation is the cornerstone of neuromodulator treatments. By choosing a trusted provider like the healthcare professionals at Sweet Spot Spa, you ensure the treatment is administered precisely for beautiful, subtle results that enhance your natural features.
Jeuveau vs. Other Neurotoxins: A Quick Comparison
While Jeuveau, Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® are all derived from botulinum toxin type A and work similarly, there are subtle differences in their formulation, onset, and approved uses. Understanding these can help you and your provider at Sweet Spot Spa make the best choice for your unique goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Jeuveau treatment take?
A Jeuveau appointment is very quick, typically lasting only 10 to 20 minutes from start to finish.
Is a Jeuveau injection painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort. The sensation is often described as a slight pinch. We use a very fine needle to ensure the experience is as comfortable as possible.
How long do Jeuveau results last?
The wrinkle-smoothing effects of Jeuveau typically last between 3 to 5 months. Individual results can vary depending on factors like your metabolism and muscle activity. Regular follow-up treatments can help maintain your refreshed look.
What is the difference between Jeuveau and dermal fillers?
Jeuveau is a neurotoxin that relaxes muscles to treat dynamic wrinkles caused by movement. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, use substances like hyaluronic acid to add volume, plump skin, and fill in static wrinkles that are present even when the face is at rest. They address different types of aging concerns.
