Unlock a More Youthful You with Modern Wrinkle Relaxers
The quest for smooth, radiant skin is timeless. While fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of life, modern aesthetic treatments offer incredible options for refreshing your appearance and restoring confidence. You’ve likely heard of Botox, but the world of cosmetic injectables has evolved. Today, we’re focusing on Jeuveau, a powerful neurotoxin specifically designed to tackle stubborn frown lines, and it’s making waves right here in Boise, Idaho.
What Exactly Is Jeuveau? The #Newtox Explained
Jeuveau®, also known by its scientific name prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs, is an FDA-approved prescription medicine used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines—those vertical frown lines between your eyebrows. Often called “#Newtox,” Jeuveau is a highly purified form of botulinum toxin type A, the same active ingredient found in Botox.
Its primary function is to work as a neuromodulator. When injected into specific muscles, Jeuveau blocks nerve signals that cause them to contract. This temporary muscle relaxation smooths the overlying skin, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles that form from repeated facial expressions like frowning, squinting, or concentrating. It’s a precise and effective way to achieve a softer, more rested look without surgery.
Jeuveau vs. The Classics: How Does It Compare?
While Jeuveau and Botox share the same goal, subtle differences in their manufacturing and formulation can influence their effects. Understanding these distinctions can help you and your provider decide on the best wrinkle treatment for your unique needs.

Your Jeuveau Journey at Sweet Spot Spa
Step 1: The Personal Consultation
Your experience begins with a conversation. You’ll meet with one of our compassionate healthcare professionals to discuss your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and analyze your facial anatomy. This ensures Jeuveau is a safe and effective choice for you and allows us to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your desired results.
Step 2: A Quick & Comfortable Treatment
The injection process itself is very quick, often taking just 10 to 15 minutes. We use a very fine needle to administer the Jeuveau into the targeted muscles. Most clients report minimal discomfort, often describing it as a slight pinch. There’s no downtime required, so you can easily fit the appointment into your busy day and return to your normal activities immediately afterward.
Step 3: Aftercare & Beautiful Results
We’ll provide simple aftercare instructions, like avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours and not rubbing the treated area. You can expect to see the smoothing effects of your Jeuveau treatment begin to appear within a few days, with full results visible in about one to two weeks. These beautiful, natural-looking results typically last for 3 to 4 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Jeuveau treatment take?
The actual injection process is very fast, typically lasting only 10-15 minutes. It’s often called a “lunchtime procedure” because you can be in and out of the spa quickly with no downtime.
Is the Jeuveau treatment painful?
Discomfort is minimal. We use a very fine needle, and most clients compare the sensation to a quick pinch. We take every measure to ensure you are comfortable throughout the process.
When will I see results and how long do they last?
You may start to notice results in as little as 2-3 days, with the full effect becoming visible within 1-2 weeks. The smooth, refreshed look from Jeuveau typically lasts around 3-4 months.
Are there any potential side effects?
The most common side effects are mild and temporary, including minor bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. More serious side effects are rare when the treatment is performed by a qualified professional.
Can I combine Jeuveau with other treatments?
Absolutely. Jeuveau is excellent for treating dynamic wrinkles, while treatments like dermal fillers are better for addressing volume loss. Combining these treatments can provide a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. We can discuss a full treatment plan during your consultation.
