A Fresh Approach to Youthful Skin
In the pursuit of maintaining a vibrant, youthful appearance, new and innovative treatments are continually emerging. For residents of Meridian and the greater Boise area, one of the most exciting advancements in cosmetic injectables is Jeuveau. Often nicknamed “Newtox,” Jeuveau is an FDA-approved neurotoxin specifically designed to smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. If you’ve noticed those “11 lines” becoming more prominent, Jeuveau offers a targeted solution to relax, refresh, and rejuvenate your look.
At Sweet Spot Spa, we are dedicated to providing the latest and most effective treatments to help you achieve your aesthetic goals with confidence. Understanding what Jeuveau is, how it works, and what to expect is the first step toward deciding if this modern wrinkle reduction treatment is the perfect fit for you.
What Exactly is Jeuveau?
Jeuveau, scientifically known as prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs, is a botulinum toxin type A injection, similar to other well-known neurotoxins like Botox. Its primary function is to temporarily relax the specific muscles responsible for creating dynamic wrinkles—the lines that form from repeated facial expressions like frowning, squinting, or concentrating. By blocking the nerve signals that cause these muscles to contract, Jeuveau allows the overlying skin to smooth out, significantly reducing the appearance of deep-set lines.
While it works on a similar principle to its predecessors, Jeuveau was developed exclusively for aesthetic purposes. It was FDA-approved in 2019 specifically for treating glabellar lines, making it one of the newest neurotoxins available on the market.
Jeuveau vs. Other Neurotoxins: A Quick Comparison
While all neurotoxins aim to reduce wrinkles, there are subtle differences in their formulation, onset, and application. Understanding these can help you and your provider at Sweet Spot Spa make the best choice for your unique needs.

Your Jeuveau Experience at Sweet Spot Spa
Deciding to pursue an aesthetic treatment is a personal journey. Our goal is to make it a comfortable, informed, and rewarding one. Here’s what you can expect when you choose Jeuveau.
Step 1: Your Personal Consultation
Your treatment begins with a one-on-one consultation with one of our compassionate healthcare professionals. We will discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate your facial anatomy, and review your medical history to ensure Jeuveau is a safe and effective option for you. This is the perfect time to ask questions and design a personalized treatment plan.
Step 2: The Quick & Comfortable Treatment
The injection process itself is very quick, often taking just 10-15 minutes. Using a very fine needle, your provider will strategically administer Jeuveau into the target muscles. Most clients report minimal discomfort, often describing it as a slight pinch.
Step 3: Aftercare and Enjoying Your Results
There is virtually no downtime with Jeuveau, allowing you to return to most of your daily activities immediately. We will provide you with simple aftercare instructions, such as avoiding strenuous exercise and refraining from rubbing the treated area for the first 24 hours. You’ll begin to see a visible smoothing of your frown lines within a few days, with the full, beautiful results becoming apparent in about one to two weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Jeuveau last?
The effects of Jeuveau typically last for three to four months. With regular treatments, some individuals find that the results may last longer over time as the muscles become trained to relax.
Is the Jeuveau treatment painful?
Most patients experience very minimal discomfort. The sensation is often compared to a quick pinch. We take every measure to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible.
What is the recovery time after a Jeuveau treatment?
There is no significant downtime required after Jeuveau injections. You can typically resume your normal daily routine immediately, though we recommend avoiding intense physical activity, excessive heat, and alcohol for the first 24 hours to minimize potential bruising or swelling.
When will I see the results?
While individual results vary, many people start to see initial improvements within 2 to 3 days after treatment. The full effect is typically visible after about 14 days.
