About Jeuveau

The quick, virtually painless injections give you a smoother, revitalized look without surgery or downtime. Ideal for busy professionals, parents, and first-time injectable patients, Jeuveau helps you look refreshed and confident while still allowing natural facial movement.

What is Jeuveau?

Jeuveau is an FDA-approved cosmetic neuromodulator made from purified botulinum toxin type A. When injected into targeted facial muscles, it temporarily blocks the nerve signals that cause repetitive contractions. By easing this muscle activity, the overlying skin smooths out, softening moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles. Unlike fillers, which add volume, Jeuveau treats the root cause of expression lines. Results gradually appear within a few days and reach full effect by two weeks, revealing a refreshed yet natural look that lasts for several months. Because the treatment is quick and requires no downtime, many patients schedule Jeuveau during a lunch break and return to work right afterward.

What Jeuveau Can Do for You

If you're considering Jeuveau, the aesthetic team at South Coast Plastic Surgery will guide you every step of the way. Dr. Mark Song and our specialized nurses collaborate with you to design a treatment plan that smooths wrinkles while maintaining your natural expressions.
  • Smooths Furrows and Frown Lines
    Jeuveau effectively relaxes the glabellar muscles that create the dreaded “11” lines, leaving your brow looking calm and approachable.
  • Refreshes Your Appearance Without Surgery
    The minimally invasive injections take minutes to perform, offering a rejuvenated look without incisions, anesthesia recovery, or scars.
  • Allows Natural Facial Movement
    Precise placement and conservative dosing soften lines while preserving your ability to smile, frown, and emote naturally.
  • Quick Treatment, Zero Downtime Convenience
    Most patients return to work or social activities immediately, making Jeuveau an easy addition to even the busiest schedule.
  • Temporary Results for Flexible Aesthetic Planning
    Because effects last about three to four months, you can adjust dosing or areas treated at each visit to align with evolving goals.
  • Complements Other Non-Surgical Treatments
    Jeuveau pairs beautifully with dermal fillers, laser treatments, and skincare for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Key Benefits of Jeuveau

Softens moderate to severe expression lines for a rested appearance that still looks like you.
Provides a fast in-office treatment with results developing within just a few days after injections.
Offers predictable wrinkle-relaxing effects lasting up to four months with consistent follow-up scheduling.
Serves as a preventative option to delay deeper wrinkle formation in younger patients seeking early maintenance.

Types of Jeuveau

Standard Jeuveau for Dynamic Wrinkles

The classic approach focuses on glabellar lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet. Ideal for patients seeking noticeable smoothing of common expression lines while retaining natural movement.

Preventative (Baby) Jeuveau

Lower-dose micro-injections are used in younger patients to subtly relax muscles before deep lines set in. This technique maintains full expressiveness while slowing wrinkle progression.

Jeuveau Micro-Tox Skin Smoothing

Tiny droplets are placed superficially across the face or neck to refine skin texture, reduce pore size, and diminish fine crepey lines. Best for patients wanting an overall skin-tightening effect.

Your Jeuveau Journey and Recovery

Comprehensive Consultation & Assessment

Your journey begins with a private consultation with Dr. Song or one of our expert nurse injectors. This visit is focused on understanding what changes you'd like to see and whether Jeuveau is the right solution for your concerns.

During your consultation, your provider will:

  • Discuss your wrinkle concerns and desired outcome
  • Review medical history, medications, and allergies
  • Analyze facial expressions, symmetry, and muscle strength
  • Explain Jeuveau dosing, injection points, and expected longevity
  • Provide an individualized quote and answer all questions

Together, you'll create a treatment plan tailored to your anatomy and lifestyle, with safety and realistic outcomes as the priority.

The Jeuveau Procedure

A topical numbing cream can be applied for comfort, although most patients find injections easily tolerable without it.

During the procedure:

  • Skin is cleansed and marked for precise injection points
  • A very fine needle delivers small Jeuveau doses into target muscles
  • Injections typically take less than ten minutes to complete
  • Pressure or cold packs may be applied to minimize swelling

Once injections are finished, you can immediately return to normal activities, with only a few simple aftercare instructions.

Jeuveau Recovery Timeline

Recovery experiences vary, but most patients follow a similar general timeline.

Immediately after treatment
Mild redness or small bumps at injection sites usually resolve within 30-60 minutes.

First few days

  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
  • Do not massage or rub injected areas
  • Slight bruising may appear but is easily concealed with makeup

Weeks 1-2

  • Jeuveau effect gradually sets in, lines begin to soften
  • Full results typically visible by day 10-14
  • Follow-up photos may be taken to track progress

Jeuveau Results and Safety Considerations

Understanding how technique, anatomy, and aftercare influence Jeuveau outcomes helps you make confident, informed decisions.

Achieving Natural-Looking Results

Our providers take a conservative, artistry-driven approach—using the smallest effective dose and strategic injection points to soften lines without over-immobilizing your face. Facial muscle strength, skin thickness, and existing asymmetries all inform our dosing plan. We encourage open communication about your desired level of movement so we can tailor the treatment to deliver a refreshed, never frozen appearance.

Where Are the Incisions?

  • Jeuveau is delivered via ultrafine needles, so there are no surgical incisions.
  • Micro-injection points at targeted facial muscles
  • Any tiny needle marks fade within hours.

Is Scarring a Concern?

Because Jeuveau involves only needle injections, scarring is not an issue. Mild redness or pinpoint marks usually disappear quickly.

Injection Site Healing Timeline

  • Most patients experience minimal evidence of treatment:
  • Minutes 0-60
    Small bumps or redness may appear
  • Hours 1-4
    Injection sites typically settle and become barely visible
  • 24 hours
    Skin looks normal; makeup can be worn as desired

Following aftercare instructions—such as avoiding pressure and strenuous exercise—helps ensure optimal healing and results.

Understanding Risks and Safety

Understanding Risks and Safety

Jeuveau is generally safe when administered by a qualified professional, yet all medical treatments carry potential risks.

Potential risks may include:

  • Temporary bruising or redness at injection sites
  • Headache or flu-like symptoms
  • Eyelid or brow ptosis (rare and temporary)
  • Allergic reaction (extremely rare)
  • Uneven results if injected improperly
  • Resistance with very frequent injections

Your injector reviews these risks in detail, explains how they’re minimized, and ensures you understand what to expect.

Reducing Your Risk

Your safety is a top priority at South Coast Plastic Surgery. Steps taken to support a safe Jeuveau experience include:

  • Comprehensive medical history review to rule out contraindications
  • Use of single-use, sterile needles and vials opened just for you
  • Precise, anatomy-based injection technique
  • Detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up availability

When you choose an experienced provider and follow our guidance, complications are rare and typically minor.

Dr. Song performed my breast implant surgery nearly 10 yrs ago with the ideal breast implant. I've had no issues in this time. I live on the other side of the country now, but I would've loved to come back for removal, since I'm on an all natural journey. I hope to find someone who can take care of me, keep me safe, & assured during & after surgery as Dr. Song & his staff did.

N. Snoozzz

Thank you Dr. Song. I’m 10 days post opp and am so happy with my experience with my mommy makeover! I can’t tell you how comfortable Dr. Song and his staff made me feel throughout this whole process. Surgery is a bit of a scary decision and sometimes I agonized about for years but I can promise you are in the best care with this team. I highly highly recommend them and am already so happy with my results !
