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.
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 LinesJeuveau effectively relaxes the glabellar muscles that create the dreaded “11” lines, leaving your brow looking calm and approachable.
- Refreshes Your Appearance Without SurgeryThe minimally invasive injections take minutes to perform, offering a rejuvenated look without incisions, anesthesia recovery, or scars.
- Allows Natural Facial MovementPrecise placement and conservative dosing soften lines while preserving your ability to smile, frown, and emote naturally.
- Quick Treatment, Zero Downtime ConvenienceMost patients return to work or social activities immediately, making Jeuveau an easy addition to even the busiest schedule.
- Temporary Results for Flexible Aesthetic PlanningBecause 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 TreatmentsJeuveau pairs beautifully with dermal fillers, laser treatments, and skincare for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 !
About the procedure
How does Jeuveau differ from Botox?
Jeuveau and Botox are both botulinum toxin type A products, but Jeuveau undergoes a different purification process. Some patients find it has a faster onset or slightly different feel, yet both offer similar wrinkle-smoothing results.
How many units of Jeuveau will I need?
Unit requirements vary based on muscle strength and treatment area. During your consultation, we’ll assess your anatomy and recommend a precise dose to achieve your desired outcome.
Will the injections hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as quick pinches. We can apply topical numbing or ice to make the process even more comfortable.
When will I see results after Jeuveau?
You may notice subtle changes within 2-3 days, with full results typically visible by 10-14 days.
Recovery & Results
How long do Jeuveau results last?
Results usually last three to four months, though longevity can vary based on metabolism, lifestyle, and dosing.
Can I wear makeup after my appointment?
Yes. We recommend waiting at least one hour before applying makeup to minimize the risk of irritation.
Is botulinum toxin safe?
Jeuveau has an excellent safety profile when administered by trained professionals. Side effects are typically mild and temporary.
What happens if I stop getting treatments?
Your muscles will gradually regain full activity, and wrinkles will slowly return to their pre-treatment appearance without worsening.

Is Jeuveau covered by insurance?
Cosmetic Jeuveau treatments are considered elective and are not covered by insurance.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. We partner with CareCredit and Alphaeon to provide convenient financing options for qualified patients.
Can I exercise after Jeuveau injections?
We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours to minimize swelling and prevent product migration.
