Botox vs Jeuveau: What’s the Difference?
When you think of Botox injections, you don’t always think about the different brands of the same wonderful paralytic that helps smooth out your fine lines and wrinkles.
Botox actually is a brand name for botulinum toxin. There are multiple types of botulinum toxin including prabotulinumtoxinA and onabotulinumtoxinA, so it’s important to know if both are effective.
A DUEL
Botox has been around much longer than Jeuveau, and both are different botulinumtoxins. Rzany et al wanted to find out if consumers could expect the same results they were getting with cosmetic Botox if they tried Jeuveau.
A large group of 540 individuals were given either Botox or Jeuveau, and there were no signs that Jeuveau was inferior to Botox.
A Plan Forward
This means that if you’ve been receiving Botox for many years, you could still try Jeuveau and not expect any less effectiveness.
There may be reasons why you would choose one tox over the other, like how long it takes to kick in or how long it lasts for you, but total effectiveness should not be one.
