If you’re considering the wrinkle-relaxing toxin Jeuveau to smooth out facial wrinkles and refresh your appearance, one of the most common questions is: how many units of Jeuveau do I need? The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all. Depending on your unique facial anatomy, muscle strength, and aesthetic goals, the number of Jeuveau units per area can vary.
Jeuveau is a powerful neuromodulator, similar to Botox, and is made from botulinum toxin type A. Unlike Botox, it was developed exclusively for aesthetic use. When injected by an expert like Dr. Schrader, Jeuveau helps relax overactive muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles—those lines that appear with facial movement. Whether you’re targeting forehead lines, crow’s feet, or frown lines, understanding your ideal dosage can help you plan your treatment and feel more confident in your results.
Let’s break it down by facial area, go over what affects your treatment plan, and explain why expert care makes all the difference.
What to Know About the Neurotoxin Jeuveau
- Jeuveau dosage depends on the area treated, muscle strength, and individual goals.
- Common areas treated include the forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, bunny lines, chin, and neck.
- Most patients begin to see the effects of Jeuveau within 3–5 days, with full results in 7–10 days.
- Results typically last 3–4 months, with maintenance recommended.
- A consultation with Dr. Schrader ensures your treatment is customized and safe.
How Jeuveau Works
Jeuveau is a botulinum toxin type A injectable treatment that works by temporarily relaxing facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. These are the lines that show up when you smile, squint, or frown. By blocking the nerve signals to the targeted muscles, Jeuveau reduces their movement—resulting in smoother skin and a more refreshed look.
Unlike some other neurotoxin treatments, Jeuveau was developed specifically for cosmetic use. Clinical trials have shown that it’s a safe and effective treatment for reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles, especially frown lines between the eyebrows. Its effects are temporary but powerful, offering patients a non-surgical way to rejuvenate their appearance.
What Areas Can Jeuveau Treat?
Jeuveau is used to treat a range of common problem areas on the face and neck. The number of Jeuveau units needed per area varies depending on muscle strength, skin thickness, and how expressive your face is. Below is a breakdown of the most popular treatment areas. Other areas, such as lip wrinkles, jawline definition, under-eye lines, and drooping mouth corners, may also be treated depending on your goals and facial anatomy.
Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines)
These are the vertical lines that appear between the eyebrows when you squint or frown. For most patients, the ideal treatment involves 20–40 units of Jeuveau across five injection sites. This helps soften the appearance of angry or tired expressions.
Forehead Lines
Wondering how many units of Jeuveau do I need for forehead lines? The forehead typically requires 10–30 units, depending on how deep the lines are and the size of your forehead. It’s essential that the dosage is carefully balanced with the glabella (frown lines) to avoid eyebrow drooping.
Crow’s Feet
These are the smile lines that radiate from the corners of the eyes. Treatment here usually involves 10–20 units per side, targeting the muscles responsible for squinting. Patients love how Jeuveau smooths these fine lines without freezing natural expressions.
Bunny Lines
These subtle lines appear on the sides of the nose when you scrunch it. They often require 4–10 units, and treatment here can enhance the overall smoothness of the upper face.
Chin Dimpling
Jeuveau can reduce the appearance of an “orange peel” texture on the chin, caused by overactive mentalis muscles. Typically, 6–8 units are used to relax the area.
Neck Bands
Jeuveau can also treat platysmal bands on the neck, especially when they cause visible lines and creases. Depending on the severity, 20–50 units may be needed across multiple injection sites.
Additional areas sometimes treated include fine wrinkles around the lips, under-eye creases, and the jawline to refine facial contours or address drooping mouth corners. Dr. Schrader will evaluate your facial structure and recommend the best areas to target for balanced, natural-looking results.
What Determines Your Jeuveau Dosage?
No two faces are the same, which is why Jeuveau treatment plans must be personalized. Several key factors influence how many units of Jeuveau you might need:
- Muscle strength and activity: Stronger muscles often require a higher dose to achieve the desired result.
- Facial anatomy: The size and depth of the treatment area can affect how much product is necessary.
- Desired results: Some patients want a dramatic smoothing effect, while others prefer a more natural look.
- Past use of neurotoxins: If you’ve had Botox or Jeuveau before, your provider may adjust your dose based on your past response.
A thorough consultation with an experienced provider like Dr. Schrader ensures you get the most effective treatment for your specific needs.
