Jeuveau

Jeuveau is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator designed to temporarily smooth moderate to severe dynamic facial wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movement. Often referred to as “Newtox,” Jeuveau is specifically formulated for aesthetic use, making it a modern option for patients seeking refreshed, natural-looking results without surgery. At CK Plastic Surgery in Koreatown, Los Angeles, Dr. Charles Kim uses advanced facial analysis and precision injection techniques to customize Jeuveau treatments for each patient’s anatomy. The result is a smoother, more youthful appearance that preserves natural facial expression while softening frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet.

Overview

Jeuveau is a purified botulinum toxin type A injectable developed exclusively for cosmetic facial rejuvenation. Unlike earlier neuromodulators originally created for medical indications, Jeuveau was engineered specifically for aesthetic performance, precision, and consistency. It works by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles lines that form due to repeated expressions such as frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows.

At CK Plastic Surgery, Dr. Charles Kim approaches Jeuveau injections with a deep understanding of facial anatomy, muscle dynamics, and aesthetic balance. Rather than treating wrinkles in isolation, Dr. Kim performs a comprehensive facial analysis to evaluate muscle strength, symmetry, skin quality, and overall facial harmony. This personalized approach ensures that Jeuveau enhances the face subtly, avoiding a frozen or over-treated appearance.

Jeuveau is most commonly used to treat glabellar lines (the “11 lines” between the eyebrows), horizontal forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet around the eyes. It is also frequently incorporated into combination treatment plans alongside dermal fillers, skin resurfacing treatments, or laser procedures for comprehensive non-surgical facial rejuvenation. Patients seeking wrinkle reduction without surgery often prefer Jeuveau due to its smooth onset, predictable results, and refined aesthetic outcome.

Dr. Kim’s injection technique prioritizes precision, safety, and natural movement. Using conservative dosing and strategically placed injections, he minimizes unwanted muscle diffusion while preserving expressive facial function. This level of expertise is especially important for patients with asymmetry, strong facial musculature, or previous neuromodulator treatments.

Jeuveau treatments are performed in-office and typically take less than 20 minutes, making them ideal for busy professionals seeking minimal downtime cosmetic procedures in Los Angeles. Results gradually appear within several days and continue to improve over one to two weeks. With proper technique and individualized dosing, Jeuveau results can last three to four months, depending on metabolism, muscle activity, and lifestyle factors.

At CK Plastic Surgery, patient education and collaborative planning are central to every injectable treatment. Dr. Kim discusses realistic expectations, long-term maintenance strategies, and complementary aesthetic options to ensure results align with each patient’s goals. This commitment to expertise, transparency, and patient-centered care reflects the clinic’s reputation for delivering refined, natural-looking injectable results.

Recovery & Risks

Jeuveau is considered a safe and well-tolerated injectable when administered by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon. At CK Plastic Surgery, Dr. Charles Kim follows strict safety protocols and evidence-based injection techniques to minimize risks and optimize outcomes.

Common, temporary side effects may include mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects typically resolve within a few hours to several days. Some patients experience a mild headache or sensation of tightness in the treated area during the initial adjustment period.

Rare but potential risks include asymmetry, eyelid drooping, eyebrow heaviness, or unintended muscle relaxation. These complications are uncommon and are significantly reduced through precise dosing, proper anatomical knowledge, and conservative injection strategies. Dr. Kim carefully evaluates facial muscle balance to avoid overcorrection and maintain natural movement.

There is minimal downtime associated with Jeuveau treatments. Most patients return to work and normal activities immediately following their appointment. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure, alcohol consumption, and lying flat for several hours after treatment to reduce the risk of product migration.

Results typically begin to appear within three to five days, with full effects visible by approximately two weeks. The longevity of results varies but generally lasts three to four months. Regular maintenance treatments can help prolong results and prevent wrinkle progression.

Dr. Kim provides personalized post-treatment guidance and follow-up recommendations to ensure optimal recovery and satisfaction. This transparent, patient-first approach reinforces CK Plastic Surgery’s commitment to safety, trust, and long-term aesthetic success.
