Jeuveau injections are a popular, nonsurgical cosmetic treatment designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly frown lines between the eyebrows. Often referred to as “newtox,” Jeuveau uses a specialized form of botulinum toxin to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles, smoothing wrinkles and creating a refreshed, youthful appearance. This quick, minimally invasive treatment delivers noticeable results within days, with effects lasting up to 3-4 months. Ideal for anyone looking to achieve a naturally smooth and rejuvenated look, Jeuveau is a fantastic option for those seeking a boost in confidence without surgery.
Jeuveau
What is Jeuveau?
You know those pesky little wrinkles between your eyebrows that won’t go away? Well, they’re called glabellar lines, also referred to as “frown lines” or “elevens.” Jeuveau is a prescription injectable treatment that works to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines in adults.
How does Jeuveau work?
Jeuveau is a popular wrinkle treatment that is injected in the muscles that cause frown lines to form. Jeuveau prevents your nerves from telling your muscles to flex or contract.
This process smooths the appearance of “dynamic” frown lines — like the ones from years of frowning at your phone. The effects can last for up to 4 months while the muscle activity gradually returns.
Benefits of Jeuveau:
- Reducing and preventing facial wrinkles
- Correct facial asymmetry
- Prevent migraines
- Stopping excessive sweating
The RHA® Collection
Your face is dynamic—making millions of movements. Repetitive movements like laughing and talking create facial lines called dynamic wrinkles and folds.
Because these areas are mobile, treating facial lines can be difficult. Sometimes fillers can make the treated area look stiff and unnatural when the face is moving.
The RHA® Collection is different.
It is designed to be resilient enough to adapt to your dynamic facial movements for a look that’s beautiful at rest and flawless in motion.
Your skin naturally contains hyaluronic acid (HA), which provides moisture, volume, and structure that help it appear smooth and refreshed. Your skin produces less HA over time as we age.
These long-lasting fillers can last up to 15 months in dynamic wrinkles and folds and 1 year in lipstick lines.
The RHA® Collection uses a gentle manufacturing process to help preserve the natural structure of HA—allowing it to more closely resemble the HA in your skin—for clean beauty.
Kybella®
Say goodbye to the double chin with Kybella injectables. This FDA-approved treatment targets stubborn fat beneath the chin, effectively contouring and sculpting your jawline without surgery. Kybella’s active ingredient, synthetic deoxycholic acid, breaks down fat cells, allowing your body to naturally eliminate them over time. With just a few sessions, you can achieve a more defined profile and enjoy long-lasting results. Regain your confidence and redefine your facial contours with Kybella injectables, the non-invasive solution for a sleeker, more youthful appearance.
What is Kybella and how does it work?
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment for reducing submental fat, commonly known as a “double chin.” It contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells, leading to a noticeable reduction in fullness and a more contoured jawline.
What are the benefits of Kybella injections?
- Non-surgical alternative: Kybella offers a non-surgical solution for reducing submental fat, avoiding the need for invasive procedures like liposuction.
- Customizable treatment: Each Kybella treatment session is tailored to the individual’s specific needs and desired results, allowing for a personalized approach to chin contouring.
- Permanent fat reduction: Once destroyed, fat cells cannot regenerate, so the results of Kybella injections are typically long-lasting, providing a permanent improvement in the appearance of a double chin.
- Minimal downtime: Kybella injections are performed in-office and typically involve minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities shortly after treatment.
Is Kybella safe and suitable for everyone?
Kybella is generally safe for healthy adults who are bothered by submental fullness. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It’s essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if Kybella is the right treatment option for you and to discuss any potential risks or contraindications.
How many Kybella treatments are needed, and when will I see results?
The number of Kybella treatments required varies depending on factors such as the amount of submental fat and the desired level of chin contouring. Most patients undergo a series of treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, with an average of 2 to 4 sessions recommended for optimal results. Visible improvements are typically seen within a few weeks after each treatment, with gradual fat reduction and chin contouring over time.

Are Sculptra injections painful?

Additionally, Sculptra is often mixed with lidocaine, a numbing agent, to enhance patient comfort during the injection process.
How many Sculptra treatments are needed, and when will I see results?
The number of Sculptra treatments required varies depending on the individual’s aesthetic goals and the extent of volume loss or facial aging. Most patients undergo a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, with an average of two to three sessions recommended for optimal results. While some improvement may be visible shortly after treatment, the full effects of Sculptra typically develop gradually over several months as collagen production increases.
Xeomin®
Frown lines form when facial expressions are made as the muscle under the skin contracts. Over time, as your skin ages, these repeated expressions cause lasting frown lines. Neurotoxins, such as Xeomin®, are prescription medications that block the release of chemicals that cause these muscle contractions so frown lines are softened.
What are the benefits of Xeomin®?
Xeomin® injectable offers several advantages such as:
- Quick treatment, easy to fit into any schedule
- No downtime
- Minor, temporary side effects…if any
- Procedure does not appear ‘frozen’ or fake
- Subtle improvement, without signs you have ‘had work done’
- Proven safe and effective
Better or worse than Botox®?
Xeomin® is the first one that does not need to be refrigerated before use, which may simplify distribution. Xeomin® is also has no additives, just botulinum toxin type A. This may mean that there is less risk of developing antibodies against Xeomin® than other available neurotoxins. The body develops antibodies in response to a foreign invader and attacks. In theory, antibodies could prevent a neurotoxin from having its desired effects. The effects of Xeomin® occur within one week, and the results last from three to six months, making it comparable to Botox in terms of both onset and duration of action. Xeomin® should not be used interchangeably with other botulinum products.
Is Xeomin® safe?
Xeomin® is an FDA-approved product that is safe when injected by a properly trained, experienced injector. As with all medical treatments there is a certain degree of risk. On consultation your Strella professional will review all adverse reactions and or risk.

What are the features & benefits of BellaFill®?
Bellafill’s tiny, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres are suspended within a base of smooth collagen gel. Once injected, the collagen gel immediately reduces the look of smile lines.
