Those “11” lines between the brows can make you look stressed or tired even when you feel great. Neurotoxin injections are one of the most popular ways to soften them, and there are now several brands to choose from. Jeuveau in Colleyville is one option offered at Advanced Eyelid Surgery Center, and patients often ask how it compares to the names they already know.
What Is Jeuveau?
Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved injectable for temporarily improving the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in adults. It is sometimes nicknamed “Newtox” because it arrived more recently than other brands.
Like other neurotoxins, it works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that create expression lines.
Jeuveau vs. Other Neurotoxins
All of these products work in a similar way, but they differ in formulation and dosing.
- Botox: The most familiar brand, with a long track record.
- Dysport: Tends to spread a bit more, which some injectors like for larger areas.
- Xeomin: Contains no accessory proteins.
- Jeuveau: Focused on frown lines and popular with patients newer to injectables.
Units are not interchangeable between brands, so price per unit is not a direct comparison. Dr. Davis can recommend the product that fits your goals and history.
Getting Jeuveau in Colleyville: What to Expect
- Consultation. We review your goals, health history and any previous injectable experience.
- Assessment. Dr. Davis watches how your muscles move as you make expressions.
- Injection. A few small injections are placed using a fine needle. Most appointments are quick.
- Aftercare. You can typically return to normal activities right away. You may be asked to avoid lying down, rubbing the area or strenuous exercise for a few hours.
Results usually start to appear within a few days and settle over about two weeks. Effects are temporary and often last a few months, though this varies.
Possible Side Effects
Common side effects can include mild redness, swelling, bruising or headache. Less commonly, a brow or eyelid may droop temporarily. Choosing an injector with deep knowledge of eyelid and brow anatomy helps reduce that risk, which is why many patients come to an oculoplastic surgeon.
Who Should Not Get Jeuveau?
Neurotoxins are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for people with certain neuromuscular conditions or allergies to ingredients. Let us know about all medications and supplements before treatment.

Tips for Your First Neurotoxin Appointment
If this is your first time, a little preparation helps. Arrive with a clean face, free of heavy makeup. Try to avoid alcohol and, if your physician agrees, blood-thinning supplements like fish oil for a few days beforehand, since these can increase bruising. Bring a list of your medications and tell us about any upcoming events so we can time your visit. Many patients schedule touch-up visits a few months apart to keep results consistent. It is also helpful to bring photos of how you looked a few years ago, which can guide a natural, conservative plan.
