Overview
Board-certified orthodontist Dr. Saoly Benson offers Las Vegas, NV patients Jeuveau, a modern injectable wrinkle treatment specifically designed for cosmetic use. Often called "Newtox," Jeuveau is a purified botulinum toxin type A that works similarly to BOTOX to soften and reduce dynamic wrinkles and lines throughout the face. Dynamic wrinkles are caused by repeated facial expressions and movements (like laughing, smiling, and frowning) that, over time, make the muscles of the face stay contracted. Jeuveau is specially formulated to target the most common dynamic wrinkles, including frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) and forehead lines. It temporarily relaxes the treated muscles so lines appear smooth while maintaining natural-looking results.

Best Candidates
Jeuveau is an excellent choice if you want a nonsurgical option to improve mild, moderate, or severe frown lines between the eyebrows or forehead wrinkles. Because dynamic wrinkles are created by repeated muscle movements, they may become visible in younger patients and make you appear stressed, tired, or older than you feel. Jeuveau provides effective treatment that addresses these dynamic wrinkles without leaving a "frozen" appearance. Many patients at The Art of Braces notice visible improvements in their appearance within 2-3 days following their procedure, with results lasting 3-4 months.
What to Expect
Jeuveau injections are administered in our clinic following your consultation with Dr. Benson, typically taking around 15-20 minutes. A numbing cream is generally unnecessary because Jeuveau is injected using a fine needle that causes minimal discomfort, but it may be applied if requested. The treatment area will be cleaned and precise injections will be made in the targeted areas, followed with a cold compress to minimize any bruising and swelling. Following your injections at The Art of Braces, you can resume your regular activities, but you should avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours.
Recovery
Following a Jeuveau treatment, you may experience slight redness and swelling at the injection sites, but this typically disappears within a few hours to a day. You should avoid rubbing the treated areas and sleep with your head slightly elevated for the first night. Improvements are commonly noticeable within 2-3 days as the treated muscles relax for a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Your results should last approximately 3-4 months, and maintenance treatments can be scheduled at The Art of Braces to maintain your results.
