Botox vs. Jeuveau: Which Is Right for Fort Collins Patients?
When it comes to smoothing fine lines and refreshing your appearance, two popular options stand out—Botox and Jeuveau. At Xanadu Med Spa in Fort Collins, we offer both of these FDA-approved neurotoxins, and many patients ask us: What’s the difference, and which one is right for me?
Understanding Neurotoxins: Botox and Jeuveau Basics
Both Botox and Jeuveau are forms of botulinum toxin type A. They work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles—those formed by repeated facial movements like smiling, frowning, or squinting. This softens the appearance of lines and prevents new ones from forming.
Common treatment areas include:
-
Forehead lines
-
Crow’s feet
-
Frown lines (a.k.a. “11s” between the brows)
What they don’t do is add volume or address sagging skin. That’s where dermal fillers come in—but more on that in a moment.
Botox: The Trusted Classic
Botox has been the gold standard in neuromodulators for over two decades. Known for its reliability, versatility, and proven track record, Botox is a favorite for patients seeking time-tested results.
Benefits of Botox:
-
Excellent for forehead lines and glabellar lines
-
FDA-approved for medical conditions like migraines and TMJ
-
Ideal for patients looking for subtle, controlled refinement
-
Results last approximately 3 to 4 months
Jeuveau: The Modern Alternative
Nicknamed “Newtox,” Jeuveau is a newer option designed exclusively for aesthetic use. Many patients find that Jeuveau kicks in a bit faster than Botox and may feel lighter or more natural in certain areas.
Benefits of Jeuveau:
-
Great for first-time users of neuromodulators
-
Often priced slightly lower than Botox
-
May be ideal for younger patients or those looking for a “fresh” feel
-
Results typically last 3 to 4 months

What Neurotoxins Can’t Do: Enter Dermal Fillers
While Botox and Jeuveau are excellent for smoothing expression lines, they don’t replace volume loss caused by aging. That’s where dermal fillers like Juvéderm and Versa come in.
Fillers are used to:
-
Plump lips
-
Lift cheeks
-
Smooth deeper folds like nasolabial lines
-
Sculpt jawlines or correct under-eye hollows
In many cases, a combination of Botox or Jeuveau + Fillers creates the most natural and youthful results—a strategy known as “full facial balancing.”
