Neurotoxins like Botox, Jeuveau are effective at reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles when administered by trained, experienced injectors, like our practitioners, Dr. Kleiman, Dr. Wachal, and Valleri Weyant, PA-C. At Severn River MediSpa, Botox injections are often combined with other non-surgical treatments, such as dermal fillers, chemical peels and laser treatments to provide complete facial rejuvenation.

What is Botox®, and how does it work?
Botox Cosmetic® is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the U.S.
Botox works by blocking the nerve signals, temporarily weakening the muscles in the injected area, and having the effect of relaxing wrinkles and lines. This is usually effective for 3-4 months.It’s FDA-approved for treating crow’s feet (or laugh lines) around the eyes, the creases between the brows (the 11’s) and forehead lines. Botox® Cosmetic injections are a safe way to temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines around the eyes and forehead. Botox® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved substance, originally approved as a medical treatment to control excessive contraction of the muscles around the eyes. Because the patients receiving Botox® Cosmetic for that purpose were experiencing smoother skin and less wrinkling around the eyes, it was discovered that a lower dose of the chemical might be used for cosmetic purposes.
What to Expect with Botox Treatment
BOTOX treatment includes an initial consultation, and an individualized treatment plan to achieve your goals. The treatment takes only a few minutes and is nearly painless. Details about how your BOTOX treatment will be performed will be provided during your initial consultation.
Some bruising and tiny injection marks may occur at the injection site, but these should resolve with ice and our post-injection care kit.
Results are expected within 3 to 5 days after injection, with maximum effect by 2 weeks. It typically lasts up to 3-4 months.
What is Jeuveau?
Jeuveau is a botulinum toxin type A injection used in the treatment of wrinkles. It’s also sometimes called the new Botox because it’s a new version of the same active ingredient used in original Botox Cosmetic injections, and can be a good alternative to Botox.
It works very similarly to Botox. Jeuveau by Evolus is now FDA approved neurotoxin for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults, and is a great choice if you are looking for a more youthful appearance. Jeuveau can also treat forehead lines, crow’s feet, and wrinkles around the mouth.
