Jeuveau® in Los Angeles: Wrinkle Injections in Brentwood
Jeuveau® is a prescription botulinum toxin injected into the muscles of adults to temporarily relax the frown lines between the eyebrows, known as glabellar lines, and to soften other wrinkles caused by repeated facial movement. Dr. Kia Shakib, a Board-Certified physician, offers Jeuveau injections in Los Angeles at Skin Spa by Dr. Kia in Brentwood as an alternative to BOTOX® Cosmetic. The practice offers more than one injectable, so you can choose the product that suits you.
Smooth Dynamic Wrinkles with Jeuveau®
At Skin Spa by Dr. Kia in Brentwood, Los Angeles, Dr. Kia Shakib uses Jeuveau®, a purified botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes the small groups of facial muscles behind dynamic wrinkles. Jeuveau is made of the same kind of purified botulinum toxin as BOTOX® Cosmetic. Dynamic wrinkles are the lines that form when you frown, squint, or raise your eyebrows, and they deepen as those movements repeat over the years. When Jeuveau is injected into a muscle, it blocks the nerve signals that tell the muscle to move. The muscle relaxes, and the skin above it smooths out. Jeuveau uses a slightly different form of botulinum toxin than BOTOX Cosmetic, and Dr. Kia helps you decide which treatment will deliver the results you want.

Your Jeuveau® Visit and How Long Results Last
Jeuveau® injections take 10 to 15 minutes, so most patients treat it as a quick visit. The office works to minimize discomfort, and Dr. Kia Shakib may offer a topical anesthetic if you feel uneasy. The injections can cause small areas of swelling, which last 20 to 30 minutes. Results last an average of 4 to 6 months. For longer-lasting benefits, Dr. Kia recommends a second round of injections 3 to 4 months after your first appointment, and repeated injections may gradually train the muscles to stay more relaxed, which helps prolong your results.
Frequently Asked Questions About Jeuveau in Los Angeles
What is Jeuveau and how does it work?
Jeuveau is a prescription botulinum toxin that Dr. Kia injects into small facial muscles to soften the lines that repeated movement creates. It interrupts the nerve signals that make a muscle contract, so the muscle relaxes and the skin above it looks smoother. He places it only where those lines have formed.
How is Jeuveau different from BOTOX Cosmetic?
Jeuveau and BOTOX Cosmetic are both made of purified botulinum toxin, and both temporarily relax the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. Jeuveau uses a slightly different form of the toxin. Because the practice offers more than one injectable, Dr. Kia can walk you through both options and help you choose the one that fits your goals, your concerns, and your comfort level.
What areas can Jeuveau treat?
Jeuveau treats forehead wrinkles, glabella lines (the frown lines between the eyebrows), smile lines, nasolabial folds, and aging skin. Dr. Kia looks at how your expressions create lines and recommends the areas worth treating. You can read more about wrinkles and fine lines and how we approach them.
How long does a Jeuveau appointment take, and does it hurt?
The injections themselves take 10 to 15 minutes. The office works to minimize discomfort, and if you feel uneasy about injections, Dr. Kia may offer a topical anesthetic. Small areas of swelling are common and last 20 to 30 minutes, so most patients can plan the visit around a normal day.
How long do Jeuveau results last?
Expect Jeuveau results to last an average of 4 to 6 months. To keep them going, Dr. Kia recommends a second round of injections 3 to 4 months after your first visit, and over time repeated treatments may help your muscles stay more relaxed. He builds a schedule around how your face responds.
Will Jeuveau make my face look frozen or overdone?
The goal of Jeuveau treatment is cosmetic enhancement without an overdone look, treating the lines that show how your face moves while keeping your expression natural. Dr. Kia has ten years of experience with injectables and tailors Jeuveau to the lines you want to soften. Tell him which expressions matter most to you at your consultation, and he plans your treatment around them.
Who is a good candidate for Jeuveau?
Adults with frown lines, forehead wrinkles, smile lines, or nasolabial folds may be candidates for Jeuveau, which is injected into adult muscles to improve glabellar lines and soften other dynamic wrinkles. Candidacy is confirmed at an in-person consultation with Dr. Kia, where he reviews your health, your concerns, and your goals before recommending treatment.
Can Jeuveau be combined with dermal fillers?
Yes. Jeuveau and dermal fillers can be paired when it suits your goals, because Jeuveau relaxes the muscles behind movement lines while fillers such as JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® add volume. Dr. Kia is trained to administer Jeuveau, dermal fillers, and other injectables, and he recommends the right combination for you.
