The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Daxxify, a new injected medicine for smoothing facial wrinkles in adults, which dermatologists see as the first major competitor to Botox to emerge in decades.
Does BOTOX or Jeuveau last longer? Both BOTOX and Jeuveau provide effects that last for an average of 3 – 4 months. However, some patients report that Jeuveau tends to last a little longer for them – up to 5 or 6 months – than BOTOX does.
Wrinkle relaxing botulinum toxin type A injections 'neurotoxins' are the most common non-invasive aesthetic procedure in the U.S. While they are commonly called “Botox,” there are actually four different FDA-approved neurotoxins: Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin.
What is Jeuveau, also called Newtox? Jeuveau is a botulinum toxin type A injection used in the treatment of wrinkles. It's also sometimes called the new Botox or “Newtox” for short because it's a new version of the same active ingredient used in original Botox Cosmetic injections.
Comparing the Cost of BOTOX® and Jeuveau
BOTOX® usually costs between $10 and $20 per unit, depending on where you're getting your injections and how qualified your injector is. Jeuveau is expected to cost 20-30% less or about $8 to $16 per unit.
Glabellar lines usually require 15–25 units, whereas the forehead usually requires 10–25 units, Weiss said. Crow's feet or the periorbital area can require 20–24 units, said Weiss.
While Botox may take a week or more to be fully active, most patients will be able to see significant results with Jeuveau within two to three days of the initial injections. The full results of this treatment will appear after three to four days.
On average, a Dysport injection will last for about three to four months, while a Botox treatment can last from four to six. While both of them use the same neurotoxin to prevent folds and lines from forming in the skin, they do have minor differences that can affect how long they last.

Dysport diffuses more than BOTOX, Jeuveau, and Xeomin due to the structure of its protein. You can have fewer injections over a larger treatment area like the forehead and around the mouth.
The outcomes of Botox injections commonly begin to wear off after around three months, but the clinical trial found Daxxify lasted at least six months, and in some patients, up to nine months. Daxxify was initially ready for FDA approval in 2020.
Botox can treat facial lines all over your face. These include your crow's feet, smile lines, and even neckbands. With fewer facial lines, your skin becomes smoother and more youthful-looking.
The main difference between the DAXI and Botox (Dysport, and Xeomin) is how long it lasts. “Instead of having your treatment last about three to four months, we've seen that DAXI lasts a lot longer at about six to eight months,” Dr. Katz says.
The price of Jeuveau® is most easily understood by the number of units needed for the desired cosmetic result. In the U.S., Jeuveau® units typically cost $8 to $16 each. This is less expensive than Botox®, which ranges $10 to $20 per unit.
Botox has been used for more than 30 years in the cosmetics industry to treat fine lines, wrinkles, and other related conditions. Recently, Jeuveau has been gaining popularity as another option available that gives similar results. For Jeuveau to be as effective, the same number of units as typical Botox use is needed.
This is often referred to as the frown or “11 lines/elevens.” In the world of Dysport, 3 units are needed for every 1 unit of Botox, Jeuveau, or Xeomin. So that would be 60 units to treat this area.
One of the main reasons that Xeomin is the Botox alternative that celebs love is that they can enjoy the treatment's benefits and still honestly and accurately state that they don't use Botox.
The bottom line. Botox Cosmetic and Jeuveau both work well at improving the look of wrinkles, but Botox is approved to treat more types of wrinkles than Jeuveau. Both can cause mild side effects, and they should both be administered by a trained healthcare professional in a medical setting.
Botox vs.
While cheaper than Botox, it typically it takes twice as many units of Dysport to achieve the same result. According to self-reported reviews on Real Self, that average cost of Dysport is $450 dollars per treatment nationally. Botox injections average at a slightly higher rate nationally at $550 each session.
Dysport is more diluted than Botox, with an almost 3 to 1 split. Based on the location of the injectable, your doctor may need more product to fill one area than another. Of course, it's easy to believe then that Dysport will be much more expensive than Botox, but this is not the case.
Dysport is primarily used for correcting glabellar lines, the frown lines between your eyebrows. Dysport is a great option for those who have moderate to severe frown lines. Botox, on the other hand, can be used to treat many different types of wrinkles, including crow's feet, forehead wrinkles, and laugh lines.
Jeuveau can be used on all skin types, making it a great treatment for people of all backgrounds. It has a similar effect in everyone, as it is injected under the skin into the muscle, bypassing the skin and delivering its effect where the nerves signal muscles to contract.
AFTER your Jeuveau™ appointment:
Avoid alcohol and strenuous activity for at least 24 hours. Physically exertion may diffuse the neurotoxin, causing it to spread to other areas. Avoid rubbing or massaging the skin around the injection site for at least 24 hours, as it may cause the neurotoxin to spread to other areas.
