Key takeaways
Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) and Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) are both neuromuscular blockers used to treat wrinkles, specifically frown lines. However, they have different FDA-approved uses. Jeuveau is only approved for cosmetic use to improve moderate-to-severe frown lines in adults, while Botox has a broader range of uses, including treating overactive bladder, chronic migraines, muscle spasms, and excessive sweating. Both medications are given as injections by a healthcare provider, but Botox is available in more dosage forms for different conditions. Jeuveau is typically injected into the forehead, while Botox can be used in various body areas depending on the condition being treated. Common side effects of both medications include headaches and injection site reactions. Both medications carry risks of serious side effects if the toxin spreads/ Botox has additional side effects and warnings related to bladder and eye conditions since it can be administered for other conditions. Neither medication is available in generic form, which may affect cost considerations.
