BOTOX® Cosmetic & Jeuveau® Injections
Fine lines and expression wrinkles are a natural part of life, but they don’t have to define the face you present to the world. BOTOX Cosmetic and Jeuveau offer a proven, minimally invasive approach to softening dynamic facial lines and restoring a more refreshed, youthful appearance, all without surgery or significant downtime.
At Farkas Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa, all neurotoxin injections are personally administered by our board-certified plastic surgeon in Bergen County, New Jersey, Dr. Jordan P. Farkas. Whether you are exploring neurotoxin injections for the first time or seeking a skilled provider to take over your ongoing care, our practice delivers the expertise and personalized attention you deserve.
BOTOX Cosmetic & Jeuveau At a Glance
- Benefits:
- Softens the appearance of dynamic facial wrinkles — including forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow's feet around the eyes — while helping to prevent expression lines from deepening further over time.
- Candidates:
- Well-suited for healthy adults who are bothered by moderate to pronounced expression lines and are seeking a safe, non-surgical solution with little to no downtime. There is no defined age requirement, as both preventive and corrective treatment may be appropriate depending on individual concerns.
- Procedure:
- Small, precise amounts of botulinum toxin type A are administered via ultra-fine needle injections into targeted facial muscles, temporarily reducing muscular contractions that cause dynamic wrinkles. Treatment is typically completed in-office in approximately 15–30 minutes with no anesthesia required.
- Recovery:
- Most patients return to normal daily activities immediately following their appointment. Mild, temporary redness or swelling at the injection sites typically resolves within a few hours, and any minor bruising generally clears within a few days.
- Provider:
- Dr. Jordan P. Farkas is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and personally administers all neurotoxin injections at Farkas Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa. His advanced understanding of facial anatomy and aesthetic proportion can maximize the potential for each treatment to achieve results that look natural, balanced, and refreshed.
What Are Neurotoxin Injectables?
Neurotoxin injectables, most recognizable by brand names such as BOTOX Cosmetic and Jeuveau, are highly purified forms of botulinum toxin type A, a naturally derived protein with a well-established record of safety in aesthetic practice. When introduced in precise, controlled doses into specific facial muscles, these neurotoxins temporarily interrupt the nerve signals responsible for muscular contraction, visibly softening the creases that form from repeated facial expressions over time.
Unlike dermal fillers, which replenish lost facial volume, neurotoxins work at the source, addressing the muscular activity that drives dynamic wrinkles. Both BOTOX Cosmetic (FDA-approved for cosmetic use since 2002) and Jeuveau (FDA-approved in 2019) share the same mechanism of action and deliver highly comparable outcomes. During your consultation, Dr. Farkas can discuss which option best aligns with your individual goals.
What Are the Benefits of BOTOX Cosmetic and Jeuveau?
Beyond reducing existing lines, neurotoxin treatments offer a range of meaningful advantages:
- Visibly smoother skin — softens forehead lines, glabellar frown lines (the “11s”), and crow’s feet around the eyes
- Preventive anti-aging — consistent treatment over time can slow the progressive deepening of expression lines
- No surgery required — achieve facial rejuvenation without incisions, anesthesia, or extended recovery
- Natural-looking results — in experienced hands, neurotoxins can subtly enhance your appearance while preserving authentic facial expression
- Efficient sessions — most appointments are completed in under 30 minutes
- Fully personalized — dosing and placement are tailored to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals
Results typically begin to emerge within three to seven days and reach their peak within two weeks. Most patients enjoy their results for three to four months, at which point a brief maintenance visit can often help sustain the improvements. BOTOX Cosmetic and Jeuveau injections can be effective aesthetic treatments on their own, or they can be combined with additional non-surgical medical spa treatments or even facial plastic surgery options for more comprehensive enhancement.
Am I a Candidate for BOTOX Cosmetic and Jeuveau?
The ideal candidate is a healthy adult bothered by dynamic facial wrinkles who is seeking non-surgical improvement with minimal downtime. Strong candidates generally have visible forehead lines, frown lines, or crow’s feet; realistic expectations about outcomes; no active skin infection in the treatment area; and are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding. During your private consultation, Dr. Farkas will review your health history and address every question before any treatment is recommended.
What Does the BOTOX Cosmetic and Jeuveau Treatment Process Involve?
After your initial consultation, the treatment area is cleansed and, if desired, a topical numbing cream is applied. Dr. Farkas then uses an ultra-fine needle to precisely administer small amounts of the neurotoxin into the targeted muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief, mild pinch. The injections themselves take just a few minutes, and straightforward aftercare instructions are provided before you leave.
Is There a Recovery Process After BOTOX Cosmetic and Jeuveau?
Recovery after BOTOX Cosmetic or Jeuveau injections is typically minimal. Mild redness or small raised areas at the injection sites should resolve within hours, and any light bruising usually clears within a few days. Patients are asked to avoid strenuous exercise, direct heat, and pressing on the treated area for the first four to six hours. Most people return directly to their day following the appointment.
How Much Do BOTOX Cosmetic and Jeuveau Cost?
The cost of BOTOX Cosmetic or Jeuveau injections is individualized based on the areas treated and the number of units required. A precise estimate is provided during your personal consultation with Dr. Farkas, so you are always fully informed before any treatment is scheduled. Once your treatment plan is in place, a member of our team can answer any questions you may have about our accepted payment methods or financing options available for qualified applicants who wish to pay for their treatment over a series of monthly installments.
