Jeuveau vs. Botox vs. Xeomin
At Mindful Med Spa in Boise, we believe in enhancing your natural features — not changing them. That’s why we offer a range of cosmetic injectables tailored to your goals. When it comes to softening fine lines and refreshing your appearance, Jeuveau, Botox, and Xeomin all deliver beautiful results — but they’re not identical. Each has its own formulation, onset time, and subtle differences that may make one a better fit for your skin, lifestyle, and anatomy.
Same Goal, Different Paths
All three injectables work by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles — those created by repeated expressions like frowning, squinting, or raising your brows. The result? A smoother, refreshed look that still feels natural.
While Jeuveau, Botox, and Xeomin all share the same active ingredient (botulinum toxin type A), each brand’s formulation and manufacturing process are slightly different. These differences can influence onset time, diffusion (how far the product spreads), and how long your results last.
Jeuveau
Often called “Newtox,” Jeuveau is the newest of the three and was developed specifically for cosmetic use. Clients often notice a slightly faster onset than Botox, with results appearing within a few days. It’s especially effective for frown lines between the brows and is a favorite among patients looking for a smooth, refreshed look without stiffness.
Botox
The best-known neuromodulator, Botox Cosmetic has decades of proven results and remains a trusted choice for treating forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. Because it’s widely studied and used for both cosmetic and medical applications, many clients feel comfortable choosing Botox as their go-to treatment for consistent, predictable results.
Xeomin
Xeomin stands out for its “naked” formulation — it contains only the active ingredient without accessory proteins. This purity may reduce the chance of resistance (antibody development) in clients who receive neuromodulators regularly. Xeomin typically provides a smooth, natural look and may be preferred for those who’ve used Botox for years and want a clean alternative.
Choosing What’s Right for You
Rather than choosing the “best” injectable overall, we focus on what’s best for you. Some clients respond better to one brand than another, or simply prefer how a certain product feels or lasts. During your consultation at Mindful Med Spa Boise, Dr. Maria Jensen will review your goals, facial structure, and treatment history to recommend the neuromodulator that fits you best.

No downtime: You can resume normal activities immediately after.
Natural-looking results: You’ll still look like yourself—just more rested.
