If you’ve heard about Jeuveau, you might wonder: does it hurt?
At Kerin MedSpa & Laser Center, we prioritize your results and experience. Our goal is to ensure that every step of your Jeuveau treatment feels smooth, reassuring, and tailored to your needs.
Here’s what to expect from your appointment, how Jeuveau feels, and how we help minimize any discomfort along the way.
What Jeuveau Feels Like
Jeuveau is an advanced neuromodulator that relaxes facial muscles, softening fine lines and expression wrinkles on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes.
Most patients describe the Jeuveau pain level as very mild. The treatment involves a few quick injections using an ultra-fine needle. You may feel:
- A light pinch at the injection site
- Slight pressure or a subtle sting that lasts only a second
- A feeling of tightness or minimal tenderness afterwards
The entire procedure typically takes just 10 to 15 minutes, with most individuals returning to their day immediately.
How to Prepare for a Comfortable Treatment
A little preparation can make your experience even more relaxing. For our Jeuveau New York patients, here are a few simple steps to take before your appointment:
Avoid Blood Thinners
Before your appointment, try to avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E. These can increase the likelihood of bruising at the injection sites. It’s also a good idea to limit alcohol intake at least 24 hours beforehand.
If you’re unsure about any medications you’re taking, feel free to discuss them with our team during your consultation.
Communicate with Your Provider
Before your treatment begins, Dr. Michael Kerin will take time to understand your aesthetic goals, review your health history, and answer any questions you may have. If you’re feeling anxious or have a low tolerance for discomfort, let us know.
While most patients find Jeuveau injections very tolerable, we can apply a topical numbing cream to make the process even more comfortable if needed. Your comfort and confidence are always our priority.
Stay Hydrated and Well-Rested
Hydration plays an important role in skin health and healing. Be sure to drink plenty of water the day before and the morning of your appointment.
Getting a good night’s sleep beforehand can also help you feel more relaxed and support your body’s natural ability to recover.
Arriving in comfortable clothing and giving yourself a little extra time before your appointment can also reduce any unnecessary stress.
Aftercare: Keeping Discomfort to a Minimum
Post-treatment, you may experience light redness or slight swelling at the injection sites—this is temporary and usually resolves within a few hours.
To ensure the most comfortable recovery:
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the area
- Remain upright for at least four hours after treatment
- Skip intense workouts for the rest of the day
- Apply a cool compress if needed
You’ll begin to notice the softening of lines within three to five days, with full results visible in about seven to 10 days.
