4. Jeuveau (pronounced Juvo) (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) for injection is made by Evolus and goes by Newtox. Jeuveau is a prescription medicine injected into muscles and used in adults for a short period (temporary) to improve moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). It is not known if Jeuveau is safe and effective for use in children.

Each formulation can vary by the following characteristics:
1. Amount of neuromodulator
2. Units and or concentration of the product
3. Composition
4. Accessory proteins
5. Toxin complex size
6. Molecular weight
7. Biological activity
8. pH
9. Storage
10. Risk of antigenicity
11. Indication for use
12. Geographical distribution
13. Chemical properties
Each FDA approved formulation of BoNT-A has specific indications for reconstitution, limited indications and are not universal worldwide. Each neuromodulator is manufactured differently and has unique characteristics, which makes the products not universally interchangeable. These drug for­mulations are not interchangeable in preparation nor delivery and or efficacy. When treating a patient with four units of Botox, it is equivalent to four units of Xeomin, four units of Jeuveau, and ten units of Dysport

as long as they are reconstituted according to the branded drugs package insert. There is a variety of reconstitution options which can change the for­mula unit by unit.
BoNT-A effect is correlated with the concentration, dose, placement of the product, amount of spread, and is relative to the depth of the procedure and the size and health of the target muscle. The products vary mainly in diffusion and spread; however, efficacy is still being debated. Most literature reports and demonstrates that Botox is still the leader concerning efficacy and longevity. The onset of action is also not universally validated and is mainly dependent on reports by the practitioner and the patient. The patient’s genetics, target muscle size, and thickness, skin condition regarding the thickness or amount of laxity all play a role in the satisfaction rate of BoNT-A. The onset and outcome of treatment are further influenced by the practitioner’s choice of a particular drug, the reconstitution process, placement, depth of injection, and dosing.
Given that BoNT-A is a metalloprotease drug, it is necessary to have an ample supply of zinc at the nerve terminal in order for effect. So, a patient’s zinc level also plays a role in the effect and duration of treatment. There is more to the treatment than just learning injection points. The patient’s over­all health and function are equally as important as understanding where to inject and how to inject. Despite increased public demand for the BoNT-A, the pharmacological understanding of the commercially available products’ differences is still vastly poorly understood.
Surprisingly enough, despite the overwhelming statistics on consumer utilization, there is still some debate on the reconstitution of BoNT-A. The impact of reconstitution has on the denervation process is still debatable. Although well studied, the makers of BoNT-A may have overstated the fra­gility of the product initially with the new research that has since come out after the products received their FDA approval. When the product is recon­stituted with normal saline versus 0.9% benzyl alcohol saline, the patient experiences more discomfort. When the BoNT-A is reconstituted with the preserved saline with benzyl alcohol, the patients experienced less dis­comfort, and it was reported that there was less of an incidence of post­injection infection. Many studies have refuted that the preservatives break down the BoNT-A and that the preserved saline may be a better option. Most injectors around the globe do reconstitute their BoNT-A with the preserved saline over the non-preserved saline. Greater detail will be pro­vided later in the text on how to reconstitute each product properly. All FDA and commercially prepared BoNT-A’s will have a package insert on

History of neuromodulators
In the early 1800s, Justinus Kerner and John Muller first describe botulism. It was referred to as “sausage poison” Then Clostridium botulinum (BoNT) was later isolated by Emile van Ermengem in 1895. Emile was a bacteriologist professor in Belgium who discovered the bacteria after a dinner that caused an outbreak of illness, at which time botulism was identified. Eighty years before the outbreak, there were the beginning rumblings of chatter about food born illness. Botulism received its name due to the Latin word for sau­sage, which is botulus. The name botulus was given because the food that was suspected of causing the outbreak was pork filled sausage. Fast forward to 1946, and at the time, the purification process of onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) occurred. Dr. Edward J Schantz succeeded in purifying BoNT-A in crystalline form cultured Clostridium botulinum and isolated the toxin. In 1950, Dr. Vernon Brooks discovered the toxins’ true potential when he concluded that it prohibited acetylcholine release and thus impeded motor nerve innovation in a hyperactive muscle. In 1980 Dr. Alan B Scott revolutionized the world of ophthalmology with the treatment of strabismus. It was only 9 years later that onabotulinumtoxinA received its first FDA approval. The utilization of onabotulinumtoxinA in strabismus was just one of many FDA approvals; this particular brand would get FDA approval.
The 1989 FDA approval set the stage for many great things to come with this unique and extremely deadly toxin. In 1989, onabotulinumtoxinA received the FDA approval for therapeutic use in Strabismus and Blepharo­spasm and hemifacial spasm in patients younger than 12 years. That same year it was rebranded as Botox, which is the drug name consumers recog­nize. Through expanded research into esthetic uses, Allergan later com­menced clinical trials to study the treatment’s safety and efficacy for moderate to severe frown lines (Allergan, 2020).
Then in 2002, the first treatment was approved for cosmetic use. On 15 April 2002, the FDA approved Botox as a temporary esthetic treatment for moderate to severe frown lines in adults and requested the product be marketed as Botox Cosmetic to distinguish esthetic from therapeutic uses.

It is the first treatment of its kind to be approved for esthetic use in three different areas. Today it is the only product FDA-approved to temporarily make moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines look better in adults (Allergan, 2020). The FDA has approved others; however, Botox is the only one with three cosmetic use indications.

Kingdom since 1994. It was approved for the use of treatment of adults
with cervical dystonia and Glabella region.
2010—US FDA approved onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) to treat spastic-
ity in the flexor muscles of the elbow, wrist, and fingers in adults with
stroke, traumatic brain injury, or the progression of multiple sclerosis.
US FDA announced the approval of incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin) for the treatment of adults with cervical dystonia, to decrease the severity of abnormal head position and neck pain in both botulinum toxin-naı¨ve and previously treated patients and for blepharospasm in adults previously treated with onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox).

Safety of neuromodulators
After seeing how long BoNT-A has been around, it is easy to say it is a well­studied drug and has a proven safety track record. Further understanding, it does not cross the blood-brain barrier and works locally at the peripheral nerve terminal continues to prove its safety in the use of esthetics. However, there is always the risk with the BoNT-A drug in the untrained provider’s hands. Nevertheless, in the hands of skilled and trained injectors, BoNT-A’s are very safe and can bring consumers a lot of joy, control over the aging process, and confidence. The FDA held a 13.5-year review of adverse events with the use of Neuromodulators. Throughout this review, it was identified that there were 36 severe adverse events, six of which were more of a user error (Cote, Mohan, Polder, Walton, & Braun, 2005). During this time, there were no deaths related to the use of neuromodulators. The results con­cluded that 25% of patients would bruise when having their crows feet trea­ted (Cote et al., 2005). 15% of patients will have a headache post-injection (Cote et al., 2005). Very rarely will someone report the headache as severe and debilitating. 3–5.4% of patients suffer from lid ptosis from inadvertent injection into the levator palpebrae. 5% of patients will suffer a lateral tail droop (Cote et al., 2005).
Little nuisances within the injecting craft can make a world of difference
in the outcomes and comfort during the injections. The use of fixed needles to the syringe to gain access to the product is contraindicated as the needle will become blunt very quickly, and then the injections will be more painful and will also cause more trauma to the patient’s tissue, increasing bruising. As trained professionals versed in injection techniques, we can anticipate a bruise and see it as a usual occurrence. The esthetic patient does not see the bruise as a worthy and necessary risk to the treatment. 99% of the patients will expect their injector to penetrate the skin 60 times during treatment and miss every single one of their vessels. Here is an excellent time to remind the reader to correctly set the treatment expectations, duration, and downtime, including bruising. Cote et al. (2005); study demonstrated that only 36 patients in 13.5-year review had an adverse event. However, the adverse
