Several factors contribute to the formation of facial lines. Decreased collagen production, cellular changes, genetics, environmental damage, and sun damage may all play a role. Facial lines are also formed by repeated muscle contractions such as frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows. These facial expressions cause the skin to furrow and fold, which eventually leads to the formation of wrinkles. DAXXIFY® works below the skin's surface to temporarily reduce the underlying muscle activity responsible for moderate to severe frown lines.

You know those pesky little wrinkles between your eyebrows that won’t go away? Well, they're called glabellar lines, also referred to as "frown lines" or "elevens." Jeuveau is a prescription injectable treatment that works to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines in adults.

When injected, Jeuveau temporarily prevents your nerves from telling your facial muscles to flex. The result? In clinical trials, Jeuveau was shown to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines.

The effects can last for up to 4 months while the muscle activity gradually returns.  In clinical trials, Jeuveau was shown to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines. In a study conducted in Europe and Canada, 54% of patients had visible results as early as 2 days after treatment.

Sunscreen ingredients work in two ways: scattering and/or absorbing ultraviolet (UV) radiation to help stop it from reaching the skin.

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. SPF relates to the amount of time it takes for redness to appear on the skin compared to when no product is used at all. The test is done in a laboratory. For example, if it takes 10 minutes for unprotected skin to show redness, then an SPF30 sunscreen correctly applied, in theory, will take 30 times longer or 300 minutes to burn. However, it is hard to achieve this level of protection in real life – factors such as skin type, ultraviolet (UV) levels, swimming/drying and how much sunscreen you apply can affect the level of protection. That's why we always recommend applying liberally every two hours or after swimming, sweating or towel drying. It is also important to apply 20 minutes before being exposed to UV.

Broad spectrum sunscreens offer protection from both UVA and UVB rays, the two types of harmful UV radiation emitted by the sun. UVB is the principal cause of sunburn, but both UVA and UVB contribute to increased skin cancer risk.

Sunscreen should be applied 20 minutes before exposure to UV in order to create the intended protective barrier. It should be applied liberally and evenly to clean and dry skin. For an adult, the recommended application is 5mL (approximately one teaspoon) for each arm, leg, body front, body back and face (including neck and ears). That equates to a total of 35mL (approximately seven teaspoons) for a full body application. Sunscreen should always be reapplied at least every two hours, irrespective of the water resistance of the sunscreen. Swimming, sport, sweating and towel drying can reduce the effectiveness of the product, so sunscreen should always be reapplied after these activities.

Sunscreen should never be used as the only line of defence against sun damage. It is also important to remember that sunburn is caused by UV radiation, which is not related to temperature. Whenever the UV Index is 3 or above, be sure to: *Slip on some sun-protective clothing that covers as much skin as possible. This offers the best protection. *Slop on broad spectrum, water resistant SPF30 (or higher) sunscreen. *Slap on a hat – broad brim or legionnaire style to protect your face, head, neck and ears. *Seek shade. *Slide on some sunglasses
