What is the average cost of Jeuveau®?

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the average cost of a BoNT-A injection procedure in 2019 was $408. It is important to note this number reflects a general cost estimate based on cost per unit of Jeuveau®, the provider’s time, and the location of the facility. For candidates considering Jeuveau®, the total cost of the cosmetic procedure will be largely determined by the number of Jeuveau® units used which is specific to the area being treated.

• Price Range for Jeuveau®: $200 - $1,800

‘Botox’ has been a catch all term for cosmetic botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injections since 2002 when it was first approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the cosmetic treatment of glabellar lines. In reality, Botox® (onabotulinumtoxina) specifically refers to the formulation created by Allergan, which is estimated to encompass about 80 percent of the BoNT-A injection market. Competitors include Dysport®, Jeaveau®, and Xeomin®.

The latest entrant to the BoNT-A market, Jeuveau® (prabotulinumtoxinA) by Evolus, was FDA approved for cosmetic indications in 2019 following the completion of clinical trials. It is targeted to millennials and touts a price 20 to 30 percent less than Botox®.

Factors to Consider in the Total Cost of a Jeuveau® Procedure

What affects the cost of Jeuveau®?

The cost of a Jeuveau® treatment is influenced by a myriad of factors. The actual cost of the Jeuveau® units, the time of the injector, the body area being treated, the desired results, your geographic location, and the supplies used during the injection all affect cost.

It is also important to remember that Jeuveau® offers temporary results that can only be maintained with consistent sessions. For example, if your crow’s feet procedure costs $275 and maintenance is needed every four months, your cost per year to maintain results will be $825.

Many providers and facilities have discounts, special offers, and/or rewards programs for regular Jeuveau® patients to reduce the financial impact of upkeep. Looking into the programs and incentives in your area can help to lower costs.

The table below reviews the areas typically treated with Jeuveau® with average price per session.

You might be wondering what those cost ranges actually include. The price of Jeuveau® is most easily understood by the number of units needed for the desired cosmetic result. In the U.S., Jeuveau® units typically cost $8 to $16 each. This is less expensive than Botox®, which ranges $10 to $20 per unit. Numerous Jeuveau® units will be required at each injection site and varies by individual.

Besides the actual cost of the Jeuveau®, there will be additional charges for the provider’s time, the supplies used during the injection (gloves, needles, anesthetics), and, in some cases, facility fees. Also of note: The price ranges reported above are per session costs, and maintenance treatments will be needed for upkeep. But don’t be discouraged! Depending on your provider and facility, there may be incentive programs to reduce costs for regular Jeuveau® patients.

It’s worth repeating: The best way to think about Jeuveau® cost is by the number of units needed.

Does insurance cover the cost of Jeuveau®?

Insurance coverage is confusing. When it comes to the combination of health insurance and plastic surgery, things are even more confusing. We’re here to help. It’s generally understood cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance. This is most often true, although certain cosmetic procedures that provide medical benefits for documented conditions could possibly be covered. Definitions from the American Medical Association (AMA) can help to further clarify:

• Cosmetic Surgery: Reshapes normal structures of the body in order to improve appearance and self-esteem.
• Reconstructive Surgery: Alterations to abnormal body structures caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors, or disease.

Jeuveau® is not a surgery, and it does not have FDA approval for any medical conditions. It is only approved for cosmetic use (although it has some off-label uses), so we’ll keep it simple: Jeuveau® will not be covered by your insurance provider.
