I became a doctor to help people and provide the best treatments that I possibly could, and so I was excited when I was able to get some samples of Jeuveau, as it’s an alternative to the standard of Botox. I am however very dissappointed with the product and the company behind it. I was initially going to publish my results on Facebook, but after seeing the harassment that others received from publishing similar negative results, I desided to publish this anonymously. I am worried that Evolus’s legal team will be able to trace this back to me, but I do believe that the people who have been harassed and bullied by this company should have their voices heard.

Lies

Evolus promotes Jeuveau as a replacement for botox. In one doctors review he claimed it would last up to 14 weeks and kick in much faster. My own experience said otherwise. Admittedly jeuveau kicked in much faster (within 12 hours) but lasted only 5-7 weeks, while botox kicks in within 72 hours but lasts for 12-14 weeks. Jeuveau may be a quickfix but it is no replacement for botox. I would reccomend this jeuveau for people who needed temporary photogenic qualities for events like weddings but never for long term therapeutic patients.

Their Harassment

It was after doing some research and finding the level of harassment that Evolus participates in that I desided to publish anonymously. Seeing people being threatened with “harassing text, phone calls from the company attorney, [and] trolling on our sites” (https://www.instagram.com/p/B2fgbKDBCmh/) does not provide me much faith in having my negative statements accepted by this company. Look at what happened when this person published their results and was harassed by Evolus:

And this person wasn’t the only one.

Good professionals that just want to express their opinions on this new alternative to botox. Evolus is in effect trying to suppress our professional opinions. If their product was as good as their competitions, or if the company valued the patients treated with their products, they would try to fix problems, not attack the people raising questions.

Their Peddlers

I am usually suspicious when a product that is not as effective as its competition is promoted so heavily by some doctors. So I asked my accountant to see if they could find out if some of these doctors have a stake in Evolus that they are not disclosing. When I was told that Evolus has a parent company called Strathspey Crown and was sent a link of the companies leadership, I was sadly not surprised. Almost all of the people promoting Jeuveau where tied to this company. If this is not a conflict of interest, I don’t know what is. One of the first people that I notised promoting this product was a “doctor” named Alan Larsen. He has hosted several launch parties for Jeuveau.

How can you trust a doctor, who you expect will give you the best treatment and care possible, when they promote and try to sell a product that they have a financial stake in. And he is far from the only one who has a financial stake and is peddling this product that I found. Douglas Senderoff, another doctor who promotes Jeuveau, also appears to have been at the closing bell ceremony on the NASDAQ stock exchange supporting Evolus.

Cancun Launch Party

To make matter worse, many of the doctors promoting Jeuveau went to a launch party for the product in Cancun. This normally wouldn’t be a big deal, except this did not appear to be a standard launch party. It was so ridiculous and controversial that the New York Times released an article about the event. I will let you deside. Do the following pictures look like the people accurrately disclose the fact that they are partners, required by FTC regulations for endorsement, at Strathspey Crown (Evolus’s parent company) and that the trip was payed for by the company?

“Newtox”

Overall, this product does not appear as effective as other, similar ones, already on the market. The threat of harassment for publishing any negative comments mixed with the sketchy relationships that the doctors who promote this product have with Evolus’s parent company makes this company dangerous for both doctors who want to try a new product, and the patients who are being promoted a product that is subpar for what they are expecting.
