This is the new and fashionable treatment you need to know about – and it’s also 50% less painful than normal Botox
The Juvapen is more precise than traditional Botox and is meant to achieve a more natural look - we test it to find out
IF you’re unhappy with your looks but not sure a full-scale facelift or nose job is for you, non-surgical procedures are on the rise.
Fabulous' Editor Sinead McIntyre, 44, tests out one of the most popular new 'tweakments': The Botox pen.
The Botox pen
Like the idea of Botox but don’t want to look like a deer caught in headlights? Juvapen is the answer.
Unlike traditional needles, where practitioners control the dosage and may use too much, they can set this mini-motorised syringe to the exact required dose of Botox, which achieves a more natural look.
“The tool allows lines to be softened while maintaining movement in the face,” says Dr Jules Nabet.
Injecting Botox is an art form, and some practitioners are better than others – bad Botox is the kind that you notice, whereas Juvapen’s is almost undetectable.
But the benefits don’t end there – it’s also 50% less painful, because the needle is smaller, and you’re less likely to bruise, too.

Sinead gives her verdict: “My face bears testimony to not using enough sunscreen and frowning a lot.
The result? Lines on my forehead and crinkles beneath both eyes.
I never fancied Botox because I worried I’d end up with a frozen forehead, but this offers a more natural finish.
It took 15 minutes and only stung a little.
Within 24 hours I’d noticed a difference, and three days later the lines around my eyes had also significantly faded.”
