Nuceiva

Nuceiva contains Prabotulinumtoxin A, a safe and effective drug for cosmetic purposes. Nuceiva works by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. By relaxing muscles under the skin, Nuceiva prevents certain muscle movements and as a result smooths fine lines and wrinkles.

Nuceiva can be used in a variety of areas including horizontal lines on the forehead, vertical lines between the eyes, and crows feet.

  • We recommend that you book a follow-up appointment for 2 weeks from your treatment - you can book this upon checkout. The purpose of the follow up is to confirm that we have the correct recipe for your initial and future treatments, especially after your first neuromodulator treatment with us. We will take your two-week after photos at this follow up for medical profile purposes.

    Your neuromodulator treatment is a temporary treatment with results lasting approximately 3 months. By consistently receiving neuromodulator treatments, based on your medical professional’s recommendation, overtime the results may last longer than 3-4 months and require fewer units to maintain a similar treatment result.
