Summary Content

Nuceiva® is an advanced neuromodulator treatment designed to minimize the appearance of dynamic facial lines and deliver a smoother, more rejuvenated look. Approved by Health Canada, Nuceiva® functions similarly to other botulinum toxin type A injectables by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines—such as forehead creases, frown lines (glabellar lines), and crow’s feet.

What makes Nuceiva® unique is its refined formulation, known for its purity and rapid onset. Many patients begin to notice visible improvement within just a few days of treatment. The procedure itself is quick, comfortable, and requires little to no downtime, making it ideal for those who want effective results without interrupting their routine.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, Nuceiva® injections are delivered by experienced providers who take a personalized approach—carefully evaluating your facial features to develop a treatment plan aligned with your aesthetic goals. Whether you're looking to prevent the first signs of aging or soften more established lines, Nuceiva® offers a reliable, natural-looking solution.

Results typically last three to four months, and with consistent treatments, clients often enjoy prolonged smoothing and prevention of future lines. With Nuceiva®, you can achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance—expertly delivered by the trusted professionals at Rejuvenation Dermatology.

What is Nuceiva®?

Nuceiva® is a botulinum toxin type A neuromodulator injection designed to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles and reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated expressions. Approved by Health Canada, Nuceiva® is most commonly used to treat frown lines (glabellar lines) between the eyebrows, but it is also effective for addressing forehead lines and crow’s feet.

Functioning similarly to other botulinum-based treatments, Nuceiva® works by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. This relaxation allows the skin above to smooth out, reducing the depth and visibility of lines for a more youthful appearance. Known for its high purity and refined formulation, Nuceiva® often delivers noticeable results within just a few days of treatment.

Nuceiva® is an excellent choice for those looking for a minimally invasive, non-surgical way to soften signs of aging while preserving natural facial movement. Sessions typically take just 10 to 20 minutes, with little to no downtime, making it ideal for busy schedules.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, we offer customized Nuceiva® treatments tailored to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Our expert providers deliver precise, personalized care to help you achieve smooth, refreshed, and naturally expressive results with confidence.

Benefits of Nuceiva®

Nuceiva® provides a powerful, non-surgical option for individuals looking to smooth fine lines and rejuvenate their appearance with subtle, natural results. This advanced neuromodulator offers targeted wrinkle reduction and several key benefits:

  • Effectively Softens Expression Lines
    Nuceiva® reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles—including glabellar lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet—by gently relaxing the facial muscles responsible for repeated movements.
  • Noticeable Results—Fast
    Many patients begin to see visible improvements within 2 to 3 days after treatment, with full results typically developing within one to two weeks.
  • Maintains Natural Expression
    Expertly administered injections provide a refreshed, youthful look without compromising your ability to show emotion, helping you avoid the “frozen” effect.
  • Minimally Invasive with No Downtime
    Nuceiva® treatments are quick, well-tolerated, and require no recovery time, making them an excellent option for busy lifestyles.
  • Results That Last
    On average, effects last between 3 to 4 months. With routine maintenance, patients often experience smoother skin and a reduction in the severity of fine lines over time.
  • Consistent, High-Purity Formula
    Formulated with high-purity botulinum toxin, Nuceiva® delivers reliable outcomes and is a trusted solution in aesthetic medicine.

What Conditions Can Nuceiva® Address?

Nuceiva® is a precision neuromodulator treatment that targets dynamic facial wrinkles—those formed from repeated muscle contractions. At Rejuvenation Dermatology, we use Nuceiva® to safely and effectively treat the following concerns:

  • Glabellar Lines (Frown Lines)
    These vertical lines between the eyebrows often appear when frowning or concentrating. Nuceiva® relaxes the underlying muscles, softening the lines and preventing them from becoming more pronounced over time.
  • Forehead Wrinkles
    Horizontal lines that develop from frequent eyebrow raising can give the face a tense or aged appearance. Nuceiva® smooths these lines, restoring a more relaxed, refreshed look.
  • Crow’s Feet
    Fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes, commonly formed through smiling or squinting, are reduced while preserving natural expression and eye movement.
  • Bunny Lines
    Wrinkles across the bridge of the nose caused by scrunching the face can also be treated with Nuceiva®, helping create a smoother overall facial appearance.
  • Preventative Use
    Younger clients are increasingly turning to Nuceiva® as a preventative measure to slow the formation of deeper, static wrinkles by limiting repetitive facial muscle movement early on.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, each Nuceiva® treatment is tailored to your unique facial anatomy and goals—delivering smooth, youthful-looking skin while maintaining your natural expressions and facial balance.
