Nuceiva®

Summary Content

Nuceiva® is a next-generation neuromodulator designed to smooth dynamic facial lines and restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Approved by Health Canada, Nuceiva® works similarly to other botulinum toxin type A injectables by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause expression lines, such as frown lines (glabellar lines), forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet.

What sets Nuceiva® apart is its high purity and fast onset of action—many patients begin to see visible improvements within just a few days. The treatment is quick, virtually painless, and requires no downtime, making it a convenient option for those seeking subtle, natural-looking results with minimal disruption to daily life.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, Nuceiva® is expertly administered by trained professionals who assess your facial anatomy and customize each treatment to your individual goals. Whether you're looking to prevent the early signs of aging or soften existing lines, Nuceiva® offers a safe, effective, and targeted solution.

Results typically last up to 3–4 months, with regular treatments helping to maintain a smoother, more relaxed appearance over time. With Nuceiva®, you can enjoy refreshed, youthful skin with precision and confidence—delivered by the trusted team at Rejuvenation Dermatology.

What is Nuceiva®?

Nuceiva® is a botulinum toxin type A injectable neuromodulator, designed to temporarily relax facial muscles and smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive expressions. Approved by Health Canada, Nuceiva® is primarily used to treat frown lines (glabellar lines) between the eyebrows, but it can also be used to reduce forehead lines and crow’s feet.

Similar in function to other well-known neuromodulators, Nuceiva® works by blocking the nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions, allowing the overlying skin to relax and appear smoother. Its high purity and refined formulation make it effective and fast-acting, with visible results often appearing within just a few days after treatment.

Nuceiva® is ideal for individuals seeking a non-surgical, minimally invasive solution to reduce the visible signs of aging while maintaining a natural and expressive look. Treatments are quick—usually 10 to 20 minutes—and require little to no downtime.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, we use Nuceiva® to provide personalized, precise facial rejuvenation, helping patients achieve refreshed, youthful results with confidence and care.

  • Smooths Dynamic Wrinkles
    Nuceiva® effectively softens expression lines such as frown lines (glabellar lines), forehead creases, and crow’s feet by relaxing the underlying facial muscles.
  • Fast-Acting Results
    Patients often begin to see visible improvements within 2 to 3 days, with full results typically developing within 7 to 14 days.
  • Natural-Looking Appearance
    When administered by skilled professionals, Nuceiva® preserves natural facial movement while reducing signs of aging, ensuring a refreshed—not frozen—look.

    Results typically last 3 to 4 months, with consistent treatments helping to maintain smoother skin and potentially reduce the depth of wrinkles over time.

What Conditions Can Nuceiva® Address?

Nuceiva® is a specialized neuromodulator treatment designed to target and reduce the appearance of dynamic facial wrinkles—those caused by repetitive muscle movement. At Rejuvenation Dermatology, Nuceiva® is used to effectively address the following conditions:

  • Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines)
    Vertical lines between the eyebrows that appear when frowning or concentrating. Nuceiva® relaxes these muscles to smooth the area and prevent deepening of the lines.
  • Forehead Lines
    Horizontal lines across the forehead caused by raising the eyebrows. Treatment with Nuceiva® softens these creases, creating a more relaxed and youthful appearance.
  • Crow’s Feet
    Fine lines that form around the outer corners of the eyes when smiling or squinting. Nuceiva® reduces their visibility while maintaining natural expression.
  • Bunny Lines
    Small wrinkles that form on the bridge of the nose when scrunching the face. These can also be minimized with targeted Nuceiva® injections.

Preventative Aging
Younger patients are increasingly using Nuceiva® to prevent the formation of static wrinkles by minimizing muscle movement early.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, we provide customized Nuceiva® treatments to help you achieve smoother, younger-looking skin while maintaining facial harmony and natural movement.
