Common Questions About Nuceiva

How does Nuceiva work?

Nuceiva is a neuromodulator made with botulinum toxin type A. It temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles, softening dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive expressions.

How is Nuceiva different from Botox®?

Nuceiva provides similar results to Botox® but is marketed as a newer-generation alternative. Both are safe, effective, and FDA- and Health Canada-approved.

How soon will I see results?

Results typically appear within 3–5 days, with full results in about one week.

How long does Nuceiva last?

Most patients enjoy results for 3–4 months before needing a touch-up.

Is Nuceiva safe?

Yes. Nuceiva is both FDA- and Health Canada-approved, with clinical studies supporting its safety and effectiveness.

Will my results look natural?

Absolutely. At Dermis, we take a conservative approach to ensure you look refreshed—not overdone.

What is the recovery like?

Nuceiva requires little to no downtime. Most patients return to their normal activities right after treatment.

Can Nuceiva be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Many patients combine Nuceiva with Dermal Fillers, Radiesse, or PRP for full facial rejuvenation.
