If no side effects are experienced during the initial treatment and the injections can be repeated after at least 3 months.

Nuceiva Addresses:

Signs Of Aging, Wrinkles

Purpose: Used medically to treat certain muscular conditions (including migraines, excessive sweating and more). Also used cosmetically to remove wrinkles by temporarily relaxing muscles. A combination of factors can cause facial lines. While cellular changes may be a factor, damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment as well as a reduction of collagen are all factors. Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows may cause the skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines. Nuceiva works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults which help them look visibly smoother.

Results: Smooth out lines that form from repetitive facial movements such as smiling, frowning and squinting.
