Nuceiva is the FDA approved treatment for moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead line.
At Skin Medical, we take pride in offering top-tier Nuceiva treatments under the expertise of Dr Sabika Karim.
Nuceiva is a botulinum toxin type A product used for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines (vertical lines between the eyebrows).
This treatment is particularly effective at treating frown lines. Nuceiva works by blocking the nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected. This action temporarily relaxes the muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The treatment is quick, often showing initial effects within two days, and results can last up to four months.
At Skin Medical, Dr Sabika Karim carries out all our Nuceiva consultations and treatments. Every patient begins with a comprehensive consultation to ensure a safe, high-quality treatment.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Sabika will assess your skin type, facial muscle activity, and individual concerns. Your medical history will be reviewed, and a bespoke Nuceiva plan will be developed to ensure you understand the steps before, during and after treatment.
Nuceiva’s effects typically last for up to four months. Patients may require repeat treatments to maintain the desired appearance.
Nuceiva begins to show effects within two days after injection. The majority of patients notice a significant reduction in the severity of their glabellar lines within this time frame.
Yes, Nuceiva is considered safe when administered by a qualified healthcare professional like Dr Sabika. Like all medical treatments, it comes with potential side effects, so it’s important to discuss these in your consultation.
The procedure involves injecting Nuceiva into the targeted facial muscles using fine needles. It is a quick treatment, often completed in a matter of minutes, and does not require anesthesia.
Common side effects of Nuceiva include redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. These are generally mild and resolve within a few days.
Before receiving Nuceiva, you should avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications to reduce the risk of bruising. Your practitioner will provide specific instructions based on your medical history and the areas being treated.
