The Modern Choice for Neuromodulation

Nuceiva (known as Jeuveau in the US and Botulax in Korea) is a highly purified neuromodulator from Evolus Inc., approved by Health Canada. Its 900 kDa formulation with minimal protein additives makes it one of the most refined options available, reducing the risk of antibody formation while delivering consistent, predictable results.

What sets Nuceiva apart is its rapid onset—results visible in 2–3 days compared to Botox's 3–7 days. This faster timeline makes it ideal if you're preparing for an event or simply prefer quicker gratification. Like all neuromodulators, Nuceiva works by relaxing muscles that create dynamic wrinkles, giving you a refreshed, natural appearance.

At Dermis, Elizabeth Lavoie, NP, carefully matches every client to the neuromodulator that best suits their skin, goals, and timeline. Because we carry all five premium brands—Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Letybo, and Nuceiva—your treatment is truly personalized.

Compare All Brands

What other neuromodulators does Dermis carry?

Five brands, one expert.

Elizabeth carries all five neuromodulators so she can match the right product to your anatomy and goals — not default to one brand.

Botox

The gold standard neuromodulator. Predictable results, 3–7 day onset, lasts up to 4 months.

Dysport

Faster diffusion, ideal for larger treatment areas like the forehead. 2–3 day onset.

Xeomin

Pure botulinum toxin with no complexing proteins — lower risk of resistance over time.

Letybo

High-potency Korean formulation at a lower price point. Fast onset, proven results.

Explore All Neuromodulators

How long does Nuceiva last?

Standard Duration

Most clients enjoy full results for 3–4 months. After this window, the botulinum toxin is metabolized and muscle movement gradually returns.

Factors That Affect Duration

Your metabolism, muscle mass, previous exposure, and injection placement all play a role. Some clients see results stretch to 4.5 months; others need retreatment closer to 12 weeks.

Repeat Treatments

If you receive consistent treatments, some providers report results lasting longer over time—likely due to muscle conditioning. Elizabeth can discuss a maintenance schedule tailored to your needs.

Pricing & Planning

We'll help you plan your follow-up appointment at 3 months so you never lose your refreshed look. Pricing is consult-based, and we can discuss package options.

What are the side effects of Nuceiva?

Common & Temporary

Injection-site redness, minor bruising, mild swelling. These fade within hours to 24 hours. Acetaminophen is safe; avoid ibuprofen for 24 hours to minimize bruising.

Rare but Possible

Headache (usually mild), temporary eyelid droop if injected near the brow, or asymmetrical results if placement isn't perfect. These resolve as the product settles or metabolizes.

Serious Side Effects (Very Rare)

Severe allergic reaction, vision changes, difficulty swallowing. These are exceptionally uncommon with FDA/Health Canada-approved products in trained hands. Seek immediate medical attention if they occur.

Elizabeth's Safety Approach

With 18+ years of NP experience, Elizabeth uses conservative dosing and precise placement to minimize risk. She'll discuss your medical history, medications, and allergies beforehand.

Aftercare Reduces Risk

Avoid rubbing the area for 4 hours, stay upright, skip strenuous activity for 24 hours, and don't lie flat for 4 hours post-treatment. These simple steps prevent migration and complications.
