Botox®/Nuceiva®
What is it?
Botox®/Nuceiva® injections are popular for reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines. By targeting specific muscles responsible for creating wrinkles, such as those involved in frowning or squinting, Botox®/Nuceiva® can temporarily paralyze these muscles, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
