You cannot stop the aging process, but you can do it gracefully and confidently! At our Okanagan skin clinic, our incredible team of Registered nurses can provide you with customized Nuceiva® treatments to suit your lifestyle and aesthetic goals, and help you achieve natural-looking anti-aging results.
Nuceiva® wrinkle relaxers work by targeting the muscles beneath the wrinkles and reducing the activity of these muscles and thereby smoothening out any unwanted frown lines and wrinkles. During a comprehensive consultation with one of our skin experts, they will identify certain points of injection in order to produce the most successful outcome.
At Okanagan Skin Care Centre, we offer the best skin care services throughout the valley. Our staff consists of Registered Nurses and our Botox®, Nuceiva®, and other minimally invasive cosmetic treatments are safe, long lasting, and effective.
Duration of Treatment: Although this may vary depending on the size and location of the treatment area, a Nuceiva injection should typically take 10-20 minutes.
Number of Treatments: Results can be maintained by reinjection every 3-4 months before the effects of the prior treatment wear off.
Results: You may experience some mild, but temporary side effects, such as nose/throat irritation or injection site pain. Some patients begin to notice results as early as 2-3 days after the treatment, but it may take up to 14 days for the full effect to be appreciated.
At our Kelowna skin clinic, we are committed to providing all our patients with exceptional cosmetic treatments and care to ensure that you receive the most satisfying, safest, and longest lasting results from your anti-aging treatments, such as Nuceiva®.

Nuceiva® targets the muscles underneath the wrinkles and blocks release of the neurotransmitter, temporarily reducing the muscle activity and smoothing the appearance of frown lines, crows feet and forehead lines.
This cosmetic treatment is administered through small injections under the skin and while they may cause some minor discomfort, they are otherwise not painful. Our skin care specialists will do everything they can to ensure you stay comfortable during the treatment.
This treatment is well-suited for a number of patients but you should NOT use this treatment if you:
Are breast-feeding, pregnant, or planning to get pregnant
Have a cow’s milk allergy
Have any pre-existing neuromuscular disorders
Are under the age of 18
Suffered any previous reaction to Botox or Botox products
Have an infection at the treatment site
Each individual case is unique, but you can expect to see a significant reduction in the appearance of frown lines and forehead wrinkles with as little as one treatment. Often, you’ll notice results within 2-3 days of the procedure, but it can take up to 2 weeks for the full results to be enjoyed.
