When treated with Botox/Nuceiva, a tiny amount of the neuromodulator product is injected into one or more of the dozens of muscles that control facial expression. The Botox/Nuceiva works to relax the muscles by blocking the nerve impulse from reaching that specific area, causing the muscle to relax and the wrinkles to fade.

The purified protein will work its way into the nerves in the treated areas and you will begin to feel and see some changes in about 3 days. The full effect will be apparent after 2 weeks. 

Over time the treated muscles can “learn” not to make the facial expression that caused the wrinkle, resulting in a long-lasting effect.
