What is Nuceiva?
Nuceiva, known as Nabota in South Korea and Jeuveau in the United States, is a botulinum toxin type A formulation designed to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows) in adults. By blocking nerve signals in targeted muscles, it reduces muscle activity, leading to smoother skin.(Dermax)
South Korean Roots and Global Expansion
Daewoong Pharmaceutical's commitment to research and development culminated in the creation of Nabota, marking South Korea's entry into the botulinum toxin market traditionally dominated by Western companies. The product's international journey began with its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2019, making it the first South Korean botulinum toxin product to enter the U.S. market .(대웅제약)
Following its U.S. debut as Jeuveau, the product was introduced to the European and Canadian markets under the brand name Nuceiva. In these regions, Daewoong partnered with Evolus, a California-based aesthetics company, to handle marketing and distribution .

The company's strategic partnerships and commitment to quality have positioned Nuceiva as a formidable competitor in the global aesthetics arena.(Korea Herald)
