Azzalure® (1 x 125 IU)
What is Azzalure® Botulinum?
Azzalure® Botulinum is a treatment designed to address deep frown lines that form vertically between the eyebrows. This botulinum toxin-based solution enhances facial expression, making individuals appear less unhappy and more approachable. Beyond the cosmetic benefits, Azzalure® can boost self-confidence by improving the overall appearance.
How Azzalure® Botulinum Works
Azzalure® contains botulinum toxin type A, derived from the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. This toxin works by blocking nerve signals, preventing the release of chemicals that cause muscle contractions. As a result, the muscles between the eyebrows relax, reducing the appearance of vertical frown lines. The effects are temporary, with treatments typically needed every three months.
When Will Results Appear?
You can start seeing results from Azzalure® within 3 days.
How Long Do Results Last?
The effects of Azzalure® can last up to four months.

- Hemophilia (a blood clotting disorder)
- Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
- Aspiration (food entering the airways)
