Azzalure® is a local muscle relaxant adapted from the botulinum neuromodulator type-A of Dysport® and is specifically designed for use in aesthetic indications. Azzalure is the aesthetic version of Dysport for the European Union member states.

Azzalure is indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines (vertical lines between the eyebrows, or “frown lines”) seen at frown and lateral canthal lines (crow’s feet lines) seen at maximum smile, in adult patients under 65 years, when the severity of these lines has an important improvement in the psychological impact on the patient.

Azzalure® is a Botulinum toxin type A which is a naturally occurring bacterial protein. Tiny doses of this substance are injected just under the skin into the muscles that are treated to reduce wrinkles. It specifically blocks the nerve impulse, allowing these muscles responsible for the excessive contractions that cause wrinkles to relax.

Azzalure should only be administered by physicians with appropriate qualifications and expertise in this treatment and having the required equipment. A vial of Azzalure should be used only for you and only for a single treatment session. The effect of the treatment should be noticeable within a few days after injection.
