Description
Azzalure 10 Botulinum Toxin Type A
Description
Azzalure 10 is a high-quality botulinum toxin type A injectable, specifically designed for aesthetic treatments and muscle relaxation. Developed for precision and effectiveness, it temporarily inhibits the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions. By targeting overactive muscles, Azzalure smooths out fine lines and wrinkles, offering a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
This botulinum toxin is widely used in aesthetic medicine and is trusted by practitioners for its ability to deliver natural-looking results. Its formulation ensures effective diffusion into the targeted areas, making it a popular choice for reducing moderate to severe facial lines.

Treatment Areas
Azzalure is used for aesthetic treatments to reduce dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movements. It is particularly effective in treating:
- Glabellar lines – the vertical frown lines between the eyebrows
- Periorbital lines – commonly known as crow’s feet around the eyes
- Horizontal forehead lines – wrinkles that form across the forehead due to facial expressions
In addition to aesthetic applications, Azzalure is also used in medical treatments for conditions related to excessive muscle activity, such as muscle spasms and hyperhidrosis.
How Azzalure is Administered
Azzalure must be injected by a qualified healthcare professional to ensure precise placement and optimal results. The product is delivered directly into the targeted muscles using fine needles, minimising discomfort during the procedure.
The treatment session is quick, typically lasting around 15 minutes, with little to no downtime. Patients can usually resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. The carefully measured dosage ensures that muscle relaxation appears natural, avoiding an overly frozen look.
