Okay, so there is a new Botulinum Toxin in town! And what if we say that you may even like it better than your regular Botox? Well, that's what you need to test and try at Aesthetics at Silvie. At our clinic, we provide services for both – Botox and Azzalure so that you can choose what's best for you.
So, what's special about this new toxin- Azzalure?
Galderma created the injectable type A botulinum toxin called Azzalure, which is only available by prescription. Azzalure is used to reduce the activity of certain facial muscles; it is used in very small quantities during facial aesthetic operations. This effectively means that Azzalure prevents the treated muscles from moving so that the surrounding skin can relax and smooth out over time, which has the effect of reducing wrinkles.
In addition to the upper third of the face, which includes the areas around the eyes, forehead, and brows, this wrinkle-smoothing procedure can also be used to elevate the corners of the mouth and reduce gummy smiles.
Frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet, or lines that form at the corners of the eyes, are the three treatment sites most frequently mentioned when discussing Azzalure treatments.
And how does it work on your skin?
A neurotoxin designed for cosmetic usage is called Azzalure. Botulinum toxin is a protein that is present in it. It inhibits nerve signals and causes a brief relaxation of the facial muscles when injected into such muscles. This keeps the muscles from creasing or wrinkling, which softens the look of the crow's feet and frown lines.
It's important to remember that Azzalure only works on wrinkles that originate from repeated facial movements like laughing, frowning, or chewing. It doesn't treat sagging skin brought on by gravity's impact or static wrinkles brought on by age-related changes in the skin (reduced collagen synthesis).
This is so that Azzalure can prevent face muscles from contracting after injection. The neurotoxin builds up at the neuromuscular junction (the area between a muscle cell and a nerve cell) and blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter needed to carry nerve messages. Azzalure has the effect of relaxing the muscles and reducing wrinkles in the surrounding skin by inhibiting nerve signals. To preserve the outcomes, the injections must be done on a regular basis because this impact is transient.
What may one anticipate from Azzalure injections? Is there pain?
You should have a clean, makeup-free face when you come in for your Azzalure treatment. Using a sterile needle, your medical aesthetician will clean your skin and administer the injections at specified injection sites in the glabellar and lateral canthal regions. For the majority of patients, the procedure is relatively painless because the injection solution contains an anaesthetic to lessen any discomfort or agony.
How much time does the procedure last?
Azzalure is a rapid and practical treatment that may be used on wrinkles of all severity levels, from mild to severe. It can be finished in 15 to 30 minutes. No downtime or recovery period exists. All regular activities can be resumed right away. As a result, you can schedule an Azzalure treatment for your lunch break.
When will I be able to check Azzalure results?
The effects of Azzalure take two to three days to manifest. The highest effect is evident after roughly 1 month. The outcomes of this procedure are undetectable and appear natural. Since Azzalure's effects typically last three months, the wrinkled look is only temporarily improved. The effects may continue up to six months with regular use. To maintain the benefits, doctors advise repeating the procedure every three months. The precise number of follow-up injections or the length of the treatment interval will depend on how you respond.
