Botox 1 Area (Azzalure)

A single-area botulinum toxin injection using Azzalure to reduce dynamic wrinkles in one facial zone such as the forehead, glabella (frown lines), or crow's feet. Treatment takes approximately 20 minutes with results developing over 5-14 days.

Botulinum toxin type A injections remain the most widely performed non-surgical aesthetic procedure worldwide, and DCG Centrum Medyczne uses Azzalure (abobotulinumtoxinA) for targeted treatment of dynamic facial wrinkles. Azzalure is manufactured by Galderma and is the European-marketed equivalent of Dysport, with well-established efficacy data from clinical trials spanning over two decades. A single-area treatment targets one of the three primary upper-face zones: horizontal forehead lines, vertical glabellar lines between the brows, or lateral periorbital lines (crow's feet). The physician assesses facial muscle anatomy and movement patterns before determining precise injection points and dosing. Typical doses range from 10 to 30 Speywood units per area depending on muscle mass and desired effect. The Azzalure formulation has a slightly broader diffusion radius compared to onabotulinumtoxinA, which can be advantageous for treating larger muscle groups like the frontalis. The injection process itself takes approximately 20 minutes including assessment, marking, and the injections. Patients may notice a mild pinching sensation but the procedure requires no anaesthesia. Results begin to appear within 3 to 5 days as the neuromuscular junction blockade takes effect, with full results visible at 10 to 14 days. Duration of effect is typically 3 to 4 months, after which muscle activity gradually returns and retreatment is recommended for sustained results. Post-treatment guidelines include remaining upright for 4 hours, avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and not applying pressure or massage to the treated area for 48 hours. DCG's aesthetic physicians provide a follow-up assessment at 2 weeks to evaluate results and address any asymmetry with touch-up injections if needed.
