What Makes Us Think Azzalure Is Perhaps The most Powerful Toxin? Azzalure, formerly known as Dysport, was approved solely for the treatment of medical conditions such as cerebral palsy, facial tics, and strokes. It is now, however, allowed to use for cosmetic purposes. Botulinum toxin, a protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacteria, is used in both treatments. Botulism is an uncommon food poisoning illness that can be induced by consuming too much protein. In small doses injected into the face, it simply prevents a chemical that instructs the muscles to contract. By avoiding frowning, the wrinkles caused by these expressions are effectively smoothed out. Wrinkles can be filled, lips can be plumped, gummy smiles can be relaxed, crow's feet can be removed, and even hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) can be treated.

In this week's blog, we explain why we believe Azzalure is the greatest toxin for use in our therapies at Aesthetics By Silvie.
