Anti-wrinkle treatment using Botox is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic treatments worldwide. It treats fine lines and also prevents wrinkles from forming. In addition, it gives you a fresher and younger appearance overall. At JECT Clinics, we work with three of the most advanced toxins: Azzalure, Alluzience, and the latest generation of Botox: Relfydess.
All three types of Botox are muscle relaxants with an anti-wrinkle effect. Although these three variants have broadly the same effect, there are important differences in how they are developed, how quickly they work, and how long the results last. Choosing the right type of Botox depends on your treatment goals, wishes, the treatment area, and how often you wish to repeat the treatment.
Botulinum toxin, commonly known as "Botox," temporarily blocks nerve impulses to the muscle, causing the muscle to relax and wrinkles to soften. They all work according to the same principle, but differ slightly in terms of speed of action, sensation, and results. We explain this in simple terms below.
Azzalure is a muscle relaxant that has been used in Europe for many years. It is a powder-based botulinum toxin and is produced with a saline solution. The product is known for its reliability and predictable results. The initial effect is usually visible after three to five days, with the final result visible after approximately two weeks. On average, the effect lasts for three to four months.
Azzalure is often chosen by clients who want a natural look with reliable results. It is an excellent option for classic areas such as the frown lines, forehead, and crow's feet.
This makes Azzalure ideal for clients who want reliable and natural results, or who are undergoing Botox treatment for the first time.
Alluzience is a newer muscle relaxant and is unique because it is the first ready-to-use (liquid) botulinum toxin. Whereas other muscle relaxants must first be prepared by a doctor using a saline solution, Alluzience is ready for immediate use in a precisely measured concentration. This ensures that every treatment is accurate and consistent.
In addition, Alluzience is particularly known for its fast action. Some clients see results within one to two days. The results of Alluzience are smooth but natural. The effect and duration are often slightly smoother and longer than with regular botulinum toxins.
This makes Alluzience suitable for clients who want to see quick results and prefer a sleek but natural look.
Relfydess belongs to the latest generation of muscle relaxants and has been developed with a focus on natural facial expressions and long-lasting effects. The product is designed to soften wrinkles without making the face look tight or "frozen."
The duration of effect of Relfydess is comparable to other high-quality botulinum toxins, but many clients experience:
As with other botulinum toxins, these times may vary slightly from person to person. Factors that influence this include: the degree of muscle activity, the dosage, internal metabolism, and previous treatments with muscle relaxants. After the first treatment, you may notice that the effects of subsequent sessions last longer, as the muscles gradually become accustomed to relaxation.
Relfydess stands out not only because of its long-lasting and natural results, but also because of how the botulinum toxin is developed in the laboratory. Galderma uses PEARL technology for this, which focuses heavily on purity: the botulinum toxin is purified in the lab in such a way that only the functional components are retained. Other unnecessary protein fragments are removed, resulting in a very pure and clean product. Like Alluzience, Relfydess is a liquid variant, which means that the dosage is exact.
This makes Relfydess ideal for clients who want a refined and soft look with long-lasting results.
Azzalure, Alluzience, and Relfydess all work with botulinum toxin and have the same goal: to smooth expression lines in a safe and effective way. The difference is not so much whether they work, but how they work and for whom they are most suitable.
Which muscle relaxant is best for you depends on your face, facial expressions, wishes, and lifestyle. During a personal consultation, our cosmetic doctors will always work with you to draw up a treatment plan that suits your appearance and wishes.
