What is Allergan Botox?
Allergan Botox is an injectable treatment made from botulinum toxin type A, which is used to target specific muscle areas. It works by temporarily weakening nerve activity and relaxing muscles. This reduces the appearance of wrinkles caused by facial expressions, alleviates excessive sweating, and can help improve muscle tension, such as stiff shoulders or jawline muscles. The effects are typically visible within 2 to 3 days and last for about 4 to 6 months.
How It Works
Allergan Botox is administered in small amounts through a fine needle directly into the targeted muscle areas, specifically the ones that cause wrinkles as well as excessive sweating. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes and does not require anesthesia. Botulinum toxin type A works by temporarily blocking nerve signals, reducing muscle activity, and hence relaxing the muscle. There is typically no downtime, and normal activities like face washing or makeup can be resumed on the same day.
