Allergan 50

Botox Allergan 50 – The Gold Standard in Aesthetic Botulinum Toxin

1. Brand & Origin
Botox® Allergan 50 is a botulinum toxin type A product manufactured by Allergan, a leading pharmaceutical company based in the United States. It is the original and FDA-approved botulinum toxin, with a long-standing reputation for safety and efficacy in both cosmetic and therapeutic use.

2. Composition & Packaging

• Each vial contains 50 units of botulinum toxin type A in a vacuum-dried (lyophilized) powder form.

• It must be reconstituted with sterile saline (0.9% sodium chloride) before injection.

3. Mechanism of Action
Botox works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction. When injected into specific muscles, it temporarily relaxes them, leading to:

• Reduction of dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines (glabellar lines), forehead lines, and crow’s feet.

• Facial contouring, including masseter muscle reduction for a slimmer jawline.

• Excessive sweating treatment (hyperhidrosis) in areas like underarms, palms, and soles.

• Medical uses such as treatment for chronic migraine, muscle spasms, and strabismus.

4. Key Advantages

• High purity and consistent results, with a proven safety profile in over 90 countries.

• Visible effects typically appear within 3 to 7 days, lasting approximately 3 to 6 months.

• Precise diffusion allows targeted application with minimal risk of toxin migration.

5. Ideal Candidates

• Adults aged 18 to 65 seeking non-surgical cosmetic enhancement or therapeutic relief.

• Botox 50 is particularly suited for fine adjustments and smaller treatment areas such as around the eyes and between the brows.

6. Storage & Handling

• Store in a refrigerator (2–8°C) before and after reconstitution.

• Must be administered by a licensed and trained medical professional.

Note: Botox Allergan 50 offers the same formulation as Botox 100 but in a lower dose, making it a flexible option for patients with targeted aesthetic goals or first-time treatments.
