Botox 100 Units Injection

Product Description

Botox 100 Units Injection, manufactured by Allergan, is a widely used injectable medication containing Botulinum Toxin Type A. It is FDA-approved for both medical and cosmetic purposes and is one of the most trusted treatments for conditions involving muscle overactivity and skin aging.

What is Botox 100 Units Injection?

Botox 100 Units is a prescription-only injectable derived from the purified neurotoxin complex produced by Clostridium botulinum. When injected in small doses, it blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that causes muscles to contract.

By doing this, Botox helps:

• Relax overactive muscles

• Smooth facial wrinkles

• Alleviate chronic medical conditions like migraines and muscle spasms

Botox is a safe, minimally invasive treatment with both therapeutic and aesthetic applications.
