Allergan Botox Training

By Therese Goodwint


Cosmetic surgery has developed to offer various treatment types for skin rejuvenation and skin health restoration. Botox injections are one such method that is now used in practice on a daily basis.

Of all the botox preparations available today, the most popular one is probably Allergan botox. Training needs to be undertaken in order to be licensed to administer it however, as there are certain important aspects that need to be recognised. Let's look at these training requirements.

1. Basic anatomy

Facial cosmetic purposes is what Allergan botox is used for. It is injected using small needles into the muscles of the face and in the skin, allowing for muscle relaxation and reduction in the number of wrinkles in the skin. In order to perform these injections, it is essential to understand the complex anatomy of the face including the muscles, nerves and blood vessels that are present under the skin. Excellent results will be produced with accurate treatments.

In addition, Allergan is employed for a range of conditions such as strabismus (commonly called squint), blepharospasm (spasticity of the muscles of the eye), hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and spastic muscles of the hand, so it is important to also know the anatomy of these body parts. The relevant anatomy should be taught, and courses should be clear about what aspect of Allergan botox use they are discussing. It might not be possible, but training can be centred on anatomical demonstrations using cadavers or specimens. Of course, 3D animation can also be used to explain muscle and nerve anatomy. Another important discussion point is newer indications such as migraine.

2. Risks and benefits

The Allergan botox provider needs to have a sound knowledge of the benefits and risks of botox injections, as is the case with any treatment. It is also essential to learn how to manage any complications - should they arise - so training does not just end with the knowledge of these. Any Allergan botox training course should go over this in depth.

3. Regulations and rules

Procedures performed by a healthcare professional are regulated by standards and guidelines. Non-medical personnel may not be able to obtain a license for Allergan botox in some states. Courses need to discuss this in detail so that providers can avoid malpractice lawsuits and litigation.

Conclusion

The uses of Allergan botox injections are a bit broader than other botox preparations. To ensure that benefits, risks, procedural strategies, and rules and regulations are all covered, training programs should be structured around each of its uses or all of its uses.
