Botulax 100 IU

Botulax® 100 Units is a prescription botulinum toxin type A injectable manufactured by Hugel Inc. (South Korea). It is formulated to temporarily relax targeted muscles, making it suitable for the treatment of dynamic facial wrinkles and certain approved therapeutic indications. The product is supplied as a sterile, vacuum-dried (lyophilized) powder that must be reconstituted with sterile saline before administration. Botulax should be administered only by qualified healthcare professionals trained in botulinum toxin injection techniques. Botulax 100 Units contains Clostridium botulinum toxin type A and is designed to temporarily reduce muscle activity by blocking the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. This results in relaxation of targeted muscles and smoothing of expression-related wrinkles.
