Botulax 200 IU

Botulax® 200 Units is a prescription botulinum toxin type A injectable manufactured by Hugel Inc. (South Korea). It is supplied as a sterile, lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder for reconstitution with preservative-free sterile saline prior to injection. Botulax is widely used in aesthetic medicine for the temporary treatment of dynamic facial wrinkles and in selected therapeutic applications involving excessive muscle activity. Botulax should be administered only by qualified healthcare professionals trained in botulinum toxin injection techniques. Botulax 200 Units contains Clostridium botulinum toxin type A that temporarily blocks nerve signals responsible for muscle contraction. This relaxation of targeted muscles helps smooth expression lines and wrinkles while preserving a natural facial appearance when properly administered.
