A Korean liquid toxin that comes ready to use, with no mixing needed before injection.

Ask the clinic for: 이노톡스 (메디톡스)

Innotox explained

Innotox is a toxin from the Korean company Medytox, the maker of Meditoxin and Coretox. Most toxins arrive as a dry powder that the clinic mixes with saline. Innotox comes as a liquid in a fixed concentration, so no mixing is needed.

How Innotox works

Like other type A toxins, Innotox blocks the nerve signal to the muscle, so it relaxes for several months. Because it is pre-mixed, the concentration is the same in every vial and is not set by the clinic. This can make dosing more consistent. The clinical effect is similar to other toxins.

• Frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet
• People who want a consistent, pre-set concentration
