Description

BOTULAX is a peripheral muscle relaxant that contains purified botulinum toxin type A (in combination with hemagglutinin) and sodium chloride (excipient). The mechanism of action of the product is based on the ability of botulinum toxin type A to block the transmission of nerve impulses. Intramuscular administration of the toxin disrupts the synthesis of acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter that provides neuromuscular conduction) and leads to temporary paralysis of facial muscles. Reduced facial expression helps to relax the face and smooth wrinkles.

Indications for use:

facial wrinkles in the forehead, interbrow and nasolabial triangle;
blepharospasm (involuntary contraction of the circular muscle of the eye);
horizontal and vertical wrinkles of the neck;
correction of the contour of the lips (botulinum toxin injections can make the lips bend smoother).

The advantages of the product:

Low risk of side effects
Quick effect (decrease in the activity of facial muscles begins three hours after the injection).
The high standards of production quality of the Korean pharmaceutical concern HUGEL Inc.
Worldwide recognition of the product
Excellent patient tolerance
Selective corrective action that determines the preservation of the naturalness of facial expressions against the background of complete correction of facial wrinkles
Sustained therapeutic effect, lasting over time
