EX TOX 100 – Korean Botulinum Toxin Type A for Precision Aesthetic and Therapeutic Applications
1. Overview & Manufacturer
EX TOX 100 is a botulinum toxin type A product developed and manufactured in South Korea, designed to meet the growing demand for safe, effective, and cost-efficient neurotoxin treatments. As part of the new generation of Korean botulinum toxins, EX TOX has quickly gained attention in the aesthetic market for its high purity, predictable outcomes, and affordability.2. Composition & Packaging
Each vial contains 100 units of Clostridium botulinum toxin type A in lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder form
Requires reconstitution with 0.9% sterile saline (NaCl) before use
Manufactured under strict GMP standards, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade quality and consistency
Low protein content minimizes immunogenicity and reduces the risk of neutralizing antibodies
3. Mechanism of Action
EX TOX functions by blocking the release of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions, which temporarily paralyzes targeted muscles. This leads to:
Relaxation of facial muscles, softening dynamic wrinkles
Reduction of muscle bulk in aesthetic shaping procedures
Inhibition of overactive glands, such as sweat glands in hyperhidrosis
4. Key Advantages
Fast onset of action: Results typically begin to appear within 2–4 days
Effect duration: Lasts approximately 3–6 months, depending on individual metabolism and dosage
Controlled diffusion: Provides smooth, natural-looking results, especially in delicate facial zones
Consistent potency: Ensures reliable, reproducible clinical outcomes
Cost-effective: Offers a competitive alternative to premium brands without compromising safety or efficacy
