Héjuebo 100 – Advanced Botulinum Toxin Type A for Aesthetic and Therapeutic Precision
1. Overview & Origin
Héjuebo 100 is a botulinum toxin type A product designed for facial aesthetics and selected therapeutic applications. While relatively new to the global neurotoxin market, Héjuebo is believed to be produced in Asia—most likely China or South Korea—and is positioned as a cost-effective alternative to major international brands like Botox®, Dysport®, or Xeomin®.Its formulation aligns with modern standards for purity, safety, and precision, making it suitable for professionals seeking an affordable yet clinically reliable solution.
2. Composition & Packaging
Each vial contains 100 units of purified botulinum toxin type A in lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder form
Requires reconstitution with 0.9% sterile saline (NaCl) before injection
Produced under GMP-compliant conditions, ensuring quality and manufacturing consistency
Low protein load minimizes risk of immunogenic response (antibody resistance)
3. Mechanism of Action
Like other botulinum toxins, Héjuebo works by blocking acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction. This results in:
Temporary muscle relaxation
Smoothing of dynamic wrinkles
Reduction in gland activity (e.g., sweating)
Improved muscle tone control in therapeutic applications
4. Key Advantages
Consistent clinical performance and high patient satisfaction
Quick onset of action – visible effects may begin within 2–4 days
Duration of effect – typically lasts 3 to 6 months, depending on the treatment area
Smooth diffusion – allows for controlled application and natural-looking results
Cost-effective – suitable for clinics managing high patient volume or offering budget-conscious options
