Neuronox 100 – Trusted Botulinum Toxin Type A for Aesthetic and Medical Applications
1. Overview & Manufacturer
Neuronox 100 is a botulinum toxin type A product manufactured by Medytox Inc., one of South Korea’s leading biopharmaceutical companies. Recognized globally for its quality, safety, and cost-effectiveness, Neuronox is widely used in facial aesthetics and therapeutic neurology, making it a competitive alternative to brands like Botox® (Allergan).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 sodium chloride (NaCl) prior to injection
Manufactured under strict GMP standards, ensuring high purity and low protein content to reduce immunogenicity
3. Mechanism of Action
Neuronox works by blocking the release of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions. This results in temporary relaxation of the targeted muscle, which:
Reduces facial expression lines
Helps reshape muscle contours
Controls involuntary muscle activity
Treats conditions caused by overactive glands or muscles
4. Clinical Advantages
Fast onset of action: Results may begin within 3–5 days post-injection
Effect duration: Typically lasts 3 to 6 months depending on area and dosage
Smooth, controlled diffusion: Ideal for aesthetic precision and natural-looking results

Widely accepted in over 60 countries for both cosmetic and therapeutic indications
