Genetoxin 100 – Precision Korean Botulinum Toxin Type A for Safe, Effective Aesthetic & Therapeutic Use
1. Overview & Manufacturer
Genetoxin 100 is a botulinum toxin type A developed by Genetox Co., Ltd., a South Korean pharmaceutical company known for its commitment to producing high-purity, clinical-grade aesthetic injectables.
Genetoxin is formulated for use in both cosmetic wrinkle reduction and therapeutic applications, and is produced in GMP-certified facilities, ensuring international standards of quality, consistency, and safety.
2. Composition & Presentation
-
Each vial contains 100 units of purified Clostridium botulinum toxin type A, in lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder form
-
Requires reconstitution with 0.9% sterile saline (NaCl) prior to injection
-
Designed with low protein load, which helps reduce the risk of neutralizing antibody formation over repeated treatments
3. Mechanism of Action
Genetoxin works by blocking the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. This results in temporary relaxation of the targeted muscles, which:
-
Smooths dynamic wrinkles
-
Softens facial expressions
-
Reduces muscle hypertrophy (e.g., jawline slimming)
-
Helps control excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
-
Can relieve spasms and tension in select therapeutic cases
4. Key Advantages
-
✅ High purity, stable potency – ensures predictable clinical outcomes
-
⏱️ Rapid onset – results typically begin to appear within 2 to 4 days
-
⏳ Long-lasting effects – commonly lasts 3 to 6 months, depending on the treatment area and patient response
-
💉 Smooth, controllable diffusion – ideal for both broad areas (forehead) and delicate zones (crow’s feet)
-
