Metox 100u is manufactured from GMP process-certified conditions and is acceptable to FDA (USA) and MFDS (Korea) standards. Metox 100u targets selectively SNAP-25 proteins at the neuromuscular junction, preventing the release of acetylcholine so as to stop muscle contractions effectively. Early effects can be observed 3-7 days, optimum 14 days. Indicated for removal of wrinkles (88.7% improvement in frown lines), non-surgical facial contouring (30% masseter thickness reduction), and hyperhidrosis treatment (82% reduction in sweat) enabling patients to have stable results for 3-6 months.
Key Features
- High-purity Type A botulinum toxin: Employs the most advanced vacuum freeze-drying technology to achieve 99.5% purity, significantly reducing allergic reactions.
- Rapid action: Effects are seen within 3-7 days, reach their peak at 14 days, and last for 3-6 months (±10% variation among individuals).
- Broad use: Used for reduction of facial wrinkles, facial slimming, leg slimming, and treatment of hyperhidrosis. Masseter injection reduces muscle thickness by about 25% in 2 months and sustains over 20% reduction at 4 months.
- Safe and consistent: Manufactured under GMP certification, according to FDA (USA) and MFDS (Korea) standards.
Approved Uses
- Facial wrinkle correction: Metox 100u has over 85% wrinkle improvement rate for forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines.
- Facial and leg reduction: Masseter thickness is reduced by an average of 28.6% in 2 months, calf muscle circumference is reduced by 2-4 cm, and the effects last for at least 3 months.
- Treatment of hyperhidrosis: Reduces underarm sweat production by 82% and palm sweat by 74%, with the effects lasting 4-6 months.
- Other clinical applications: Muscle tension for facial spasms decreases by 62%, with relief lasting 4-5 months.
Significant Advantages
- Natural smooth action: 85% of the patients achieve significant wrinkle reduction, and 76% believe the result is more natural without changing expressions.
- Consistent duration: The effects of a single injection remain consistent for 3-6 months, with some patients finding effects lasting up to 8 months.
- Low side effect rate: Side effects appear in only 0.3%-0.5%, predominantly mild swelling or transient weakness, which resolves within 3 days.
- Cost savings: Compared to other Type A botulinum toxin brands, Metox 100u yields a 20-30% reduction in cost per unit with comparable efficacy.
