Korean botulinum toxin vs imported Botox
Korean toxins are widely used, approved and much cheaper, which is why Korean prices look low to visitors. Imported brands such as Botox (Allergan) or Xeomin cost more. Some frequent users prefer imported brands or those with fewer accessory proteins to reduce the theoretical risk of resistance. Ask which brand is used and see the vial.
How to choose
- Confirm the brand and units per area.
- Ask who injects and whether a touch-up is included.
- Avoid lying down, massaging or intense exercise for about four hours.
