{"product_id":"botulax-100u","title":"Botulax 100U","description":"\u003cp\u003eBotulax is Hugel's botulinum toxin type A, and it is the product that put Korean toxin on the map internationally. The 100-unit vial is the workhorse presentation - large enough for a full-face session, small enough that a quieter week does not mean pouring product down the sink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt arrives as a lyophilised powder, which is the conventional format for botulinum toxin and the reason it travels well. Freeze-dried toxin is more forgiving of the small temperature excursions that happen in international freight than a liquid preparation is, and the vial has a long shelf life sitting in the fridge. The trade-off is the reconstitution step: the powder has to be brought into solution with sterile saline before use, and the volume you choose determines the concentration you end up with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat step is worth taking seriously, because it is where dosing inconsistency enters a clinic. Standardise the diluent volume across your practice and Botulax behaves predictably. Let each practitioner do it their own way and the same box produces different results in different rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy practitioners choose Botulax 100U\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA long track record\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHugel has been exporting Botulax for over a decade and it is used in dozens of markets.

Reconstitute with sterile 0.9% sodium chloride, adding the diluent gently down the side of the vial - botulinum toxin is a protein and vigorous shaking denatures it.
