FAQ Innotox – Frequently asked questions about liquid botulinum toxin
Do you have any questions about Innotox 100 U or Innotox 50 U? Here you’ll find answers to the questions most frequently asked by healthcare professionals and practitioners of aesthetic medicine.
What is Innotox?
Innotox is a type A botulinum toxin manufactured by the Korean laboratory Hugel. Its main distinctive feature is that it is packaged as a ready-to-use liquid solution, unlike other conventional botulinum toxins, which come in lyophilized form (powder) requiring reconstitution before injection. Innotox is certified by the KFDA (Korean Food and Drug Administration).
What’s the difference between Innotox 100 U and Innotox 50 U?
The main difference lies in the dosage: Innotox 100 U contains 100 units of botulinum toxin per vial, while Innotox 50 U contains 50 units. The choice depends on the volume of treatments to be performed and the practitioner’s preferences. Innotox 100 U is generally preferred by practitioners with a high volume of activity, as it enables several patients to be treated with a single opened vial (provided the 24-hour use-by period after opening is respected).
Is Innotox safe? What certifications does it have?
Yes, Innotox is a medical product certified and approved by the KFDA (Korean equivalent of the US FDA). It is manufactured to strict pharmaceutical standards at Hugel’s plants in South Korea. Hugel is one of the world leaders in botulinum toxin, exporting its products to over 50 countries. Innotox is for professional medical use only.
How long does Innotox last?
The effect of Innotox generally lasts between 3 and 6 months, depending on the areas treated, the dosage used and the patient’s individual response. Results are visible as early as 3 to 5 days after injection, with an optimal effect reached around the 10th day. A follow-up appointment at 15 days is recommended to assess results and carry out any touch-ups.
How to store Innotox
Innotox should be stored between +2°C and +8°C (refrigerated), protected from light. It must never be frozen. Once opened, the bottle must be used within 24 hours. The cold chain must be maintained throughout transport and storage. That’s why GlobalCosm guarantees refrigerated isothermal delivery for all Innotox shipments.
What areas can be treated with Innotox?
Innotox can treat many areas of the face, including :
- Forehead: horizontal wrinkles
- Glabella: frown lines (between the eyebrows)
- Crow’s feet: wrinkles at the corners of the eyes
- The brow lift: non-surgical eyebrow enhancement
- Chin: orange peel effect
- The perioral region: barcode wrinkles
What are the contraindications to Innotox?

- Allergies to Clostridium botulinum proteins
- Blood coagulation disorders
- Certain medications (anticoagulants, aminoglycosides)
- Any active infection at the injection site
Is Innotox better than classic Botox?
It’s not a question of being “better”, but of being different and complementary. Innotox stands out for its ready-to-use liquid formulation (no reconstitution required), which simplifies preparation and reduces the risk of dosing errors. Its diffusion profile is also considered more precise by many practitioners. However, the choice between Innotox and other toxins depends on the practitioner’s preferences and the patient’s specific needs.
