Innotox is a brand of botulinum toxin type A from South Korea that is marketed for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe wrinkles and for certain medical conditions. Its main distinction is its ready-to-use liquid formula, which eliminates the need for reconstitution, unlike traditional powdered forms like Botox. Key features include its formulation without proteins, albumin, or gelatin, lower diffusion, and potential for longer-lasting results compared to some other products.
