Botulax 200U: A Revolutionary Botulinum Toxin Formula

What is Botulax 200U?

Botulax 200U is an advanced botulinum toxin formulation designed to target and reduce the expression of wrinkles by addressing the underlying muscle activity responsible for skin folds, creases, and wrinkles. Comprising over 99% of the most active botulinum neuroprotein with a total mass of 900, Botulax 200U offers precise and effective results in both cosmetic and therapeutic applications. This product is widely used for facial contour correction, providing enhanced skin tightening and restoration of facial shape through Botox lifting.

Application Areas for Botulax 200U

Botulax 200U is suitable for treating various facial areas where wrinkles and folds are most prominent. These include the forehead, interbrow zone, and the bridge of the nose. Additionally, it is effective for the correction of wrinkles around the eyes, nasolabial folds, chin, and corners of the mouth. The product is also widely used for facial contouring, helping to restore lost facial shape and achieve a more youthful appearance.

Administration Protocol for Botulax 200U

Injection Preparation: Proper preparation is crucial for the safe and effective administration of Botulax 200U. Begin by sanitizing your hands and donning medical gloves. Extract the Botulax vial from its packaging, remove the plastic cap, and cleanse the rubber stopper with an alcohol pad. For a 200U vial, draw up 4.0 ml of room-temperature sterile saline into a syringe and slowly inject it into the vial. Gently swirl the vial to mix the solution, avoiding any vigorous shaking. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes before proceeding with the treatment.

Procedure Technique: The specific technique for administering Botulax 200U will vary depending on the treatment area. Some of the most common treatments include:

• Frown Lines: Perform deep injections at the bony origin of the medial corrugator muscle while avoiding eyelid ptosis by keeping injections close to the brow.
• Crow’s Feet: Use intradermal injections to target the lateral orbicularis oculi muscle, taking care to avoid the zygomatic muscles to preserve the natural smile.
• Forehead Lines: Inject subdermally, placing the injection points at least 2 cm above the brows to minimize the risk of complications.
• Brow Lift: Superficial injections just below the brow help achieve lateral elevation while preserving the function of the lower frontalis muscle.
• Lower Eyelid: Administer a single intradermal injection lateral to the mid-pupillary line, approximately 4–5 mm below the eyelid margin.
• Bunny Lines: Perform an intradermal injection in the bunny-line area on the nose to smooth these lines effectively.
• Nasal Tip Elevation: Inject subdermally at the base of the columella to achieve the desired elevation of the nasal tip.
• Gummy Smile: A two-session treatment targeting upper-lip elevators and the depressor septi nasi muscle can help correct a gummy smile.
• Perioral Wrinkles: For fine lines around the mouth, perform superficial dermal injections, which may be combined with hyaluronic acid for optimal results.

Post-Injection Care and Storage

Following the procedure, it’s essential to minimize the risk of bruising and avoid certain activities such as vigorous exercise, bending over, or lying down for several hours post-injection. Patients should remain in an upright position for up to 3 hours to ensure optimal results and reduce the risk of complications.

Storage and Reconstitution: Botulax 200U is supplied in powder form and should be stored in a refrigerator at a temperature of 2-8°C. To reconstitute the product, use preservative-free saline or bacteriostatic saline according to the dilution protocols outlined to achieve the desired concentration. The product has a shelf life of 36 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a hermetically sealed container under the recommended conditions.
