Top 10 Korean Botox Brands Used in Korea

Korea is at the cutting edge of cosmetic injectables — and not just for fillers. Korean-made neuromodulators (commonly called “botox”) offer high purity, refined formulations, and great value. If you’re choosing a clinic in Korea or looking into brand options, here are ten important brands to know.

1️⃣ Nabota (by Daewoong Pharmaceutical)

• Premium botulinum toxin Type A, highly purified.
• Known for subtle, natural-looking results with minimal diffusion.
• Frequently used for wrinkles around the eyes, forehead lines and for contouring the lower face.

2️⃣ Botulax (by Hugel)

• Widely used Korean neuromodulator; strong global presence.
• Offers predictable onset (a few days) and solid duration (4-6 months+).
• Often a cost-effective alternative to imported brands.

3️⃣ Meditoxin / Neuronox (by Medytox)

• Meditoxin is the flagship; Neuronox is a common brand name.

• Known for good value and reliable performance in wrinkle treatments.

4️⃣ Rentox

• Emerging Korean botulinum toxin brand gaining recognition.

• Often used for both aesthetic and therapeutic applications (e.g., hyperhidrosis, masseter reduction).

5️⃣ Innotox (by Daewoong Foundation / affiliated entity)

• A liquid formulation neuromodulator (rather than freeze-dried powder).
• Favoured for small dose areas where precision is key (e.g., smile lines, crow’s feet).

7️⃣ Toxta

9️⃣ Liztox

• Another Korean neuromodulator brand featured in aesthetic discussions.
• Suited for clinicians familiar with varied brands and looking for options in diffusion behaviour, onset and duration.

🔟 TBD / Other Korean Brands

• The Korean neuromodulator market is evolving rapidly, with smaller brands or newer entrants.
• Clinics may carry localised or hospital-exclusive brands — important to ask your clinic which exact brand they use, and read about its regulatory status, purity and lot traceability.

Why Knowing the Brand Matters

• Safety & Purity: Korean brands follow strict local regulation and many now carry international approvals or export credentials.
• Precision & Diffusion Behaviour: Some brands spread more or less; choice affects whether you want a broad effect (e.g., jawline slim) or a tightly-targeted one (e.g., glabellar lines).
• Cost Efficiency: Korean brands often offer similar clinical outcomes at a lower cost compared to some imported neuromodulators.
• Transparency: Knowing the exact brand, unit cost, and how the clinic administers helps you make informed decisions.

How to Choose the Right Brand in Korea

✅ Confirm the exact brand name the clinic uses (not just "botox")
✅ Ask about unit cost, onset time, and expected duration for that brand
✅ Request treatment photos or case examples with that brand
✅ Check the clinic’s experience with that specific brand (for example in masseter reduction, forehead lines, jaw slimming)
✅ Ensure the product is properly stored, handled, and that the injector is certified and experienced

Final Thoughts

Korean botulinum toxin brands offer excellent options for wrinkle reduction, facial contouring, and aesthetic refinements. Whether you’re getting treatment in Seoul or comparing clinics, specifying the brand helps you align expectations, cost, safety and outcomes. As always, choose an experienced injector, ask the right questions and ensure you’re comfortable with the brand and protocol being used.
