What Is Innotox?

Innotox is an innovative product for smoothing mimic wrinkles on the face. Because of its liquid form, Innotox is extremely easy to use which has made it a very popular product in many countries.

Botulax can be used to improve the appearance of facial wrinkles, muscle spasm, hyperhidrosis, blepharospasm and more! The effects of Botulax can be seen starting from  2 days of the injection, which makes this an excellent alternative to Innotox. 

3. Liztox

This is also a highly purified botulinum toxin type A for correction and preventive care of mimic wrinkle. Due to inhibition of signaling between muscles and motor nerves, the product acts as a myorelaxant and is used for control of dynamic wrinkles. The leveling effect of Liztox is reached by the correction of both small and deep wrinkles, applying the product regularly effectively prevents the formation of new folds.
