Quick answer
What is Meditoxin?
Meditoxin is a Korean botulinum toxin type A produced by Medytox. It works the same way as other type A toxins, temporarily relaxing targeted muscles to soften expression lines or slim the jaw, and has been used in Korean clinics for many years.
Korean toxins such as Meditoxin are popular in Seoul because they are familiar to local doctors and usually more affordable than imported brands. If you prefer an imported product, ask about Allergan Botox or Xeomin.
