Metox 200U is a single vial of 200 units of botulinum toxin type A, made by Maypharm in South Korea. It comes as a vacuum-dried powder that you reconstitute with saline before use.
Clinics use it to relax the muscles behind frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet, and to slim the masseter. Each box holds one vial and ships from Seoul in original packaging. Ask us about trade pricing if you order in volume.
Metox 100U or 200U — which vial should you order?
Pick the vial that matches how many units you use once it is opened. A reconstituted vial has a short working life, so leftover units are usually wasted.
| Metox 100U | Metox 200U | |
|---|---|---|
| Units per vial | 100 | 200 |
| Good fit for | One patient, or a few small upper-face areas | Masseter and other large muscles, or several patients in one session |
| Saline for 4 U per 0.1 mL | 2.5 mL | 5.0 mL |
| Toxin | Same botulinum toxin type A, same manufacturer (Maypharm) | |
Masseter treatment can take 25 to 50 units per side, so the 200U vial suits jawline work or a busy clinic day with several patients.
What is Metox made of?
Metox is botulinum toxin type A supplied as a vacuum-dried powder in a glass vial. Maypharm describes vacuum drying as a gentler alternative to freeze-drying that leaves very little powder residue in the vial. Check the box insert for the full list of stabilisers.
How does Metox work?
Metox blocks the release of acetylcholine where nerves meet muscle. The treated muscle relaxes for a period of months, so the skin above it creases less. This is why it works on dynamic wrinkles — lines caused by movement.
How do you dilute a 200-unit vial?
Reconstitute with preservative-free 0.9% sodium chloride. The volume of saline sets how many units are in each 0.1 mL:
| Saline added | Units per 0.1 mL | Units per 1 mL |
|---|---|---|
| 2.0 mL | 10 U | 100 U |
| 4.0 mL | 5 U | 50 U |
| 5.0 mL | 4 U | 40 U |
Add the saline slowly down the side of the vial and swirl gently. Do not shake — foaming can damage the toxin protein.
When do results show and how long do they last?
Most patients notice softening within a few days, with the full effect at around 2 weeks. Results usually last 3 to 4 months, depending on the area, dose and patient. Leave at least 3 months between treatments.
How should Metox 200U be stored?
Keep unopened vials refrigerated at 2–8 °C. After reconstitution, keep the vial in the fridge and use it within 24 hours. We ship toxins with cold packs in insulated packaging.
