Experts teach you how to distinguish between true and false botulinum toxin.
Botulinum toxin has been widely used in the medical beauty industry since it was certified by the National Medical Supplies Administration in 2009. However, in today's relatively irregular medical beauty market, the phenomenon of inferior botulinum toxin and abuse of botulinum toxin is common. How to tell whether botulinum toxin is true or false? Let the experts tell you three key points to identify the authenticity of botulinum toxin. 1, to see if the botulinum toxin package is intact. Packaging mainly depends on whether the seal of the medicine bottle is complete. If it is open, it is best to refuse to use it. 2. Look at the characteristics of botulinum toxin. Domestic botulinum toxin can be seen in the white powder in the bottle. Imported botulinum toxin has a very small amount of white material at the bottom of the bottle (similar to the dry trace left at the bottom of the cup after drinking milk). If it is a transparent liquid, it means it has been used. This biological agent must be used now. 3. To see the contents of the botulinum toxin package, we must first look at the production date and expiration date on the botulinum toxin package. Secondly, domestic botulinum toxin depends on whether there is a "national medicine quasi-word"; Imported botulinum toxin depends on whether there is an "imported drug registration number" and so on. The main difference here is the authenticity of imported drugs. Many fake botulism are used as imported botulism. As long as it is an imported drug approved by the State Drug Administration, there must be instructions in both Chinese and English on the instructions and packaging, otherwise it is a fake. Plastic surgery experts said that the medical beauty market in China is not perfect at present, and there are only two kinds of botulinum toxin approved by the State Administration of Medical Supplies. One is domestic botulinum toxin produced in Lanzhou; One is botulinum toxin imported from the United States, which has just entered the medical beauty market in China. In addition, they are all illegally produced or unqualified products. Experts advise beauty seekers to choose carefully to avoid unnecessary harm.
