Because botulinum toxin belongs to the management of toxic drugs, the state strictly controls it. Up to now, there are two kinds of legal Botox in China, Lanzhou Hengli and American Botox. Botulinum toxin belongs to prescription drugs at home and abroad, so the injected drugs must have the national medicine standard issued by National Medical Products Administration.
In the current market, many botulism in unqualified beauty institutions are purchased from illegal vendors. These botulinum toxins not only have no approval number, no expiration date, but also have inaccurate doses. Once something goes wrong, the consequences are unimaginable.
According to a botulinum toxin expert, at present, 50% of botulinum toxin preparations in China's market are "1 products are split into two or even three pieces for sale" by some unscrupulous traders who make huge profits, thus diluting the medicinal properties of botulinum toxin and making huge profits from it. There are 30 units of botulinum toxin in the market, but none of the world's three major manufacturers, including Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products, have produced this botulinum toxin.
The price of this kind of botulinum toxin is very low, some are only tens of dollars, while the price of botulinum toxin from regular manufacturers is higher. Driven by interests, illegal institutions buy botulinum toxin at a low price and then sell it at a high price to make huge profits.
In order to be healthy, you still have to go to a regular medical institution for an injection. And the cost must be within a certain range, 1000-3000 yuan is reasonable, and the excessive price is unreasonable.
