Bocouture 50 Units – Single Vial

Bocouture 50 Units by Merz Aesthetics is a purified botulinum neurotoxin type A, specifically designed for facial aesthetics and anti-wrinkle injections. It is free from complexing proteins, setting it apart from other botulinum toxin brands like Botox® or Dysport®. This formulation significantly reduces the risk of antibody formation, making Bocouture a preferred choice for practitioners treating repeat patients or those with previous resistance concerns. This neurotoxin temporarily blocks acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, relaxing targeted muscles and softening expression lines. It is used in both men and women to achieve a smoother, more youthful facial appearance, particularly in dynamic lines caused by repetitive facial movements.
