【Refrigeration-Free Botulinum Toxin: The Antidote to Resistance】
Premium Botulinum Toxin to Prevent Resistance: Xeomin/Bocouture
The world’s only botulinum toxin product that can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 years.
Bocouture, developed by Merz Pharmaceuticals in Germany, is a botulinum toxin Type A product offering benefits such as facial slimming and wrinkle reduction. Over time, the botulinum toxin is naturally broken down and metabolized by the body, ensuring no long-term effects and providing a high level of safety.
⭐︎Why Choose Xeomin/Bocouture Botulinum Toxin?
Studies on patients who have undergone multiple botulinum toxin treatments show that nearly 70% reported diminishing treatment efficacy. Furthermore, over 64% of respondents were unaware that the complex proteins in botulinum toxin formulations can trigger antibody formation, potentially leading to resistance after three or more treatments. The situation becomes more challenging once antibodies develop, as patients must wait up to 36 months for their body to metabolize these antibodies before resuming treatment, resulting in a three-year interruption in their beauty plans.
As the only botulinum toxin approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM), and the Hong Kong Department of Health, Xeomin/Bocouture offers unparalleled advantages. Unlike traditional formulations, it does not require refrigeration and maintains stable efficacy. It is produced using advanced purification techniques to create a pure botulinum toxin free of accessory proteins.
This lack of accessory proteins significantly reduces the risk of immune reactions caused by foreign proteins, thereby preventing antibody formation that could render treatments ineffective. Its small molecular size minimizes the likelihood of triggering the immune system, making it a superior option for preventing resistance. This is why Xeomin/Bocouture is acclaimed as a premium botulinum toxin for preventing treatment resistance.
Mechanism of Action
Pure, impurity-free Xeomin directly enters the nerve endings. By inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, it effectively blocks the nerve cell signals responsible for muscle contraction, allowing the muscles to relax. This prevents the formation of wrinkles, reduces masseter hypertrophy to achieve a slimmer face, or smoothens and refines muscle tissue, restoring beautiful contours.
Applicable Areas:
-
Masseter muscles (facial slimming)
-
Dynamic wrinkles (crow’s feet, forehead lines, nasolabial folds, etc.)
-
Trapezius muscles (shoulder slimming)
-
Calf muscles (leg slimming)
Duration of Effect:8-14 months

Each package contains: 50U/100U
The weight of Xeomin Bocouture is 150 kD (kD stands for kilodaltons, a unit for measuring molecular weight). Each 100-unit vial contains only about 0.6 ng of botulinum toxin protein, which refers to the actual weight of the active ingredient. This makes the product purer. This means Xeomin Bocouture contains no excess complex proteins in the formulation, only the active component. As a result, Xeomin Bocouture is the only botulinum toxin type A product that can be shipped without refrigeration.

Xeomin/Bocouture FAQ
Experts indicate that Xeomin is very safe. The amount of botulinum toxin used in facial slimming injections is only about one percent of the maximum safe dosage, which is insufficient to cause any harm to the body. Additionally, over time, the botulinum toxin is gradually metabolized and eliminated by the body, ensuring no long-term effects. The treatment is also safe as it does not cause damage to facial nerves or blood vessels, does not affect facial expressions, and no side effects have been observed, allowing patients to feel at ease.
Both hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin are effective for wrinkle reduction, but which should we choose in practice? Simply put, hyaluronic acid is suitable for treating static wrinkles, while botulinum toxin is effective for dynamic wrinkles. This is because botulinum toxin paralyzes the muscles responsible for the wrinkles, relaxing the wrinkles and relieving muscle spasms. When you smile, the muscles in that area remain still, which naturally alleviates or even eliminates the wrinkles.
Xeomin (西马肉毒) and Botox (保妥适) are both botulinum toxin type A products used to improve wrinkles and facial lines. The main differences between them lie in their purity and composition:
- Xeomin: Does not contain complex proteins (i.e., no complex proteins), offering higher purity and lower allergy risks, making it suitable for long-term users or those sensitive to complex proteins.
- Botox: Contains complex proteins, has a broader range of uses, and has a longer history of market validation.
The specific choice should be made based on individual needs and doctor’s advice.
Xeomin’s Chinese name is 西马肉毒, a highly purified botulinum toxin product introduced by Merz, a German company.
Xeomin botulinum toxin is an A-type botulinum toxin that works by blocking the signal transmission between nerves and muscles, thereby relaxing the muscles. It is used for facial wrinkles, facial slimming, and treatments like hyperhidrosis. Its key features include high purity and the absence of auxiliary proteins, effectively reducing the risk of antibody production.
