Bocouture

What is it?

Bocouture 50 Units is a purified botulinum toxin type A neurotoxin produced by Merz Pharma, presented as a lyophilized powder free from complexing proteins. It is designed for aesthetic and medical use to temporarily relax muscles and smooth dynamic facial lines, especially in areas such as the glabellar region, forehead, and periorbital (crow’s feet) region. Bocouture’s protein-free formulation reduces the risk of antibody formation and ensures consistent, safe results.
