PATIENT QUESTION
How can I tell if Botox in Korea is genuine?
SHORT ANSWER
Ask for the brand by name, see the sealed vial opened in front of you, and ask for the units written on your record. A board-certified dermatologist should inject. Prices far below average can signal diluted doses.

The detail
Korea makes several approved toxin brands as well as importing others; both can be genuine. What matters is transparency about brand and dose.
