Puritox is a botulinum toxin type A from Aeterderm in South Korea, sold in 100-unit and 200-unit vials. Its marketing angle is a 900 kDa complete protein complex with a stated 99.64% purity. It is administered by a trained professional, and the official guide is below for your records.

What is Puritox, and what does “complete complex” mean?

Puritox (sometimes written Puri Tox) is a botulinum toxin type A made by Aeterderm, a South Korean company, in 100-unit and 200-unit vial sizes. Its headline pitch is a 900 kDa complete protein complex, meaning the manufacturer states the protein profile matches the original botulinum toxin complex: NTNH, the BoNT heavy and light chains, plus the hemagglutinin subunits that surround the core toxin.

Aeterderm also reports a 99.64% purity figure, roughly 7.5 years of development with accumulated data, and a clinically reported minimum 6-month duration. Read those as the maker’s framing, not independently settled fact. It is worth contrasting this design with the complex-free approach of Coretox, which deliberately strips out those surrounding proteins. Neither approach is universally “better,” and the choice is a professional’s, not a marketing line’s.

Log Notes. This explains what Puritox is and the general science, not how to use it. It gives no doses, units, dilution, injection points, depth, or frequency, all of which live in the official guide and belong to a licensed professional. Nothing here is medical advice, and this is not a do-it-yourself procedure.

How does botulinum toxin type A work?

It temporarily quiets targeted muscle activity. Botulinum toxin type A works by blocking the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, the chemical signal that tells a muscle to contract. Published pharmacology reviews describe this mechanism of botulinum toxin type A in detail: with that signal interrupted, the treated muscle relaxes for a period, then gradually recovers as nerve signaling returns.

The surrounding complex proteins (the hemagglutinin and NTNH that Puritox emphasizes) do not deliver the muscle effect themselves; the core toxin does. Their reported role relates to stability and how the molecule behaves, which is exactly the kind of nuance worth discussing with a professional rather than picking from a brochure.

A bit of context helps here. South Korea exports many botulinum toxin brands, and Puritox is one of a crowded field. A high purity figure or a long development timeline can read as impressive on a spec sheet, yet brand recognition and independent study are not the same thing. A brand can be marketed heavily and still have a thin record in outside journals. That gap is normal in this category and is not a verdict on safety; it simply means the headline numbers deserve a careful read, and the choice between a complete-complex design and a complex-free one stays with the professional who treats you.

What should you expect, and what is worth tracking?

A clear timeline and a steady record. Because the muscle-relaxing effect builds over days and then fades over weeks to months, the useful comparison is session to session, not day to day. A dated log beats memory, especially when you want to test a “6-month duration” claim against your own results. Our note on how long does Botox last sets realistic expectations.

So what should you actually track? Start with how long results last for you. Note the date you first noticed onset and the date the effect began to fade, then compare that span to the stated six-month figure. After two or three cycles, you will have your own number, which matters far more than any brochure claim.

Keep your photos consistent. Shoot in the same light, from the same angle, with the same expression each time, and take one neutral shot plus one mid-expression. That pairing makes a fair before-and-after. Add a simple self-rating, one to five, on how satisfied you felt just before your next appointment, and record it at the same point in every cycle so the numbers stay comparable.

Finally, always note the exact product and brand used. If you ever switch from Puritox to another toxin, those earlier notes turn the next session into a genuine comparison instead of a hunch about what changed.

This is the kind of cycle Dosefi is built to track. You add Puritox as a treatment, log each session with its date and a photo, set a reminder for when results typically start to ease, and let your self-rated notes build a picture over time. For another Korean toxin with different positioning, see our post on Botulax.

A grounded takeaway

Puritox is Aeterderm’s 900 kDa complete-complex botulinum toxin type A, marketed on high purity and a reported minimum six-month duration. Treat the complete-complex design and duration figures as the manufacturer’s framing, keep a dated record, and leave candidacy, product choice, dosing, and the procedure itself to a licensed professional.
