Why this product is different
Kaimax is one of JETEMA Co., Ltd.’s botulinum toxin brands, alongside sister product Toxta. JETEMA is a KOSDAQ-listed Korean biopharmaceutical company that operates a dedicated botulinum toxin production line with a proprietary working strain of Clostridium botulinum. Kaimax is positioned to provide an alternative brand identity in markets where Toxta has different distribution arrangements. The vacuum-drying manufacturing process produces a thinner, less-visible product layer in the vial than freeze-drying — the vial may appear nearly empty, which is normal product appearance.
Mechanism of action
Botulinum toxin type A is a presynaptic neuromuscular blocker. Following injection into target muscle, the toxin’s heavy chain binds to specific receptors on motor nerve terminals; the light chain is internalised into the nerve cytoplasm, where it enzymatically cleaves SNAP-25 — a SNARE complex protein required for acetylcholine vesicle fusion at the neuromuscular junction. Without SNAP-25, acetylcholine release into the synaptic cleft is blocked, the motor nerve cannot signal the muscle fibre to contract, and the targeted muscle relaxes. New axon terminals eventually sprout and restore neuromuscular signalling, at which point clinical effect wanes.

Frequently asked questions
What is Kaimax 100U?
Kaimax 100U is a vacuum-dried Korean botulinum toxin type A manufactured by JETEMA Co., Ltd. Each single-use vial contains 100 units of botulinum toxin type A, reconstituted with 0.9% sterile saline before injection.
Who manufactures Kaimax?
Kaimax is manufactured by JETEMA Co., Ltd., a KOSDAQ-listed Korean biopharmaceutical company. JETEMA also produces sister brand Toxta from the same production platform.
Why does the Kaimax vial look empty?
Kaimax uses vacuum-drying as the manufacturing process. Vacuum-drying produces a much thinner product layer than freeze-drying — the vial may appear nearly empty or have only a faint dried film, which is normal and not a defect. The full 100 units of botulinum toxin type A are present and dissolve when reconstituted with sterile saline.
How is Kaimax different from Toxta?
Both Kaimax and Toxta are manufactured by JETEMA Co., Ltd. using the same production platform and same proprietary working strain. They are sister products with different brand positioning. The active ingredient, vacuum-drying process, and excipient profile are equivalent.
What is Kaimax commonly used for?
Common aesthetic application zones include glabellar lines, forehead lines, lateral canthal lines, masseter contouring, brow lift refinement, mentalis muscle, and platysma bands. Specific dosing per zone is determined by the treating practitioner.
How is Kaimax 100U different from Kaimax 200U?
Kaimax 100U is the single-vial single-patient pack. Kaimax 200U is a higher-unit-count vial suited for multi-patient sessions or larger treatment areas. Both share the same JETEMA proprietary working strain and vacuum-drying process.
How is Kaimax different from Botulax?
Both are Korean botulinum toxin type A products from different manufacturers using different manufacturing processes. Kaimax is manufactured by JETEMA using vacuum-drying. Botulax is manufactured by Hugel Pharma using freeze-drying with Hugel’s proprietary working strain.
How is Kaimax different from Nabota?
Both are vacuum-dried Korean botulinum toxin type A products from different manufacturers. Kaimax is manufactured by JETEMA. Nabota is manufactured by Daewoong Pharmaceutical.
How long does Kaimax last?
Onset and duration vary with individual anatomy, muscle mass, metabolism, treatment zone, and dosing strategy. Practitioners can refer to published clinical literature for general expectations.
What are the storage requirements?
Store unopened vials at 2–8 °C, protected from light. Do not freeze. After reconstitution with 0.9% sterile saline, use within 24 hours when stored refrigerated.
