Jetema has officially launched the export of its botulinum toxin product to Thailand following regulatory approval received this past summer. The move marks a strategic effort to expand brand presence throughout Southeast Asia.
Why it matters
The entry of this product into Thailand reflects the growing demand for Korean aesthetic treatments, often driven by the popularity of K-beauty trends in the region. Consumers in these markets are increasingly seeking access to these specific cosmetic formulations.
In July 2026, the Thailand Food and Drug Administration granted approval for Jetema-the-toxin 100U. The company has since initiated its first shipment to the country, with plans to distribute 650,000 vials over the next five years.
