  • If you're a new injector, then preparing Botox for the first time can feel daunting. In fact, when I received my first ever Botox vial I phoned the distributer because I thought they'd sent me an empty bottle. Turns out that wasn't the first time they'd heard that!
    In this video I share how I prepare my Botox for injecting, the reconstitution used, how I draw Botox, and my top tips for ensuring your needle stays primed and sharp ready for injection.

    In this video I'm using 2.5mls of Bacteriostatic Saline mixed with the botulinum toxin & a BD syringe.

    This was a great demonstration. Just wondering if you hVe heard that flicking the BD syringe was bad bc it releases chemicals from the plastic. Would love to know your thoughts on this.

    If you are planning to take the rubber stopper out then why not take it out first and just add the saline without worrying about the vacuum and therefore bubbles? Is it so that you can mix it with the vial stopper in place?

    As you've diluted 100UI with 2.5 ml of saline, it wouldn't be 1:1 ratio. Do you keep that in mind? Or you just consider that dilution as 1:1 anyways

      The recommendation from certain manufacturers is indeed like that, with 2.5 ml being the standard for some. However, some injectors adjust the dosage based on the patient’s needs, while others don’t change it, even if this recommendation exists. It’s not necessarily because it can’t be adjusted but rather, it seems, due to profit motives.

    Since the toxin is in pressurized vapor form, wouldn't you lose some of the product by letting the air pressure release with a needle?

      If the vacuum is not removed it becomes difficult and slow to aspirate using the insulin syringes because the aspiration pressure will be lower than the vacuum pressure. Also the vacuum negative pressure will pull air bubbles into the aspirate in the syringe from around the plunger from the empty part of the syringe behind the plunger.

    Ohhh Dr.
    Your technique is wrong .
    You must not shake the mixture in hard way...but..in very gentel way.
    You must not pull the rubber cover ..this lead to lose of product sterlity..
    You must not full all the 1 ml syring with product because you will not control the injection process. easily ...
