The doctor should give you an honest answer

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Does Botox concentration vary from doctor to doctor?

I read that Botox is purchased by doctors in a powder form. And that the Botox is diluted such that one doctor may give lower concentration botox then another.  If this is true, how can i be sure that the doctor doesnt dilute my treatment more than it should be?

Each office can mix the Botox as they see fit. Some make 20 unit syringes, others 25 units per syringe. Other mixtures can also be done. Just ask and you should get a straight answer from an honest doctor.
