I would refer to the package insert when it comes to preparing and injecting Botox for administration.

There are many marks on the insulin syringe and if you are referring to the o.1ml mark than diluting it with 1cc of saline.

I hope that you are a medical professional asking this question with the proper credentialing to prepare this.
