Doctors use several different dilutions: anywhere from 1cc up to 2.5cc for the face, and often 4-5cc for hyperhidrosis are the usual dilutions. Dilution is for the convenience of the doctor, as is the syringe chosen. It is the units injected that make the difference.

I would assume that you choose an expert injector. You then defer to their experience and technique. I cannot imagine why you would want to know such detailed information, but my gut says you somehow got some Botox online and you want to self-administer. Lot of that going on, to disasterous results. I'd rethink that decision.
