I've been following medical aesthetics on Instagram and a few practitioners are doing what they call a Botox sprinkle. I'm curious how many cc's are used in this procedure versus a traditional botox injection

Answer: How many cc's of Botox are used with a sprinkle? One sprinkle of Botox is...a sprinkle! I'm not aware of this verbiage to describe a Botox treatment when used for lines and wrinkles. When it comes to toxins like Botox, it seems our patients want at least a dash, not a sprinkle! Caveat emptor. Dr Joseph

Answer: What is a Botox Sprinkle? First of all, welcome to the confusing world of Social Media where literally anyone can make up anything and we all believe it! BOTOX (like all other neuromodulators) is measured in units and not cc's. And there is technically so such thing as a "sprinkle". However, cutesy accounts on Instagram make up these words to effectively brand themselves and to make you think that they have come up with something new.What they are probably alluding to is termed "microtox" or "micro botox" and has been around for years. It simply involves placement of very small amounts of product to improve overall skin quality and not to stop the movement of muscles.Buyer beware when it comes to social media. Not everything you see is real and not everyone with an account actually knows that they are doing.I hope that helps and wish you the very best!Warmest regards.Gregory A Buford MD FACS PCEOBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Published AuthorCertified Allergan MASTER Facial Injectables Trainer
