What is the Most Common Amount of Saline Mixture to Powder Constitution of Botox?

We use 2.5cc of Saline to each vial of Botulinum Toxin as suggested in the package insert for a total of 40 units per 1.0 cc. However according to personal preference, it can be mixed witjh 1-5 cc.

The most common dilution rate is 2.5 cc's of saline solution per 100 units of Botox.  If you are a consumer, we would be more interested in the number of Botox units injected as opposed to the dilution rate.  The number of units injected is the best way to understand how the treatment you are receiving compares with that of other offices.  Good luck.

In the instructions that come with the BOTOX vial, doctors are instructed to dilute the BOTOX with 2 to 4 ml of sterile saline.  As you can see from the other responses, some doctors use more saline and there are other who only use 1 ml of saline.  However the most common dilutions are in the 2 to 4 ml range.  

This means that when the doctor draws up the Botox solution into a one milliliter syringe, the syringe can literally hold any amount of Botox from 100 units, the entire contents of a Botox vial, or as little as 5 units of Botox in the case of one Newport Beach dermatologist who dilutes a vial with 20 ml of saline.  However the typical office is in the 25 unit to 50 unit per 1 ml syringe range.  Occasional an office uses sterile injectable water for their Botox.  It is extremely painful when water instead of saline is used so you are unlikely to go back to an office that makes this mistake.
