Can You Dilute Botox with Lidocaine 1% ONLY Instead of Normal Saline? Will It Have the Same Effect?

September 13, 2013
Asked By:Lucy2013

Normally my doctor dilutes 100 units botox with 2.5cc of injectable normal saline but could I dilute the 100 units of botox with 2.5 cc of 1% lidocaine and inject as normal and get the same results?
