Hi,I just went to a place that administered botox from a bottle/vile that was already opened. The lady used 4 different needles to suck botox from an already opened vile. I presume she was using 4 needles, so she wasn't double dipping into the bottle? She told me she likes using several needles because they dull after each area. I've never seen this done before nor have I noticed the bottle already opened and half used before, maybe I just never noticed. Does this seem normal and safe?

Answer: Most Botox vials are either 50 or 100 units therefore it is not uncommon to use the same vial for more than one patient.
