I have recently diluted a vial of Botox with 2.5ml of normal Saline. However I am only getting about 90units and not 100 units. I have triple check the measurements.
Answer: See a Board Certified Cosmetic Dermatologist for Best Outcome--Botox injections I'm not sure if you mean to administer Botox yourself. If so, I don't recommend it. Botox should only be administered by a board certified doctor. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Botox Dilution and Draw-Up This is a website that offers patient advice, not a "how to" seminar for individuals who wish to self inject. My advice is that you see a core trained Physician experienced in Botox and leave those details to him/her.

Answer: Botox vial volume Thank you for your question. The difference between 90 units and 100 units of Botox is only 0.25 mL. Are you removing the outer metal ring and stopper - and (with sterile technique) drawing the remaining product up through (at least) a 1" needle? We always "crack" the lid of the Botox vial in this manner in order to withdraw every little drop of product, and not waste any precious units.

Answer: Having trouble mixing Botox? Hi EJ283,The nebulous information you have provided allows two possible conclusions. First you are a physician asking for advice through a patient oriented portal when in fact you would need to speak with an Allergan Representative for this advice and training. Being a registered physician with Allergan would be the only legal way to obtain the Botox in the first place. Second: You are not a physician and planning on self injecting which would mean you are obtaining what is supposed to be Botox from another source other than Allergan which would make it most likely bogus. Self injecting is not recommended nor is using Botox obtained by means other than through Allergan. No advice can be given to you for these reasons other than have your Botox injected by a physician trained to do so.
