Is it normal procedure to mix Botox with .9% alcohol water?

Thank you for your question missmoo007. I am sorry to hear about your situation. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. The manufacturer recommends reconstituting a 100 unit vial of Botox with normal saline. However many doctors use preserved saline, as we do in our office. Preserved saline is normal saline with a small amount of benzyl alcohol. This preserves the shelf life of the Botox, minimizes the risk of infection, and provides for a more comfortable experience for the patient. Please follow up with your doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Thank you for your question. I am not familiar with alcohol water. Botox is
mixed/re-constituted with 0.9% Normal saline (salt water). On the bottle of
Normal saline it states "each ml contains sodium chloride, 9mg. May
contain HCL or NaOH of PH adjustment. Sterile, nonpyogenic". It best to
use an experienced injector that is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or
Dermatologist. Best of luck.
