Can Botox and fillers be watered down? Some on line reviews of my provider of these are accusing him of doing so. Is this something that can be done? I have opted to find another provider whom I have used on occasion
Answer: Can Botox and fillers be watered down? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Botox comes as a dehydrated powder that requires reconstitution, so based on the amount of fluid placed it will affect its dilution. That is why it is important to understand the number of units administered as this is the only way to compare effects across injectors. Fillers come pre-filled, and though they can be diluted, if you watch the individual blister pack opened you can avoid that possibility. Hope this helps.

Answer: Botox Depending on how the Botox is stored and how long ago it was reconstituted (it comes as a freeze dried powder and must be mixed with saline before use) the activity of Botox can in fact decrease. Dilutions do vary amongst providers, but the number of units is the determining factor in efficacy.

Answer: Can Botox and fillers be watered down? Botox needs to be reconstituted with saline in order to be used. If you go to a reputable place "watered down" product should not be an issue.

Answer: Can Botox be watered down? This is a good question which often gets asked. Botox is always watered down. It comes in a powder form and saline in placed into the vial containing the Botox. Some doctors use a concentrated solution, while others like to use a dilute mixture. The only thing that matters is the number of units of Botox injected. The concentration usually has no relevance. The most important determinant of the results is the skill of the injector. I hope this helps. Good luck,
