How diluted is Botox for micro Botox?

Question

I know Botox is reconstituted with saline before injecting, and I’ve read that micro Botox used for reducing oil in the face is an even more diluted Botox. How diluted is it compared to regular Botox?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, the dilution is the same. Keep in mind, Botox results resolve in 3-4 months. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

The correct answer is the botox powder is reconstituted just as it is with traditional Botox injections. In my practice, we then add ten units of reconstituted Botox to a solution containing diluted Hyaluronic Acid base with the addition of PRP, lightning agents, or a combination of these, customized to the specific needs of your skin. 
Benefits include tightening of the skin, smoothing of the skin, volumization, hydration, and much more – all with little to no downtime.
So Botox is not more diluted; it is combined with other substances based on the individual patient.

Micro Botox is what is referred to when Botox is injected very superficially in thinner skin areas, generally the skin under the eye. Micro Botox injections are reconstituted the same as regular Botox, it is just a different injection technique. What you are referring to I believe is a treatment called AquaGold which is a completely different treatment where Botox along with some other ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid are penetrated into the skin using a shallow stamping device. This helps with oily skin, large pores, and the effects of aging. So to answer your question the botox for this treatment is not reconstituted differently, rather it is combined with other beneficial ingredients and stamped superficially into the whole face.

Thank you for your question. No, the dilution is the same as regular injections. The only difference is that with micro-Botox you will receive several superficial injections of small amounts of Botox. I recommend having a consultation with an expert injector to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

The micro Botox, or meso-Botox technique, was developed by Bernard Hertzog for specific reasons. The dilution depends on the reason of injections and has nothing to do with "recommended" dilution.These dilutions allow to use as little as 1/4 to 1/8 of a unit per injection. The most difficult is to find an injector who's interest in Botox goes beyond the acceptable standards. Good luck!

We dilute microBotox an additional 30 to 50 percent with normal saline and/or lidocaine 0.5%. With microBotox you receive well over 100 very superficial injections of very small amounts of diluted Botox. Surprisingly, it is not painful.

Melvin Elson, MD · Answer

The dilutiion is the same for microbotox as for Botox ie 2.5 cc saline per 100 units Botox.  the iuse is different byut the dilution the same

Most will use 2.5 ml or cc with 100 units, however this can be further diluted - every single specialist will have their own hyper dilution, based upon a tailored approach to your skin concerns. Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane . AU
