How to draw up botox prior to injection.

How to draw up botox in the best possible way to reduce pain and complications for your clients.

Overcomplicating something that is actually quite straightforward. Introducing too many steps also introduces the risk of more errors.

Thank you for the video. I am looking to do the decapping for product waste purposes as well as keeping the needle as sharp as possible. If you are using the botox for multiple use, are you just using the rubber stopper? Is this sufficient to keep the botox for future use?

[devdesigns]

Thank you. What kind of pliers are those that you use?

[DrRicha]

What about 50 unit vials? The insulin syringe doesn’t fit into it to draw it up.

What do you do when there is not much product left in the bottle. It's quite unavoidable not get the needle in touch with the glass, isn't it? How do you do it in that case?

[sandraragle]

This is the "OLD", easy way to do this. It is NOT the recommended practice by Allergan! The easiest way to get a nice sharp needle is to use a large bore needle to add and withdraw the fluid, then switch to a different needle!

Pls explsin calibration on insulin syringe. Also is thst insulin or tb syringe?

How each line corresponds to 0.1 cc or 4ml.

[jenwerqthatazzout]

Why not just backfill The syringe of the needle you are going to use instead of opening the products. Doesn’t opening the product expose it to air and make it less sterile?

Thanks for all you do!😊

[ellagadiparthi]

Thank you. You don’t roll it by the way?

[MMAFightMagazine]

Why not use the intended decapping tool, rather than pliers?

[arabrablynn]

If recon to 4units per .1cc then how does that translate in an insulin syringe? ie. what does each mark on the insulin syringe equal in terms of units of botox as it would not be 1:1 correct?

[reardelt]

why can't you just use a 21g to withdraw the botox and then a 30g needle to inject? Didn't know that in bd syringes the needles can't be switched

[AmaurosisFugaxx]

Not the recommended way by Allergan. I use a 1 inch 30G to dilute and withdraw all the diluted toxin with gentle pull, without removing the vacuum. Then switch to a smaller 1/2 inch 30G needle and inject face muscles. I use it for dystonia.

As a consumer, the most frustrating issue is having completely different results based on how they formulate their toxins. Is the industry doing anything to address this? Drawing it up is one thing but the reconstitution seems to be all over the place.

Best way to loose sterility of the solution is demonstrated herein.

wow, i can think of about 6 unsafe practices just watching the first 3 minutes of this video. this is not the correct way to do anything. no manufacturer would recommend this. please do not follow these recommendations. and Foodie couple, you are right you would never use an insulin syringe for anything other than insulin they are not calibrated for anything else. wish i knew who to report this to.
