With an advanced formula that is clinically tested and non-toxic, it supports successful outcomes while preventing potential side effects.
Ingredients:
- 0.9% sodium chloride
Description: A colorless and transparent liquid
Arrangement: 5 mL Syringe
Indications:
Restore imbalances with our injectable diluent, which contains water as well as electrolytes such as sodium and chlorine. Adults typically receive 20-1000 mL of our solution via S.C., I.V., or rectal administration, whereas dosage for children may vary. Keep in a tightly sealed container and use within three years of the manufacture date at temperatures no higher than 30 °C.
FAQs: Saline for Botox Injection
1. What is saline, and why is it used with Botox?
Saline (sterile salt water) is used to dilute Botox before it is injected. Botox comes as a freeze-dried powder, and it must be reconstituted (mixed) with a liquid—typically preservative-free 0.9% sodium chloride (saline)—to prepare it for injection.
2. Does the amount of saline used affect the strength of Botox?
Yes. The amount of saline added affects the concentration of the Botox solution, but not the total units. For example, 100 units of Botox diluted in 1 mL of saline is more concentrated than 100 units in 4 mL. This can influence the spread and precision of the injection, depending on the injector’s technique and the treatment area.
3. Is there a standard amount of saline used to dilute Botox?
There is no single standard, but most practitioners use between 1 to 4 mL of saline per 100 units of Botox. The exact dilution depends on personal preference, area being treated, and desired effect.
4. Can using too much saline make Botox less effective?
Not necessarily. A higher dilution (more saline) spreads more easily and may be suitable for larger treatment areas, while a lower dilution (less saline) is often used for more precise targeting. The key factor is total units injected, not just the volume.
5. Is it safe to use saline with Botox?
Yes, using preservative-free 0.9% saline is the industry-standard and is considered safe. It’s important that the dilution is performed properly by a trained medical professional.
6. Does the type of saline matter?
Yes. Preservative-free saline is recommended to reduce the risk of irritation or unwanted reactions. Some practitioners may use bacteriostatic saline (with a preservative), but this is generally avoided for cosmetic Botox.
7. Will I notice a difference if more or less saline is used?
In most cases, patients won’t notice a difference unless the injector uses an extremely diluted or overly concentrated mix. The injector’s skill and understanding of muscle anatomy play a bigger role in results than dilution alone.
8. How long does diluted Botox stay effective?
Once diluted, Botox should ideally be used within 24 hours, though some clinics use it up to 72 hours after dilution if stored properly in a refrigerator. Potency may gradually decrease with time after reconstitution.
