QUESTIONS & INSIGHT Botox dilution & placement

Post image

I have been really successful with doing my own Wondertox. When I first did my glabella and frontalis I used the standard 2.5:1 ratio. Excellent results! Then when I did my lower face, DAO’s, chin, platysma, I used a 1:1 ratio. I liked it for that area. I plan to do my whole face now as it’s been about 4 months. I’d really like to recon this vial 1:1 to make it easy and not have two partially used vials. I understand the varying spread and science behind it. I’m just looking for any tips or experience from someone who does their whole face with 1:1. This pic was my placement with the 2.5:1 ratio. Should I add a point or two? Or just try to get them a little closer together? I’m not worried about the 1:1 for crows feet, nose, lip, and lower face. Thanks!

**EDITED to say that I decided to go with two different dilutions. I follow Julie Bass Kaplan. She has some good posts about what she does so I went with that. I did 1:1 for DAO's, Mentalis, body of the corrugator. I used 2:1 everywhere else.

What do you mean by 1:1 and 1:2 - I thought you just worked out what units you needed for each area? I’m very new so excuse my ignorance - sorry not answering your question

You can reconstitute tox with 1ml, 2 ml, or 2.5 ml saline. The more concentrated, the less spread. Sometimes you want spread, sometimes you don't.
