It is always interesting to discuss which reconstitution volumes various aesthetic practitioners prefer for their botulinum toxins (BoNTAs). The dilution volume varies widely.
Shelley Melvin
Great explanation Julie. This is explained so well. Thank you for sharing your pearls.
Jennifer Miller
I really like your ideas about using a chart (preferably displayed on the wall). I also agree that meeting with all injectors is essential.
Kim Ragone, BSN, RN, CPSN
This is a great article Julie, thank you for posting it as a resource. I recently trained a new RN injector and this explanation of dilution vs. type of syringe vs. units is superb and simplified. Thank you for your on-going dedication to eduction in the aesthetic field!
