BOTOX-IF IT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS!

A warning to our patients about over-diluted Botox!


Botox prices are all over the place, and we want our patients and others to be aware of why that may be. We know there is a lot of competition out there right now, but please think of this before you decide where to go to get injected.

Botox comes in a dehydrated, freeze dried form and it is mixed with a saline solution before injection. The dilution standard for optimal results is set by Allergan; however, it is up to the practitioner to dilute it with the proper amount of solution. If it is too diluted, it will not last, and sometimes not work at all. And this usually is the case in those injectors whose Botox prices are unrealistically low. We dilute by strict Allergan guidelines which is why our Botox lasts as long as it is supposed to last, and sometimes even longer. The telltale sign that Botox has been diluted too much is when it wears off in 6-8 weeks. One can expect some movement of the injected area after 4 weeks, but total dissipation after 6-8 weeks is a sign that you were injected with watered down Botox.

So the question you need to decide is, are you really saving money if you buy Botox cheaper than the normal pricing range, if you have to get re-injected every 2 months or less. Think about it!!! In this case, cheap is expensive!
