If the goal is to work with a minimum number of units of the drug, but a large area needs to be covered, then

double dilution is used. For example, the lateral extent of the orbicularis oculi muscle may, in some cases, extend to the upper part of the cheek , lateral part of the zygomatic region (up to the tragus).

Triple dilution is used to improve skin texture and treat hyperhidrosis.

  • Double dilution
For a double dilution, draw up the desired number of units into a standard 2.5ml dilution insulin syringe and then draw up an equal amount of saline. So now each marking on the syringe corresponds to half a unit instead of 1 unit. This makes it possible to deliver as little as a quarter of a unit with each injection.

  • Triple Dilution
For a triple dilution, select the standard drug with a 2.5 ml dilution and twice that of normal saline.

A total of 0.3 units delivered per 1 unit injected on an insulin syringe.

  • Microbotox

Microbotox technique was developed by Dr. Wofles Wu.

The aim of microbotox was to deliver tiny vesicles of botulinum toxin as superficially as possible, in particular to create superficial muscle relaxation, and at the same time prevent the toxin from diffusing into the entire muscle in order to completely paralyze it.

  • Intraglandular injections are given into the salivary gland in case of
    • parotid hypertrophy

protrudes after neck lift operations.

The placement of the drug must be accurate in terms of muscle size and depth so that there is no diffusion into unwanted muscle fibers.
