Professional Protocols for Optimal Results


Why Proper Technique Matters


Meditoxin (botulinum toxin type A by Medytox Inc.) delivers exceptional aesthetic and therapeutic outcomes – when prepared correctly. Improper handling can cause:


Reduced efficacy (up to 40% potency loss with vigorous shaking)
Inconsistent diffusion (leading to asymmetry or ptosis)
Patient safety risks (contamination or dosing errors)


Clinical Insight: A 2023 study showed proper reconstitution improves patient satisfaction by 58% (Aesthetic Surgery Journal).


Essential Supplies Checklist


  • Before you begin, gather the following materials:

  • Meditoxin vial (50, 100, or 200 units)

  • Sterile, preservative-free saline (0.9% sodium chloride)

  • Alcohol swabs

  • 1mlSterile syringe (for 0.01mL precision)

  • 30 gauge needle

  • Alcohol swabs & sterile gloves


Step-by-Step Protocol


Phase 1: Preparation


1. Sanitization Protocol


Wipe vial stoppers with alcohol swabs

Critical: Allow 30 sec drying time (wet alcohol deactivates toxin)


2. Dilution Calculator


Treatment Area

Saline Volume per 100U

Concentration (U/0.1mL)

Glabellar lines

2.5mL

4U

Masseter reduction

1.0mL

10U

Hyperhidrosis

5.0mL

2U


Phase 2: Reconstitution


Saline Injection Technique

Draw saline slowly to avoid bubbles

Inject along vial wall at 45° angle


Mixing Method

Rotate vial gently 10 times (→ never shake ←)

Quality Check: Solution must be crystal clear

Clinical Application Scenarios


Case 1: Crow's Feet (100U vial)


Dilution: 2.5mL saline → 4U/0.1mL

Injection Plan:

3 injection points per side

0.05mL/site (2U) → Total 12U


Case 2: TMJ Disorder (200U vial)


Dilution: 1mL saline → 20U/0.1mL

Injection Plan:

Bilateral masseter, 0.15mL/side (30U)

Total 60U (remaining 140U for other areas)


3 Critical Mistakes to Avoid


❌ Mistake: Using refrigerated saline

→ Solution: Warm saline to room temp (cold increases pain)

❌ Mistake: Storing reconstituted toxin >24hrs

→ Evidence: Potency drops 15% after 12 hours (Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2022)

❌ Mistake: Reusing needles between vials

→ Risk: Cross-contamination & protein denaturation


Pro Tips for Enhanced Outcomes


Diffusion Control:

High concentration (10U/0.1mL) → Localized effect

Low concentration (2U/0.1mL) → Wider spread


Pain Reduction:

Add 0.1mL lidocaine (1%) per 1mL saline (off-label)

Use 34G nano-needles for sensitive areas


Quick Reference Q&A


Q: Can I use leftover toxin next day?
→ No. Discard after 24 hours (even if refrigerated)


Q: Why does my solution look cloudy?
→ Immediate discard required - indicates protein aggregation


Q: Best needle for precise dosing?
→ 1mL insulin syringe with 31G needle
