Sotorior, a premium botulinum toxin product from Dermax, has become increasingly popular in aesthetic medicine for its high purity, fast onset, and cost-effectiveness. Learning how to inject Sotorior correctly ensures optimal aesthetic outcomes while maintaining patient safety. To assist practitioners, Dermax has compiled a comprehensive usage guide on how to inject Sotorior, covering preparation, injection techniques, and essential safety tips.
Introduction of Sotorior Botulinum Toxin
Sotorior contains Botulinum Toxin Type A, a potent neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes facial muscles responsible for wrinkles and fine lines. Sotorior is provided in powder form and must be reconstituted with sterile saline before injection. This process allows precise control of the dilution ratio, ensuring accurate dosing and predictable results.
One of the key advantages of Sotorior is its high purity and stability, achieved through vacuum-drying technology rather than the traditional freeze-drying method. This minimizes protein denaturation during preparation and preserves toxin activity. As a result, Sotorior maintains consistent potency, quick onset, and smooth diffusion, providing reliable and natural-looking aesthetic outcomes.
Sotorior is available in two specifications: Sotorior 100u and Sotorior 200u. This allows practitioners to choose the appropriate dosage based on the specific needs of their patients, offering flexibility in treatment planning. Generally, the higher volume (200u) provides a more cost-effective option, reducing the cost per unit and enhancing the overall value of the treatment.

Before injecting Sotorior, it's essential to thoroughly consult with the patient to understand their aesthetic goals and medical history. Assess the treatment areas for any contraindications and obtain informed consent. Prepare the injection site by cleansing it with an antiseptic solution and marking the target areas for precise injections.
Reconstitution Step:
Sotorior comes as a lyophilized (powder) toxin that must be reconstituted before use. Using a sterile syringe, slowly inject 0.9% sodium chloride (normal saline) into the vial—commonly 2.5 mL for a 100-unit vial or 5 mL for a 200-unit vial, depending on the desired concentration. Gently rotate (do not shake) the vial to dissolve the powder completely and ensure even concentration. Avoid vigorous mixing to prevent foaming and loss of potency.
1. Choosing the Right Needle and Syringe
Select an appropriate needle and syringe for the injection. A 30-gauge needle is commonly used for its fine gauge, which minimizes discomfort and allows for precise injections. An insulin syringe to ensure accurate dosing.
2. Dosing and Units
Determine the appropriate dosage of Sotorior toxins based on the treatment area and the severity of the wrinkles or lines. The typically ranges from 2 to 4 units per injection point for facial wrinkles. Buy always refer to Sotorior dosage guidelines.
3. Injection Process
Positioning the Patient: Position the patient comfortably, either seated or lying down, depending on the treatment area.
Skin Stretching: Gently stretch the skin around the injection site to create a smooth surface. This helps in precise placement of the needle and reduces discomfort.
Injection Angle and Depth: Hold the syringe at a 45-degree angle to the skin surface for superficial injections, such as for crow's feet, or at a 90-degree angle for deeper injections, such as for glabellar lines. Insert the needle into the marked point, ensuring it reaches the appropriate depth without hitting underlying structures.
Administering the Toxin: Slowly depress the syringe plunger to inject the botulinum toxin into the target muscle. Avoid injecting too quickly to minimize the risk of diffusion to adjacent muscles. Withdraw the needle gently and apply slight pressure to the injection site with a sterile gauze pad to prevent bruising.
Multiple Injections: If multiple injections are needed, repeat the process at each marked point, ensuring even distribution of the toxin.
When using Sotorior, knowing the right injection sites helps you get better, more natural results. Common areas include:
Glabellar lines (between the eyebrows)
Forehead lines
Crow's feet around the eyes
Bunny lines on the nose
Chin or marionette lines for lower face concerns
Each area needs different units and techniques, so always adjust based on the patient's needs and follow product guidelines.
After administering Sotorior, provide patients with post-treatment instructions. Advise them to avoid touching or massaging the treated area for 24 hours to prevent toxin migration. Additionally, recommend refraining from strenuous activity, alcohol consumption, and heat exposure for 24 to 48 hours. Monitor patients for any adverse reactions and schedule a follow-up appointment for evaluation.
Like other botulinum toxin injections, injection of Sotorior requires careful handling and consideration of various precautions and contraindications to ensure safety and efficacy. Here are the key points to consider:
Known Hypersensitivity: Sotorior is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin or any of the excipients in the formulation.
Infection at the Injection Site: Do not inject Sotorior into areas with active infection or inflammation.
Neuromuscular Disorders: Patients with neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis, Eaton-Lambert syndrome, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) should not receive Sotorior due to an increased risk of systemic effects and complications.
Bleeding Disorders: Patients with bleeding disorders or those taking anticoagulant therapy may be at increased risk of bleeding and bruising at the injection site.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: The safety of Sotorior in pregnant or breastfeeding women has not been established. It is generally recommended to avoid use during pregnancy and lactation unless absolutely necessary and after thorough risk assessment.
Acute Illness: Postpone treatment in patients with acute illness or in poor general health until they have recovered.
Observation Post-Injection: Monitor the patient for a period after injection to observe any immediate adverse reactions.
