ソウルボトッス種類

Hello, this is Primi Clinic, Seoul skin clinic.

Nowadays, most dermatology clinics offer Botox injections, making them more affordable and accessible. As a result, there are very few people who haven’t tried the treatment at least once.

Ten years ago, a single injection could cost several hundred dollars (and even now, some skin beauty clinics charge similar amounts).

Recently, however, Botox can be administered for as low as $10.

Still, have you ever felt that it didn’t work at all?
Have you wondered, “Is it too diluted?” if the Botox didn’t seem effective?

 

Is diluting Botox with saline normal?

 

First of all, diluting Botox with saline is completely normal.

Botox comes in powder form and must be dissolved in saline solution before being used as a liquid.

If the effects seem insufficient, the reasons—apart from practitioner errors—could include:

  1. The solution was too diluted, so the actual amount injected into the muscle was insufficient.
  2. The injection depth was incorrect, delivering the solution into the dermis or blood vessels instead of the muscle.
  3. The solution wasn’t properly mixed before being drawn into the syringe, causing only saline to be injected.

Additionally, patient factors such as the following may play a role:

  1. The patient has developed a tolerance to Botox.
    • To avoid resistance, avoid frequent injections (at least 2–3 months between treatments is recommended) or injecting excessive amounts in a single session (no more than 300 units within 2 weeks)

 

Why do Botox prices vary between clinics?

 

Botox prices vary significantly depending on the manufacturer.

For example, Botox brands with lower resistance risks (like Xeomin or Coretox) can cost up to 10 times more than others.

As a result, low-cost brands may be excessively diluted with saline, bringing the price of a single injection down to just a few dollars (though the efficacy will be negligible).

Often, extremely low-priced treatments are promotional “bait” products. When comparing prices, always check the manufacturer and the unit dosage rather than just the price per injection.

(There’s no need to pay exorbitant prices at premium dermatology clinics unnecessarily.)

 

What is the appropriate Botox dosage?

ボトックス容量

The required dosage of Botox varies depending on the size and location of the muscle being treated:

  • Body Botox: Approximately 100 units per muscle
  • Wrinkle Botox (crow's feet, glabellar lines, nasal bridge, nasolabial folds, chin wrinkles, lips, forehead, necklines): Around 10 units per area
  • Masseter Botox: 50–100 units

For patients with larger muscles or deeper wrinkles, the dosage may be increased.

However, regardless of muscle size, excessive amounts in a single session can lead to tolerance and side effects, such as overly weakened muscles. Always proceed with caution.

3 key points

  1. Botox is provided in powder form and dissolved in saline for use.
  2. Over-dilution, improper mixing, or incorrect injection depth can lead to reduced effectiveness.
  3. Adjust the dosage according to muscle size and location, avoiding excessive amounts in one session.
