Because the 18 G needle might damage the self-sealing aspect of the rubber top.<\/p>\n<p>There are always subtleties and the video might give you more insight into the way I do it, which has worked well for me.<\/p>\n<p>If you are curious, there are some questions in the comment section of the video. Someone asked where I get my medical degree. It was at Brown University.\u00a0 And someone asked why I wear a mask.\u00a0 I usually don&#8217;t talk when I&#8217;m reconstituting Botox, and I consider it to be a medication that I&#8217;m making that gets injected into a patient, I wanted to make sure I treat it like a surgery &#8211; for much of the same reasons &#8211; keep the work area from potential contamination.\u00a0 Extra talking creates microdroplets from our mouth into the air.\u00a0 And thus&#8230; I prefer to wear a mask if I&#8217;m doing some extra talking &#8211; for the camera or with a patient while working with Botox.\u00a0 It may be a surgeon thing.\u00a0 It makes me more comfortable knowing that I offered the best for my patients.<\/p>\n<p>I hope the info helps.\u00a0 If you are a potential patient, feel free to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\">visit my page about Botox and we are located in Modesto, California<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The above video made by me on YouTube explains &#8220;how to make Botox&#8220;, well, we&#8217;re not making the Botox, we are reconstituting it from a dry Botox form to a liquid Botox injectable form.\u00a0 You could mix it with as much saline as you like.\u00a0 Some would call this dilution, but I prefer the word &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/how-to-reconstitute-100u-botox-bottle\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">How to reconstitute 100U Botox bottle<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31,1],"tags":[32,176,6,175],"class_list":["post-955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-botox","category-uncategorized","tag-botox","tag-dilution","tag-modesto","tag-reconstitution"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=955"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/955\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":957,"href":"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/955\/revisions\/957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
