  • Title: Dilution, storage, and electromyographic guidance in the use of botulinum toxins.
    Author: Mantell AM.
    Journal: Dermatol Clin; 2004 Apr; 22(2):135-6, v. PubMed ID: 15222572.
    Abstract:
    Botulinim toxin A (BTX-A) is available commercially in two formulations: Botox (Allergan, Inc. Irvine, California) and Dysport (Ipsen Limited, Berkshire, United Kingdom). To use BTX-A successfully for cosmetic purposes, it is important to understand the basic principles of BTX-A therapy and the specific guidelines for its use, including dilution and storage. Injection using electromyographic guidance is helpful in achieving correct placement of BTX-A by locating the muscle responsible for a particular facial line.
