Frequently Asked Questions

 

BOTOX Training
Firstly I must point out the units and dilutions are not transferable between the various different botulinum toxin products.

There are many differences between the botulinum toxin products available on the market especially with Azzalure and Botox. Azzalure is provided in 125 Speywood unit vials and Botox is provided in 100 unit vials and Vistabel in 50 unit vials other differences include pharmacology, lethal doses and licensed degree of use for medical and cosmetic purposes to name a few.

Azzalure requires a higher volume of units per injection site than required with Botox to achieve similar results, most practitioners recommend that 3 units of Azzalure can be used to 1 unit of Botox to achieve these results.

At the KT Training introduction to Botox course we teach clinicians to reconstitute BOTOX/VISTABEL

Botox (100 unit vials) with 2ML of bacteriostatic sodium chloride 0.9%
Vistabel (50 unit vials) with 1ML of bacteriostatic sodium chloride 0.9%

Various dilutions exist for Botox/Vistabel we find these dilutions straightforward for new injectors. The ease of transition would depend on whether your original training with Azzalure covered standard metric ML dilutions and units or the Speywood units.

 

For many experienced botulinum toxin injectors the transition can be very straightforward. If you are unsure of the transition from Azzalure to Botox I would recommend one of the refresher Botox training courses which will provide a comprehensive knowledge of the Botox and Vistabel product plus hands-on injection time with patients provided to ensure a good level of confidence. For more information regarding refresher Botox training courses please contact KT Training.

Do you Require a Prescription for Dermal Fillers?

Posted on by

You do not require a private prescription for dermal fillers(Juvederm Ultra, Restylane, etc) as they are medical devices, not prescription only medicines.

You will have to pay VAT if you choose to buy your dermal filler products as a stock item and not on a private prescription.

Medical devices in general do not require a private prescription and can be purchased direct from selected medical aesthetic pharmacies and dermal filler manufacturers.
