How much normal saline do you use to reconstitute Dysport?

Aesthetics

You? Well, I use 2.4 mls, and the reason for that is that for botox, I tend to use two mls and I use this at a two to one ratio for dysport of Botox. And if I use 2.4, I get more. I get about 20% more out of a vial. And I have published extensively showing at 2.5 to one, DySport has more molecular potency. The idea somehow that it somehow travels more, it diffuses more, and all that that's absolute has been shown to be wrong. What is true is because it's more molecularly potent, you get a bigger area of effect, not because it travels more, but because you have more toxin there at 2.5 to one. The reason that I do two versus 2.4 is I inject exactly the same volume from one to the other. So if anything ever gets screwed up and gets mislabeled, it doesn't matter. I'm injecting exactly the same amount of volume. My hand knows exactly what to do and I'm doing it at a 2.5 to one ratio.
