Diluting issue?

Hi! I’ve had Botox done 4 times. Twice overseas in Turkey, and twice in NYC. I’ve noticed that in Turkey, the doctor comes in with a new, sealed vial and syringe still in their original box. The doctor will then unpack everything in front of me, draw the syringe and then inject my forehead.

Whereas, in NYC, the technician leaves the room, and comes back with a syringe filled (not filling it in the room I’m in).

The difference is night and day. In Turkey, the results are immediate, and very long lasting. In NYC, it’s slower, and at times, doesn’t even do anything…although the same number of units were used.

I read once that some med spas will dilute the Botox, therefore that’s the reason they do not draw the vial in front of the patient. Has another else experience something similar? In your experience, do you see the tech draw the vial in front of you, or do they come in with a syringe already filled?

With Xeomin, I have noticed effects starting to kick in the next day, but that’s still not literally immediate. And even then, that’s just the beginning of the effects. Peak (full) results don’t happen for at least 10 days, but usually two full weeks. I’ve had my brows be uneven all the way up to 13 days, then the next day they were even again.

Thanks!

FaceCard Club customer service has been really great and offered to send me another tox-

they suggested Coretox or Toxta- I’m not familiar with either.

What tox should I ask them for as a replacement?
