At Boho Aesthetics, we prioritize both exceptional results and absolute safety when it comes to administering injectable treatments. This extensive guide provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for healthcare professionals and licensed practitioners on how to properly handle, prepare, and administer Botox and dermal fillers from our collection. Whether you are a seasoned injector or new to aesthetic medicine, this resource ensures you achieve beautiful, natural-looking outcomes while minimizing risks.

Pre-Treatment Preparation: Setting the Stage for Success

Before opening any product, it is critical to establish a sterile, organized workspace. Begin by sanitizing your treatment area with medical-grade disinfectant, laying out all necessary supplies, and verifying that you have the correct product and tools for the procedure.

Product Verification:
Upon receiving your order, immediately inspect each vial or syringe for integrity, expiration date, and temperature stability. Botox and certain fillers must remain refrigerated (between 2°C and 8°C / 36°F and 46°F) until use. If the cold chain has been compromised—for example, if the cooling pack is no longer cold upon delivery—contact Boho Aesthetics customer support immediately at support@bohoaesthetics.com or call +1 (405) 827-4340 for guidance.

Gathering Supplies:
Ensure you have the following ready before beginning:

• Alcohol wipes (70% isopropyl alcohol)

• Sterile gloves (non-latex recommended)

• Reconstitution supplies (sterile saline for Botox)

• Appropriate needles/syringes (e.g., 30-32G insulin syringes for Botox, 25-27G for fillers)

• Topical numbing cream (if desired for patient comfort)

• Emergency kit (hyaluronidase for HA fillers, epinephrine for allergic reactions)

Patient Assessment:
A thorough consultation is mandatory before any injection. Review the patient’s medical history, allergies, and aesthetic goals, and document any contraindications (e.g., pregnancy, autoimmune disorders, or active infections). Take pre-treatment photos from multiple angles for comparison.

Botox Administration: Step-by-Step Protocol

Step 1: Reconstituting Botox
Botox arrives as a lyophilized powder and must be reconstituted with preservative-free 0.9% sodium chloride (sterile saline). The standard dilution is 2.5 mL of saline per 100-unit vial, though some practitioners prefer different ratios depending on the treatment area.

1. Clean the vial’s rubber stopper with an alcohol swab.

2. Draw the saline into a sterile syringe, then slowly inject it into the Botox vial.

3. Gently roll (do not shake) the vial between your palms to mix—avoid creating bubbles, as they can degrade the neurotoxin.

4. Label the vial with the reconstitution date and time (Botox is stable for 4-6 weeks when refrigerated after mixing).

Step 2: Injection Techniques
Botox is highly technique-dependent. Key principles:

• Dilution & dosing: Adjust based on muscle mass (e.g., 20 units for glabellar lines, 10-15 units for crow’s feet).

• Depth: Intramuscular for dynamic wrinkles (forehead, frown lines); superficial for subtle softening.

• Avoid critical zones: Stay 1 cm above the orbital rim to prevent ptosis (drooping).

Step 3: Post-Treatment Care

• Advise the patient to remain upright for 4 hours and avoid rubbing the area.

• No strenuous exercise, alcohol, or blood thinners for 24 hours.

• Results begin in 3-5 days, with full effects at 2 weeks.

Dermal Fillers: Precision and Artistry

Product Selection:
Boho Aesthetics offers a range of fillers for different needs:

• Juvederm Voluma (cheek augmentation)

• Restylane Lyft (midface volumizing)

• Juvederm Ultra XC (lip enhancement)

Injection Methodology:

1. Cleanse the skin thoroughly and apply a topical anesthetic if needed.

2. Choose the right needle/cannula:

   • 27G-30G needles for precise lip injections.

   • Blunt-tip cannulas for safer nasolabial folds or temples.

3. Technique varies by area:

   • Lips: Use linear threading or serial puncture for natural volume.

   • Cheeks: Deposit filler supraperiosteally for lift.

   • Under-eyes: Microdroplet technique to avoid Tyndall effect.

Aftercare for Fillers:

• Ice intermittently for the first 24 hours to reduce swelling.

• Avoid makeup for 12 hours to prevent infection.

• Massage only if instructed (e.g., to smooth lumps in HA fillers).

Managing Complications: When to Intervene

Even with perfect technique, adverse reactions can occur. Act swiftly if you observe:

• Vascular occlusion (blanching, severe pain): Apply warm compresses and inject hyaluronidase.

• Allergic reaction (hives, swelling): Administer antihistamines or epinephrine if severe.

• Infection (redness, pus): Prescribe antibiotics and refer to a physician.
