i get my botox at emory movement disorder clinic in
atlanta. i go once every three months. the number of
injections vary. the amount is always two vials. i
really do not know how much is in each. the doc is
quite noted as a dystonia expert.  she varies which
muscles gets some based on how each is doing.
