t needle-side-up, until the slight air bubbles that are at the top are pressed out. Once a bead of oil has appeared at the top of the needle, allow it run down the surface of the needle, (provides lubrication). 7. Hold the syringe like a dart. Use the other hand to stretch the skin at the injection site and simply push the sharp clean needle in. 8. After inserting it deep into the muscle, pull back on the stopper for a few seconds to make sure it does not fill up with blood, (which would indicate that the needle had been injected into a blood vessel). If this occurs, simply pull the needle out, switch the needle again, and try another area.9. Providing there is no blood present in the syringe, slowly press the stopper down until all the oil is injected. 10. Quickly pull the needle out and take another alcohol swab and press firmly on the injection site. This will minimize bleeding, if there is any, and by firmly pressing on the injection site and slightly massaging it, some of the soreness may be eliminated. It is important that the liquid is not injected too quickly as this causes more pain at the site during the injection and in the proceeding days. 11. Return the plastic caps to shield the needles and make sure they are discarded properly. *To avoid discomfort and excessive scar tissue at the injection site, it is not wise to inject more than 2 ccs of solution per shot. It is also not prudent to use the same injection site more than twice a week (once a week is preferred)....
