The Supplies You Need to Start Your Mobile Botox Business

You need to have the right Botox business supplies to have a successful injectables business – here are the most important items that the team at Injectables EDU keeps in our Mobile Botox Toolkit at all times. 

Psst – before you get started on your Mobile Botox Toolkit, you need to know how to inject Botox®. If you haven’t already, check out the handy (and FREE!) Botox Comparison Chart to find a class to get trained. We’ve got a slew of consulting and training opportunities on our website – including in-person and virtual opportunities. Come get trained with the right Tox Skills + Business and Marketing 101 for day one confidence and success! 

Here’s what’s in my Mobile Botox Toolkit

Now, there are pre-made injection kits with Botox business supplies that exist out there, but you’ll pay a premium for the convenience. 

However, this is something you can totally do for yourself – and by comparing prices and performance for each product you use in your toolbox, you’ll know it’s only full of stuff you love. 

This list includes the items I, Cassie Lane (Trainer, Speaker, and Founder of Injectables EDU), personally use and where to get them. For certain products, you’ll need to open medical supply accounts to order, but many can be found for a better price on Amazon! 

First, you need a toolbox or way to store your items. 

This is the one I use to carry to in-home mobile Botox group sessions. It’s fairly small and light and works great for grab-and-go storage of all your botox business supplies. You can easily fit enough supplies to work a day at the office or a botox party. It opens up to have multiple trays inside that I can access during my treatments easily if I need to. 

But we’ve got even more options– here are the top 5 Mobile Botox toolboxes that come highly recommended from the folks in our Injectables EDU: Aesthetic NP Entrepreneurs free (and private) Facebook group:

1. For those who want their toolbox to be on wheels
2. For the no-nonsense medical professional
3. For the people who want extra security
4. For the “thanks, it has pockets” people
5. For the function over everything people

The top Mobile Botox Toolkit supply list

1. The mini-freezable ice packs* are great for the patient to hold on the upper lip before a lip flip. I also include these in my post-filler kits for people to use to ice with at home. 
2. I keep a single ammonia tab* inhalant just in case I get someone who passes out. This hopefully will sit in your toolbox collecting dust! It’s nice to have just in case. 
3. Having a church key* to open your vials works great. There are fancier bottle decappers, but just starting out it’s not necessary. Just be careful when you take the tops off, slowly go around the whole vial being careful not to shard the glass. The whole rubber stopper and metal rim on the top of the vial will pop out nicely. 
4. Alcohol swabs*- You’ll want to find the larger size alcohol swabs if you can. The Medline alcohol prep pads are good as well.
5. Bacteriostatic saline- This will need to be purchased through a medical supplier, i.e. Medline and McKesson. You will want the bacteriostatic saline, NOT preservative-free. It is the industry standard.
6. Insulin syringes- My preferred syringes are the Easy Touch brand. I use both 0.5 ml syringes* and 0.3 ml syringes* sizes. For the 0.5 ml insulin syringes you may prefer the 1/2 in length which is harder to find. You can buy these supplies from multiple medical suppliers.
7. Gauze*- I prefer the non-woven 2 in X 2 in types.
8. Disposable headbands*- These are great to be able to keep the hair out of the face. You do not want these headbands to be too tight. If they are, it will create a lifting effect on the face. That can distort your anatomy and affect treatment. 
9. Needle clippers*- These are such a neat little way to deal with your smaller gauge needles. This will not work on anything over a 30g needle. But for mobile botox injections, it works perfectly and holds 1000 needle tips.
10. White eyeliner pencil*- This is a great tool for marking the face. Do not use a dark color pen, etc. that will not be easily wiped away. You’ll need a sharpener as well. Remember you don’t inject through these marks so as to not drag it under the skin.
11. Lidocaine topical*- I don’t use this lower strength often, but it is helpful for any injections around the lip. Put it on when you clean the skin at the beginning of your procedure and it should be a bit numb by the time you are ready to inject that site. In addition, make sure to wipe off and re-clean the site prior to injection. Ice cube tucked into a disposable glove  also works well.
12. Beauty bar*- These little vibrating bars can be placed on the patient’s clavicle as a great distraction. Gate-theory of pain anyone?!
13. Face wipes*- These are great for make-up removal after a day of work, working-out, etc. In addition, I use this as a general cleanser before using the alcohol to clean my injections areas.
14. Mirror*- You’ll want one that fits in your toolbox. However, not a bad idea to keep an extra in case one gets dropped. I give the mirror to my clients when we are talking about treatment plan.
15. Gloves*- SensiCare Nitrile gloves are good. You can get these off Medline. Most importantly, You are changing gloves frequently and washing or hand sanitizing so you want to get a type you can fairly easily get-on and off.
16. Dental bibs*- I set up a new one of these with every client and set up my supplies on top. They provide a nice clean surface with a bit of water-repelling properties. It’s great to place on top of a table or surface as needed for in-home tox sessions as well
17. Business cards-  Vistaprint and Canva are great options. You want to get good quality paper with your cards. You are selling a luxury item, and even your card should reflect that
18. N95 mask- You will want to wear an N95 when you inject. Keep in mind, many injection treatment areas make it impractical for your client to wear a mask during treatment.
19. Ear-saver if you want to give your poor little ears a break, I highly recommend these for even short sessions of wearing your mask. Comfort is key!
20. Travel Cooler*- This cooler has 4 freezer packs as well as specific little pocket holders for vials. It’s a great size, you can fit multiple boxes/vials of tox in here. Add a lock to the zipper to keep it secure.
21. Mini Ring Light*- This little ring light clips right onto your iPhone or iPad. It’s great for traveling purposes. This is not going to cut it for stellar before and after photos, but it helps when you are traveling light. Not always reasonable to have a full-on ring light! 
22. Temperature monitoring*- It’s important to log the temperatures of your refrigerator. I like and recommend the Tempi.fi. This temperature monitor is unique as it connects to an app. We love an automatic way to achieve temperature monitoring!
23. Injecting chair– Now this goes beyond mobile botox, but we always get questions about the chairs we use in our own medical spa business. When you are ready to go to the next level, take a look at Spa Numa SWIVEL Fully Electric Treatment Table 4 Motors. Honestly, it’s worth it to invest in this from the get-go. It looks so much more professional and is so much more enjoyable to use than a lesser expensive option. If you really don’t want to start with something that fancy, I recommend this good starter chair.
