This is sterile, isotonic 0.9% sodium chloride (normal saline) supplied as a 50-pack of 10 mL units. In an aesthetic clinic it is the everyday solvent for reconstituting freeze-dried products and diluting injectables, as well as for rinsing and irrigation.
What it is
Sterile, pyrogen-free isotonic saline — 0.9% sodium chloride in water for injection — presented as fifty 10 mL units. It is a simple, physiologically balanced solution, not an active treatment in itself.
What it is for
It is the standard diluent for reconstituting lyophilised powders (for example hyaluronidase) and for diluting or mixing injectable solutions, as well as for wound and field irrigation.
Why isotonic matters
At 0.9% the salt concentration matches body fluids, so it dissolves and carries products without causing the cell damage or stinging that pure water or a hypertonic solution could.
How it is used
A measured volume is drawn up to reconstitute or dilute the target product to the concentration set by the clinician; aseptic technique keeps the prepared solution sterile.
| Composition | Sodium chloride 0.9% in water for injection |
|---|---|
| Tonicity | Isotonic (physiological) |
| Presentation | 10 mL units, 50 per pack |
| Primary uses | Reconstitution, dilution, irrigation |
| Sterility | Sterile, single-use |
| Storage | Room temperature; discard any unused portion after opening |
- Use as the diluent to reconstitute lyophilised products (e.g. hyaluronidase) or to dilute injectables to the required concentration.
- Draw up only the volume needed and prepare under aseptic technique to keep the solution sterile.
- Check the unit is clear and undamaged before use; do not use if cloudy or if the seal is compromised.
- Treat each unit as single-use and discard any unused portion rather than storing it for later.
- Match the reconstitution volume to the target product’s protocol so the final concentration is correct.
- Dispose of used units in line with local clinical-waste regulations.
What is normal saline?
It is sterile 0.9% sodium chloride dissolved in water for injection. The 0.9% concentration is isotonic, meaning it matches the salt level of body fluids.
What is it used for in an aesthetic clinic?
Mainly to reconstitute freeze-dried products such as hyaluronidase, to dilute or mix injectable solutions, and for rinsing or irrigation. It is a solvent and carrier, not a treatment on its own.
How is the pack supplied?
As fifty 10 mL units per pack.
Why use saline instead of plain water to reconstitute products?
Because saline is isotonic, it dissolves and delivers products without the cell stress, stinging or damage that sterile water (which is hypotonic) could cause when injected.
Can a 10 mL unit be reused for several patients?
No. Each unit should be treated as single-use; draw what you need and discard the remainder to keep preparation sterile and avoid cross-contamination.
How much saline do I use to reconstitute a product?
That depends on the product’s own protocol — for example a hyaluronidase vial is commonly reconstituted with around 1.5 mL for filler correction. Always follow the target product’s instructions for the right concentration.
Does it need refrigeration?
No. It is stored at room temperature. Inspect each unit and only use it if the solution is clear and the seal is intact.
Is it a medicine or treatment?
On its own it is an inert physiological solution used for preparation and irrigation, not a therapeutic product. Its role is to safely carry or dilute other agents.

As a permanent makeup artist, maintaining a sterile environment is my top priority. These little pods are incredibly convenient for wiping down the brows during procedures. The plastic is sturdy but easy to open even with slippery gloves on, which is a major plus over cheaper alternatives.

These 10ml vials are a lifesaver for DIY skincare. The size is perfect for a full-face cleanse after microneedling, so I don’t have to worry about a giant bottle going stale. The twist-off cap is super smooth and doesn’t leave any jagged plastic bits like the cheap ones do.
