How To Choose The Right Needle For Your Injections - Intramuscular VS Subcutaneous

Have you ever wondered which needle to use for your injection? In today's video, we take a look at exactly where you're injecting the testosterone and how the different layers of skin, subcutaneous fat tissue and muscle will determine which length needle to use for your injection. The three important factors to consider when choosing the correct needle size are: 1) Injection method (Intramuscular or Subcutaneous) 2) Injection site (Glute, Quad, Deltoid, Stomach) 3) Body Size (Skinny/Smaller, Average, Larger/Fatter) You typically use shorter needles for Subcutaneous injections because they don't have to go in as deep. This is usually the 3/8 - 5/8 inch needles (about 0.5"), which is the 27-25G needle. For intramuscular needles, you typically use a slightly longer needle because it has to get through the fat and into the muscle. Typically the 1 - 1.5 inch needle (23-25G) is used for glutes and quads, and 5/8 - 1 (25G) inch for the deltoid. These needles are for the average person. Naturally, if you are more or less overweight, and have more or less fat than the average person, you may need to adjust your needle length accordingly based on the 3 factors discussed above. For example, if you're a larger person injecting into the glute, a 1.5 inch needle would be better than a 1 inch needle. As a baseline, stick with what is normally used in most cases, then adjust if necessary.
