Quick question on needle size
I have always used 1", 25guage needles for glute shots. I am fairly lean. When I push the needle in, I go the whole way in and the barrel of the syringe will actuall dimple the skin, so the needle goes in pretty far.
It was recomended to me to use 1 1/2 23 guage for glutes.
Here is my question, I want to go to 1 1/2, 23 guage to make sure I go deep into the muscle. How far should the needle go in, fully or should some of it be visable? If I go the whole way in with the needle, should I still dimple the skin with the barrel of the syringe?
If the needle should be partly visable, it seems like it would be harder to steady.
