- BOTOX® Cosmetic injections create only minimal and temporary discomfort, which is greatly reduced by the use of a topical numbing cream.
- The procedure takes 5 minutes, and you can return to work or daily activities immediately.
- Your doctor may ask you to squeeze and relax the muscles that were injected several times during the first day to help disperse the BOTOX.
- Some people experience a slight twitching of the muscles as the BOTOX begins to do its work relaxing those muscles.
- Occasionally, some patients experience a mild headache for the first few days also.
- Some may notice drooping of their upper eyelid(s). This is due to BOTOX affecting the muscle that opens the eyelid. If this happens, your doctor can prescribe an eyedrop that will help open your eyelid until that effect wears off. With an experienced injector, you should not have this happen.
- Results of BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are noticeable in a few days, and last for several months.
