Are there different quality Botox needles?

September 26, 2016
Asked By:Rick77 in Baton Rouge, LA

I recently had my fourth Botox tx by the same doc. I am a guy and get about 100 units. The pain level the first three times was surprisingly small. This last time, however, some sticks really hurt. Aware there are different gauge needles, I am wondering if there are also different quality needles? A female friend who sees the same doc said her pain was so bad that she is going to find a different doc. Thanks!
