I had botox injections slightly more painful than usual a 27 gauge needle used instead of 32. Is this ok ? Both same length and 32 looked slightly thicker

Answer: Needles for Botox A 32 is actually finer than a 27. I am not surprised that the 27 was more painful.... The size of the needle will not affect the results, however. Hope this helps

Answer: Needles for Azzalure (Dysport) Injections Thank you for your question. The higher the gauge of the needle, the thinner it is. While needle size has no impact on the final results of your Azzalure treatment, a 27G needle is unnecessarily large. Larger needles are more uncomfortable for patients and have a higher risk of causing bruising. I typically inject Botox with a 31G needle to minimize discomfort. I hope this helps!
