I Just Got Botox Injections and Now Have Small Ink Marks at the Injection Sites. What Should I Do?
Answer: Botox and ink marks
I'm afraid there is not enough information to answer your question precisely. If you mean that you just had it done, today and the ink marks remain and you're not sure how to remove them, you should wait four hours after the Botox and then rub gently with rubbing alcohol and a Qtip. There are different inks that doctors use on the skin and for the reason you mention, ink for botox, if used, should not be as durable as surgical marking pens. If however, you mean that you had botox done days ago and still have the ink, then it is possible that the ink is either very durable and will fade with each washing and exfoliation or it even could be a slight tattoo if the needle trapped ink in the dermis. Please see your doctor to help you eliminate the source of your dismay.

Answer: It is improbable that your injector inked your skin to guide injections.
If they did, please consider finding a new injector. No one should be inking the skin for this purpose. There can certainly be small skin bruises associated with the needle track. This can look like little red dots that disappear in a day or so.

Answer: Ask your injector about post-Botox marks
This is a question for your injector. Personally, I do not find it necessary to mark the injection sites.

Answer: Botox injections and marks
It is most likely that the small marks are tiny bruises caused by the injections. They will disappear in a few days and you can hide them with make-up until then.

Answer: Ink Marks Are Easy To Remove
These should fade over time – there are some products that we use in the office that should be able to remove them – please go back to your injector and see if they can use some of their stronger topicals to remove the ink.
