Is Botox Painful? I heard botox cosmetic can be really painful to get injected.

Prior to your Botox treatment, your doctor will be applying a cold pack or topical anesthetic cream to numb your skin. With the topical cream, your Botox procedure will be virtually painless. Even without the cream and ice, your pain will be minimal. We describe it as a pinching sensation. . It's a very quick and easy procedure. However, I highly recommend you research your medical professional thoroughly before your Botox treatment. Good luck.

The treatment involves using a small number of extremely fine needles to inject a very small volume of product. The discomfort experienced is minimal and a cold pack can be used to reduce discomfort if necessary.

Thank you for your question. This really depends on the person. Also, some areas are more painful than others. Usually botox is quick compared to fillers. Best of luck!Dhaval M. PatelDouble board certified Plastic surgeonHoffman EstatesBarringtonOakbrookChicago
