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

Hi there-
The injections of botox are administered with a very small needle.
This size needle is the one used for most diabetic patients who give themselves injections several times a day.
Many clinicians help "numb" the site with ice, or for those who are very sensitive, with a topical numbing cream.
Each little injection is very quick and therefore the discomfort,if any, is very quick.
Most patients would tell you that the minor discomfort associated with the treatment was well worth the outcome they enjoy.

 Botox is injected in the muscle with very fine tip needles. The pain is very minimal.
You can ask to use ice before injection to help minimize the discomfort. There is also a topical numbing cream that can be applied 15 minutes before injection.
