Does a patient feel any sensation after Botox is injected?! I've never had it done but curious if there is any weird feeling since it relaxes the muscles?!

Answer: Feelings after Botox Botox only affects the nerves responsible for motion. Therefore, you will not feel numbness, pain or "weird" feelings where the Botox was injected. However, many of my patients are aware of their inability to move their forehead muscles like normal. Not weird, just aware. And many of them tell me that, when the Botox wears off, the act of moving their forehead again feels "weird", like they have forgotten how it feels to move their forehead. I have used Botox to "train" people NOT to move their forehead as much, because they can sense when they are moving their forehead, where they were unaware of it in the past. Hope this helps.
