Has anyone ever experienced facial pain after a Botox injection?

There can be some pain after Botox that should resolve in a few days. If it persists, I recommend following up with your Doctor. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Its very uncommon to experience pain after Botox, some discomfort in the injection site is possible but usually not very noticeable. It will take about 1-2 weeks to see the full result of the treatment. If for any reason you are experiencing itchy redness I would recommend following up with your Doctor.

Although not very common there can be some discomfort in the face after Botox injection.  this is short-lived and has no bearing on the results

So odd symptoms are common after botox including facial pain, and in my experience, hundreds of other odd symptoms too. I think it is down to making us acutely aware of that part of our face. Having said that, i have seen infection post botox injection so make sure it isn't red or enflamed but otherwise, as your botox kicks in and you think less and less about it, i suspect your pain will settle. Hope that helps, Adam Goodwin

Thank you for your question.  In my experience, most patients only experience a mild pin-prick sensation with each Botox injection.  Occasionally, some people may develop a mild headache a few hours after injection, particularly if it is their first Botox treatment.  Persistent facial pain is not common after Botox - please follow-up with your injector to discuss your concerns.  Best of luck!
