What should you expect during the injection? 

Cosmetic Botox is injected into facial muscles, which blocks nerve signals to those muscles.

The muscle activity that causes the frown lines is decreased, and a smoother look results. Without contracting muscles under the skin, wrinkles are difficult to form.

During the procedure, the nurse will clean your face, and the specialist will inject Botox with a fine needle in different places, depending on the area being treated.

They will ask you to move the muscles in your face to find the best points for the injection.

This simple non-surgical procedure is typically performed in outpatient clinics; it takes only a few minutes and doesn’t require anesthesia.

Is facial Botox injection painful?

Any injection may be painful. However, Botox is usually injected with a tiny needle, so the pain will often be minimal.

Furthermore, the injection sites can be numbed with a topical cream twenty minutes before the procedure; it will also help reduce the pain.

After the injection, you may not feel comfortable once the effect of the anesthetic cream has finished, but this feeling will fade after hours.
