This is one of the most common questions we receive regarding Botox. Some patients report the feeling of a pinch at the injection site. If you are concerned about discomfort, tell your technician and it’s possible to apply a topical numbing cream to make you more comfortable during your treatments.
The most common side effect of Botox is bruising at the injection site. This is usually minimal and dissipates within a few days. It is common for the individual injection sites to be tender to the touch for 2-3 days after the procedure.
