This is a question people commonly asked because Botox is something that people seek as a first cosmetic procedure because it has minimal downtime and minimal risk. Botox is not very painful. We use the smallest bore needles we can get our hands on. If you’re concerned about it you can even ask your practitioner for numbing medication that’ll make the procedure even better.
Tiny needles, feels like a tiny little sting in the areas that are injected. There may be a small drop of blood, you may have a mild swelling of the skin in the area where the injection was performed which should go away within minutes afterward. So in all, Botox is very safe and is one of the least painful cosmetic procedures.

Cosmetic injections like BOTOX® and Dermal Fillers are the most popular, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure in the U.S. Cosmetic injections offer immediate anti-aging effects, with minimal discomfort, a low risk of side effects, and virtually no downtime.
A life worth of laughing, smiling, and other facial expressions create dynamic wrinkles that accumulate around the eyes, mouth, brow, and forehead. BOTOX,® and similar neurotoxins like Dysport, are clinically proven to dramatically diminish these expression lines that crease the face with signs of aging. BOTOX® is FDA cleared formulas containing Botulinum Toxin A, which safely suspends a muscle’s ability to contract. When injected directly below expression lines, BOTOX® relaxes the muscles that are causing dynamic wrinkling, effectively smoothing out crow’s feet, smile lines, forehead wrinkles, and other expression lines that age your appearance.
