Many first-time Botox users are anxious about getting needles in their faces, and many people choose not to use Botox for that reason alone. Because very tiny needles are used and Botox injections are not given deeply, they actually don’t feel that bad. Since everyone has a varied threshold for pain, it is difficult to estimate how much something will hurt. However, the typical person only experiences a little pinprick sensation, and most people say that it was “no big problem” in hindsight. In general, upper lip injections hurt the most and crow’s feet injections around the eyes the least.

This is typically how a Botox injection session goes 

The patient is seated on a table, with their head resting on a pillow. After cleaning the injection sites, a topical anesthetic gel is administered. An eyebrow pencil is used to indicate each injection spot. The skin is hardly penetrated by the needle as it is introduced. Because facial muscles are so close to the surface, the injection doesn’t even need to go very deep. The correct quantity of units is then injected. Considering that Botox is injected as a highly concentrated solution, little liquid is actually required. The needle is swiftly removed after the Botox injection. A little elevated area of skin is typically left behind, and this swiftly heals in 10 to 20 minutes.

Several injections may be necessary depending on the region injected. For instance, the brow area needs 5 injections (between the eyebrows.) One widespread misunderstanding is that each injection site only receives one unit. Typically, this is not the case. For the usual brow injection, 5 injection sites requiring a total of 20 units at 4 units each site are required.

What to anticipate following your injections? 

Contrary to popular belief in the movies, Botox takes time to take effect. You might not notice the calming effect for a few days. After that, the muscles stay relaxed for a few more days. Two weeks will pass before you fully notice the effects of your Botox.

What is the duration of Botox?

 This is frequently highly changeable and varies from person to person. It depends on the quantity of units injected (more units = longer effect), the strength of the muscles, and the individual chemical make-up of each person. Your Botox treatment’s muscle-relaxing benefits should continue for three to five months. Most regular Botox patients go to the doctor three to four times a year. Your doctor will likely advise that a few extra units be injected the following time if your Botox is only lasting three months and you would like it to last longer.
