Botox Treatment
Are Botox injections painful?
Botox injections are not painful as the needle used is extremely small and it normally causes a little or no discomfort. Majority of patients describe it as a slight pinch or stinging sensation. However pain tolerance is different in people.
How does Botox work in anti-ageing treatments?
Botox injections are targeted to specific muscles and when injected it works by temporarily blocking the nerve impulses to the targeted muscles which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines of ageing. These injections can result in smoother younger looking skin. You should notice the effects of the injections within a few days, and they don’t tend to spread too far from the site of injection.
What to expect in a Botox procedure?
For your Botox appointment, the targeted area will be cleansed and a topical anesthetic cream would be administered to lessen pain. After that, the injections will be given, and most people may feel a little pinch or sting. The Botox procedure is very quick and simple as the entire process would usually take less than 30 minutes.
Care after the procedure
Do not rub or massage the treated area for a day or so as the medicine may tend to spread in the neighboring unwanted area. The patient can resume normal activities soon and always seek expert advice and follow them for best results.
Results
The Botox injections start showing visible results fast like within 1 to 3 days. Always do a regular follow-up with your doctor to maintain good results.

Botox injections are reported to have mild side effects in some people. These vary depending on which condition the drug is being used to treat.
