Many people, especially those who feel they have a low pain tolerance, worry if Botox® will hurt. They often avoid getting Botox® because they’re worried that the needles will hurt.
However, the needle used to administer Botox® is so small that most people report feeling a slight pinch or stinging sensation. Most physicians use a very small, fine insulin needle (30 or 31 gauge) to perform the injections, which significantly reduces discomfort.

A few different factors can cause the discomfort or Botox® injection pain; a large gauge needle hitting a nerve receptor and/or poorly or wrongly mixed Botox® can both cause more discomfort than normal.
Also, If the Botox® was reconstituted with anything other than buffered saline, it does hurt. To reduce the discomfort of the injections your physician can use especially small, narrow-gauge needles, and can allow the reconstituted material to come to room temperature.
