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.
For those still concerned about pain, numbing cream can be applied to the treatment area before the procedure to further minimize any 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.
Botox® injections typically cause minimal discomfort, often described as a slight pinch or stinging sensation, comparable to a bug bite. To further minimize any discomfort, practitioners may use fine-gauge needles and can apply numbing cream to the treatment area before the procedure.
