    Detailed Answer

    Based on Dr. Bashi’s video, with additional information for clarity and context.

    Botox treatment uses small injections at selected sites. Some people describe a brief pinch or sting; comfort varies by person and treatment area.

    The injection portion of the appointment may be brief, but an assessment is still needed beforehand. Localized tenderness or bruising can occur after injections.

    Discuss sensitivity and concerns with the clinician, and follow the aftercare instructions for the specific treatment.
