Does the BOTOX hurt?

Some patients may feel a ‘pinch’ when being injected, but your cosmetic specialist will likely apply ice or a topical numbing cream to numb the treated areas.

How long does a BOTOX treatment last?

Botox varies from patient to patient as it is metabolized differently in each person’s body, but the results typically last up to four months.

How much does BOTOX cost?

There are many factors that come into play regarding the cost of BOTOX treatments, which varies from area to area and practice to practice. Some practices may charge per unit injected, while some may charge per area that is being treated. Other factors include the qualifications of your injector, the time of year, and whether any discounts are available.
