Is Botox ® Safe?

Based on the method of injection, it will only affect the targeted muscles and does not reach any other part of your body. The risks are extraordinarily minimal when Botox ® is administered by qualified medical professionals.

Do Botox ® Injections Hurt?

No. Envision an acupuncture needle. Botox ® is injected with a very small needle of similar size.
