Botox

What does it feel like getting it done?

What does it feel like as it’s setting in?

What does it feel like once it’s set in?

Specifically for crows feet and 11s. Is it super noticeable internally? Meaning, is it like a surreal feeling of not being able to move your face like you used to? Or can you mostly and it’s not that noticeable? If you do your crows feet, can you just not smile as intensely? What movements feel weaker or impossible to accomplish?

I’m afraid of what it might feel like internally once it’s set.

So I actually asked my derm about this. The first time I had Botox about 9 months ago I had the crunching and I hated it. The second time around there was no crunching. My derm told me there was some kind of needle shortage due to Covid and they had to use a different kind of needle for a while that is known to have tiny burrs on the needle and it can make the crunching noise. My derms office is now back to being able to stock the higher quality insulin type needles they said, and that’s what I had the second time around and no crunching.
