Does botox reduce sensation to your face?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: No. But Botox works by paralyzing some muscle activity but has no effect on the peripheral nerves that supply sensation.

Not anesthetic: Botox is used to relax certain muscle groups but is not used as an anesthetic. Botox blocks the muscle contraction effect of a specific chemical and does not significantly affect sensory nerves.
