A Low Key Approach To Botox

By Denise Sendora


Botox injections are now common practice to improve the skin's appearance. As a safe and effective treatment, more and more people also choose it because it is so affordable. A small amount of 'stigma' still seems to be attached to botox injections though, and it is evident when someone has had botox treatment because the change is visible.

Discreet injections, called 'baby' botox, are available now though. We'll look at this here.

Baby botox: what is it?

While botox treatment improves the appearance of lines and wrinkles, people who receive botox injections like to keep their natural look. Aimed at getting rid of almost all lines and wrinkles on the face, current botox treatments can result in a look that can to some appear unnatural. Alternatively, baby botox treats only a few lines and wrinkles, while keeping some natural expression lines.

What is baby botox treatment targeted at?

Crow's feet (fine lines and wrinkles seen at the corner of the eyes), frown lines, and a few wrinkles on the forehead are the target of most baby botox treatments. Areas that are not injected include those such as under the eyes. To help open up the eyes, the eyebrow may also be injected, and this can have a remarkable impact on the patient's overall appearance. In short, strategically placed treatments offer all the benefits of botox, but by targeting only certain areas of the face the natural look is preserved.

Advantages

As is the case with botox injections, patients report a significant improvement in their look and feel a lot younger following baby botox treatments. Confidence levels are also a lot higher as their natural look is preserved as some of the common wrinkles are still present.

Risks of baby botox injections

The nature of the injection given does not change, so the risks with baby botox injections are the same as the ones seen with regular botox. At the site of injection, patients report mild bruising and bleeding, but this resolves spontaneously without scarring the skin. The procedure is performed under sterile conditions, so infections are rare. There are hardly any reported cases of severe reactions, but allergic reactions could occur to components within the botox injection, although these are rare.

Conclusion

Baby botox is becoming more and more popular due to the fact that it preserves the patient's natural look, while getting rid of most of the fine wrinkles on the face. No doubt many patients may prefer this treament in future.
