Botox injections have become an everyday treatment when it comes to enhancing the cosmetic appearance of the skin. 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.
What is baby botox?
People who undergo botox injection treatments prefer to preserve their natural look while reaping the benefits of botox treatment on their lines and wrinkles. Some people think current botox treatments can look unnatural, as they are aimed at getting rid of almost all lines and wrinkles on the face. On the other hand baby botox is aimed at treating just a few lines and wrinkles while preserving certain natural expression lines.
What is baby botox treatment targeted at?
In most cases, baby botox treatments are directed at treating crow's feet (fine lines and wrinkles seen at the corner of the eyes), frown lines and a few wrinkles on the forehead. Areas that are not injected include those such as under the eyes. One area that can have remarkable effects on overall appearance of the patient is the eyebrow - it may be injected to help open up the eyes. In summary, the natural look is kept because the treatments are strategically limited, but all the benefits of botox are delivered.
Advantages
After baby botox treatments, as is the case with botox injections, patients report a significant improvement in their look and feel a lot younger. With some of the common wrinkles still present, confidence levels are also a lot higher because their natural look is preserved.
Baby botox injection risks
Regular botox treatment poses the same risks as baby botox because the nature of the injection given is the same. Patients report mild bleeding and bruising at the injection site; this goes away without leaving any scar tissue. Infections are rare as the procedure is performed under sterile conditions. 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
Because it preserves the patient's natural look, while getting rid of most of the fine wrinkles on the face, baby botox is becoming more and more popular. There is no doubt that this may become the preferred treatment by many patients in the future.
