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. However, there still appears to be a small amount of 'stigma' attached to botox injections as the change is visibly evident, making it fairly obvious to everyone if a person has had botox treatment.
Discreet injections, called 'baby' botox, are available now though. Here we shall take a look at this briefly.
What is baby botox?
While reaping the benefits of botox treatment on their lines and wrinkles, people who undergo botox injection treatments prefer to preserve their natural look. Current botox treatments are aimed at getting rid of almost all lines and wrinkles on the face, and 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?
Mostly, baby botox treatments treat a few wrinkles on the forehead, as well as crow's feet (fine lines and wrinkles seen at the corner of the eyes) and frown lines. 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 summary, the natural look is kept because the treatments are strategically limited, but all the benefits of botox are delivered.
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. As their natural look is preserved because some common wrinkles are still present, confidence levels are also a lot higher.
Baby botox injection risks
Regular botox treatment poses the same risks as baby botox because the nature of the injection given is the same. At the site of injection, patients report mild bruising and bleeding, but this resolves spontaneously without scarring the skin. The risk of infection is rare because the procedure is done in sterile conditions. Allergic reactions may occur to components within the botox injection but these are rare and there are hardly any reported cases of severe reactions.
Conclusion
Baby botox's popularity is growing because of its effectiveness in preserving the patient's natural look, while eliminating most of the fine facial wrinkles. There is no doubt that this may become the preferred treatment by many patients in the future.
