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 or 'baby' botox injections are available these days, however. Here we shall take a look at this briefly.
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. 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 does baby botox treatment target?
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 such as those under the eyes are not injected. 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 a nutshell, treatments are strategically limited to only certain areas of the face, preserving the natural look while offering all the benefits that botox brings with it.
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.
Risks with baby botox injections
The risks with baby botox injections are the same as the ones seen with regular botox, as the nature of the injection given does not change. Patients report mild bruising and bleeding at the site of injection, which resolves spontaneously without leaving any scars. 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.
