Botox injections are now common practice to improve the skin's appearance. Not only is treatment safe and effective, it is also extremely affordable, making more and more people opt for this treatment today. 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. Let's take a brief look at this.
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. 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. Baby botox is a way of treating some lines and wrinkles, and maintaining some of the lines that come with a person's natural expressions.
What does baby botox treatment target?
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 such as those under the eyes are not injected. The eyebrow may also be injected to help open up the eyes a bit more, and this can have remarkable effects on overall appearance of the patient. 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
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.
Risks of 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. 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. 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. In the future, there is no doubt that this may become the preferred treatment by many patients.
