Botox injections have become an everyday treatment when it comes to enhancing the cosmetic appearance of the skin. More and more people opt for this treatment today not just because it is safe and effective, but because it is also very 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. Let's take a brief look at this.
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. 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. 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?
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 such as those under the eyes are not injected. 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
Patients report a significant improvement in their look and feel a lot younger following baby botox treatments, as is the case with botox injections. As their natural look is preserved because some common wrinkles are still present, confidence levels are also a lot higher.
Baby botox injection risks
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
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. No doubt many patients may prefer this treament in future.
