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. It is fairly obvious if a person has had botox treatment because the change is visibly evident, and there still appears to be a small amount of 'stigma' attached to botox injections.
Discreet injections, called 'baby' botox, are available now though. Let's take a brief look at this.
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. 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. 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 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 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 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. Confidence levels are also a lot higher as their natural look is preserved as some of the common wrinkles are still present.
Risks with baby botox injections
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. Patients report mild bleeding and bruising at the injection site; this goes away without leaving any scar tissue. 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
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. In the future, there is no doubt that this may become the preferred treatment by many patients.
