Botox injections are now common practice to improve the skin's appearance. More and more people opt for this treatment today not just because it is safe and effective, but because it is also very 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.
These days however, discreet or 'baby' botox injections are available. We'll look at this here.
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. 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 that are not injected include those such as under the eyes. 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 short, strategically placed treatments offer all the benefits of botox, but by targeting only certain areas of the face the natural look is preserved.
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. Confidence levels are also a lot higher as their natural look is preserved as some of the common wrinkles are still present.
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. 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 rare allergic reactions to components within the botox injection, and there are almost no reported cases of severe reaction.
Conclusion
Baby botox is becoming more and more popular due to the fact that it preserves the patient's natural look, while getting rid of most of the fine wrinkles on the face. No doubt many patients may prefer this treament in future.
