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. 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. 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. On the other hand baby botox is aimed at treating just a few lines and wrinkles while preserving certain natural expression lines.
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. Other areas, like under the eyes, do not receive injection. 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 summary, the natural look is kept because the treatments are strategically limited, but all the benefits of botox are delivered.
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.
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 bleeding and bruising at the injection site; this goes away without leaving any scar tissue. 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
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.
