Baby Botox
Botox is one of the top aesthetic procedures
performed in recent decades. Micro-Botox, popularly known as baby Botox is one
of the latest trends in injectable Botox procedures.
Baby Botox treatments involve using lower
doses of Botox such as instead of using 25 units in a particular area, you may
use 10 units to add volume to your face and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
The goal of baby Botox is to provide a face that is younger and smoother
looking without the frozen expression.
Besides the volume used in baby Botox, the
technique used also plays a role. When your practitioner is precise on the
exact location of the injection then he/she can use lower doses to deliver a
more natural and tailored look.
The ideal candidate for Baby Botox is someone
who has healthy skin, no previous reaction to botulism toxin, and does not have
hepatitis, blood pressure, or any other bleeding condition. Also, if an
individual has deep folds, baby Botox will not work on them as it works best
for someone with moderate to fine lines.
How Baby Botox works
Baby Botox works just like the traditional
Botox with the difference being baby Botox goal to achieve a more
natural-looking effect.
Botox works by blocking the nerve signals that
make the muscles contract. When injected into the muscles, Botox temporarily
paralyzes the targeted muscles until it wears off after a few months. This
reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles because the muscles cannot
trigger the formation of creases.
Although baby Botox uses the same science as the traditional Botox, it involves using smaller doses that have fewer effects on the face thus making the results less dramatic. Your face will feel less frozen and more flexible, plus it’ll be hard for someone to notice that you’ve had Botox.
The target areas for baby Botox include:
Brow furrows or forehead wrinkling
Crow’s feet
Frown lines
Neck and jawbone
Lips
Baby Botox procedure
During your consultation, your practitioner
will take you through the kind of results to expect as well as explain the
dosage of the Botox to be injected.
During the procedure, your face may be
sterilized with an alcohol swab, and mild local anesthesia may be applied at
the target site to minimize the discomfort. Baby Botox is injected into the
facial areas you had requested. The treatment takes only a few minutes, and you
can resume your normal activities immediately after.
What to expect
There is no downtime associated with baby
Botox hence the recovery is quick. However, you should avoid rubbing or massaging
your face while the Botox settles.
