When it comes to enhancing the cosmetic appearance of the skin, botox injections have become an everyday treatment. As a safe and effective treatment, more and more people also choose it because it is so 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. 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. Some people think current botox treatments can look unnatural, as they are aimed at getting rid of almost all lines and wrinkles on the face. Alternatively, baby botox treats only a few lines and wrinkles, while keeping some natural expression lines.
What is baby botox treatment targeted at?
Crow's feet (fine lines and wrinkles seen at the corner of the eyes), frown lines, and a few wrinkles on the forehead are the target of most baby botox treatments. 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 a nutshell, treatments are strategically limited to only certain areas of the face, preserving the natural look while offering all the benefits that botox brings with it.
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. As their natural look is preserved because some common wrinkles are still present, confidence levels are also a lot higher.
Baby botox injection risks
Regular botox treatment poses the same risks as baby botox because the nature of the injection given is the same. Patients report mild bleeding and bruising at the injection site; this goes away without leaving any scar tissue. 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
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.
