Botox injections have become an everyday treatment when it comes to enhancing the cosmetic appearance of the skin. Not only is treatment safe and effective, it is also extremely affordable, making more and more people opt for this treatment today. 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.
These days however, discreet or 'baby' botox injections are available. Here we shall take a look at this briefly.
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. 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 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. Areas that are not injected include those such as under the eyes. 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 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
As is the case with botox injections, patients report a significant improvement in their look and feel a lot younger following baby botox treatments. As their natural look is preserved because some common wrinkles are still present, confidence levels are also a lot higher.
Risks with baby botox injections
Regular botox treatment poses the same risks as baby botox because the nature of the injection given is the same. At the site of injection, patients report mild bruising and bleeding, but this resolves spontaneously without scarring the skin. Infections are rare as the procedure is performed under sterile conditions. There are hardly any reported cases of severe reactions, but allergic reactions could occur to components within the botox injection, although these are rare.
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.
