A Low Key Approach To Botox

By Denise Sendora


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. However, there still appears to be a small amount of 'stigma' attached to botox injections as the change is visibly evident, making it fairly obvious to everyone if a person has had botox treatment.

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 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

Patients report a significant improvement in their look and feel a lot younger following baby botox treatments, as is the case with botox injections. With some of the common wrinkles still present, confidence levels are also a lot higher because their natural look is preserved.

Risks with baby botox injections

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. At the site of injection, patients report mild bruising and bleeding, but this resolves spontaneously without scarring the skin. The procedure is performed under sterile conditions, so infections are rare. 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

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. There is no doubt that this may become the preferred treatment by many patients in the future.
