When it comes to enhancing the cosmetic appearance of the skin, botox injections have become an everyday treatment. More and more people opt for this treatment today not just because it is safe and effective, but because it is also very affordable. 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. 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. Areas that are not injected include those such as under the eyes. 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 short, strategically placed treatments offer all the benefits of botox, but by targeting only certain areas of the face the natural look is preserved.
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. With some of the common wrinkles still present, confidence levels are also a lot higher because their natural look is preserved.
Risks of baby botox injections
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. 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
Baby botox's popularity is growing because of its effectiveness in preserving the patient's natural look, while eliminating most of the fine facial wrinkles. There is no doubt that this may become the preferred treatment by many patients in the future.
