Everything You Should Know About Baby Botox
The word “Botox” often invokes a lot of feelings in people. Many are excited about the idea of less fine lines on the forehead and eye area, while others are worried about needles or the stereotypical (but very uncommon) “frozen face” associated with this treatment. Fortunately, there’s a trendy solution for those who are just getting started with Botox, along with those who only need a slight enhancement - and it’s called Baby Botox. Don’t worry, no babies are involved here… this treatment simply refers to using lower doses of this injectable to refresh and restore youth to your face - without going overboard. Think of it like a complexion pick-me-up, or a tinted moisturizer in the form of an injectable neurotoxin! Here’s what you need to know about Baby Botox, and why it should be on your to-do list for your next appointment at Youth Haus.
Why should I get Baby Botox?
Before we tell you about Baby Botox, let’s first talk about the way this cult favorite treatment works. Botox is an injectable neurotoxin that is distributed with a needle into certain areas of your face, with this solution basically “weakening” the muscles to smooth out and prevent wrinkles - resulting in a younger, fresher appearance. No more Crow’s feet or forehead lines! However, sometimes you’re just looking for a slight touch-up, as opposed to a full-blown makeover… and there’s a guaranteed way to get a subtle enhancement and natural results from your treatment: Baby Botox.
As the name suggests, this treatment involves using lower doses of Botox to achieve an effective, yet completely natural look. We’re talking about less fine lines around the eyes, with full ability to make as many eye movements as you’d like. Or around your brows for Brow-tox, without cartoon arches that look way too high. Baby Botox is ideal for people of all ages, genders, and lifestyles - especially those who desire beautiful results, yet also want nobody to know that they’ve had any work done. That’s the dream, right? Due to the smaller dosage, this solution can even be placed into the more uncommon areas of the face that aren’t meant for traditional Botox… like the “bunny lines” on the nose or Marionette lines around the mouth that can make you look chronically sad. Discuss with your practitioner which areas of the face you’d like lifted with Baby Botox, and watch as your look receives a natural and radiant boost.
How long does it last? Are there any side effects?
How lost does Baby Botox last? Generally a few months, although this also varies by individual and depends on other factors such as injection site, age, and lifestyle. While you’ll need regular maintenance treatments to upkeep your results…a Botox treatment also helps to “re-train” your muscles and prevent future wrinkles from forming. Pair your quarterly Baby Botox sessions with daily SPF and Vitamin C serums, and you’ll have the most natural, envy-inducing look that works for all ages.
As far as what to expect after treatment? The low dosage that comes with Baby Botox means that side effects are very unlikely. You may experience some very light bruising, small bumps on the skin, or a minor headache… all of which should be gone no more than 24 hours after treatment. Baby Botox is the whole package - ready to restore (or maintain!) your youthful radiance with a trendy take on this popular treatment.
