Less Is More: Everything You Need To Know About ‘Baby Botox’
The minimalist movement is making a comeback and we couldn’t be more excited. It’s so inspiring to see people embrace simplicity, minimalism, and the life of less; it’s refreshing for those who feel overcrowded by things in their own lives or just want something different from what we’re used to seeing around us on social media.
This approach is not new to the beauty world, but what’s new in this era of modernity are these stunning looks that can be achieved with a mild touch. And whilst countless marketing ads revolve around the concept of ‘adding, applying ad covering up’, the secret has been revealed and at the core of it, it’s just about having great skin.
In recent years, an increase in the popularity of non-surgical procedures has occurred, with a whopping 40% drop in cosmetic surgeries since 2015. A huge 11,674,754 non-surgical procedures were performed in 2016 alone, with the number constantly rising.
An article published by The Surgery Journal highlights this, “our future consists of exciting, new emerging technologies, which may make minimally invasive surgery even more efficient, exciting, and safe.” This is down to the principle of people understanding that if they get a minimally invasive treatment, they are increasingly likely to not go under the knife.
The optimal word now is ‘timeless’ – being able to enhance what you already have without drastically modifying to completely change how you look. We can all agree that some Hollywood celebrities haven’t taken notice of this.
This is where ‘Baby Botox’ comes in! So, what is baby Botox, what’s the difference between Botox and baby Botox, and why are so many people talking about it?
Baby Botox, often referred to as micro-Botox is the same neurotoxin as your regular Botox but just in smaller doses. It’s exactly the same process, too. The botulinum toxin is injected into the target area and relaxes muscles to reduce movement. And, as a result, you’ll have fewer static lines.
So, what’s the normal dosage of traditional Botox, and how does it compare to baby Botox?
It depends on the area and the individual being treated. For example, males tend to have larger muscles, so they will likely require more Botox in a specific area than a woman. We won’t go into what units you require because that’s something for our medical practitioners to sort out but don’t worry they are experienced and will know exactly how much to inject. How much they put in will depend on what your expectations, needs and wants are. The words our clients often use is ‘natural and subtle’ and our practitioners will know you need ‘Baby Botox’.
But if you’re worried about not getting your desired look then don’t worry, we offer a complimentary tweak and review appointment within 2 weeks so if you need a little more then our practitioners will come back again to give you a top-up. It’s all done digitally, so look out for the email after 4-5 days and rebook.
Why might you choose baby Botox over regular Botox?
Some of our clients love the ‘frozen look’ and there’s nothing wrong with that, it tightens the skin and gives you that uber-fresh look. But for those that want something a bit more natural that blends nicely with into other parts of your face and neck giving you natural movement than ‘Baby Botox’ may be the one for you.
Who would benefit from Baby Botox?
We encourage first-timers to first have Baby Botox first to see how their muscles react and how it makes them feel. But as always, during the consultation phases, we’ll always discuss the best options for you and create a tailored plan suited to your needs. When the client is happy, we’re happy.
How long does Baby Botox last?
With the typical anti-wrinkle injections, the effect might last three to five months, whereas, with baby Botox, it will more likely last between two and three months.
In Summary
Baby Botox – just like your regular toxin treatments, just a smaller dosage.
Whatever you decide we always provide a consultation with each treatment and if you aren’t sure or want to think about it then you always have the option to arrange a treatment when you’re ready.
