What is baby botox? the new trend among millennials

Baby Botox answers the widespread question of what is the most appropriate age to inject Botox. A priori it seems to be established at 30 or 35 years, but the reality is that Botox is a treatment that eliminates and also prevents wrinkles.

Therefore, if you are of legal age and are one of those who prefer prevention rather than cure, Baby Botox is the aesthetic medicine technique you are looking for and if you are between 30 and 40 years old, but you want a treatment with a very subtle result, too. We explain why. 

What is Baby Botox?

Baby Botox is the reduced version of the aesthetic medicine treatment par excellence.

Botox and Baby Botox are microinjections of botulinum toxin. The Baby Botox treatment is performed with less doses than those used for the usual Botox infiltrations and the result is a uniform face, free of wrinkles. Still, in this case, the main objective above all is to prevent them and not to alter the naturalness of the face under any circumstances.

All About the Baby Botox procedure

It consists of the infiltration of Botox in low doses using a very fine needle into the facial muscles to relax their activity.

It does not require anesthesia, it is performed in consultation and the procedure lasts less than half an hour. As it is an outpatient treatment, you can return to your usual routine immediately after having Baby Botox, which will also not leave any marks or scars.

María Ormaza, Director of Beauty is You points out that "although we continue injecting Botox under the usual method to weaken the muscle, with this technique we above all seek to prevent the appearance of wrinkles on faces in which there are hardly any lines and that is why we use minimal quantities since in these cases the muscles of our patients are less active than those people who already have marked expression wrinkles.”

Our maxim, is that less is more, so if you undergo this treatment we will meet you after 15 days to see the result, and if necessary we would perform a new mini Botox infiltration.

The areas where we can apply Baby Botox if you are a candidate for the treatment are:

• Frown

• Crow's feet

• Forehead

• The area surrounding the eyelids

When will I start to see results and how long does the effect of Baby Botox last?

The effects of Baby Botox microinfiltrations begin to be visible 48 hours after treatment and after 10 or 12 days your face shows the final result.

This usually lasts up to 6 months, however, it will depend on the quality of each patient's skin whether it is kept for a longer or shorter period of time.

Who is Baby Botox recommended for?

Baby Botox, as its name indicates, is recommended for younger faces without marked wrinkles but whose muscular anatomy begins to contract very early in areas such as crow's feet and the area between the eyebrows, where wrinkles are finally formed and marked.

Baby Botox allows us to prevent its appearance very early since we temporarily paralyze the muscle and helps us buy time for the most unsightly signs of premature aging.

However, it is not a treatment only indicated for younger faces, since there are also more mature ones who, despite being a certain age, do not gesticulate as much or their facial muscles have not developed much strength.

Should I follow any special instructions before and after having the Baby Botox treatment?

Our specialists in advanced aesthetic medicine will carry out an initial assessment and analyze your skin, which they will be able to determine the real age of your skin in addition to measuring other damage and alterations caused by the sun.

They will also determine in this first visit if you are the profile to undergo this treatment and achieve the expected result.

If so, if you decide to have Baby Botox, you should not worry because it is a very discreet treatment, it allows you to lead a normal life immediately and it also does not leave bruises or any type of mark.
