One of the most well-known treatments for improving your appearance through reducing wrinkles and lines on your face is Botox. Botox is a very safe, well-tolerated treatment for the aforementioned purposes. It has a decades long history of use, and the uses of Botox have only increased from the purpose of wrinkle reduction to many different alternative purposes such as mitigating jaw tension and pain, assisting with migraines, an overactive bladder, and shutting down sweat production in areas such as the armpit.
Today, we’ll be discussing an even more simple, intuitive application of Botox that has been seeing an uptick in use—Baby Botox! The Herschthal Practice has been providing Botox, and subsequently Baby Botox in Palm Beach County for years.
What is Baby Botox?
Don’t let the name fool you. Society hasn’t gone mad and started giving babies Botox. After all, why would those picturesque icons of youthful glow and perfect skin need Botox? No, Baby Botox is just like the regular Botox you would visit The Herschthal Practice to receive. The difference lies in the dosage. Ordinarily, Botox is administered for wrinkle reduction and easing lines on the face. It stands to reason then, that Baby Botox is doing that, but on a smaller scale.
For Baby Botox, you’ll be receiving a microdose of Botox as compared to a “regular” dose. An important distinction here is that what is considered to be regular varies among providers and patients. How many units of Botox that are administered does vary among providers and a patient’s needs.
Should You Get Baby Botox or Regular?
When it comes to Botox, a less is more approach can be very beneficial for patients—especially if they’ve never received injections before.
However, the primary reason that individuals opt for Baby Botox is because depending on the person’s face, a much smaller dosage of Botox can render similar benefits as a full dose, but can give a much more natural looking outcome.
That isn’t to say that using regular doses is wrong or ineffective, as mentioned, it completely depends on the person’s face, the goals of the patient, as well as the judgment and skill of the provider injecting Botox.
An option to consider is that you can always get both. A person may opt for more units of Botox in an area such as the forehead where a deep wrinkle or line can develop, but may choose a Baby Botox approach for the more mobile and expressive parts of the face such as the mouth and areas around the eyes.
