How Does ‘Baby Botox’ Work?

You may know Botox® as the No. 1 treatment for erasing crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. Botox’s popularity is undeniable, and you can get the treatment repeatedly if you like your results the first time.

Pure Bliss Med Spa offers conventional Botox to people in Sandy Springs, Georgia, as well as “Baby Botox,” a modified version of the treatment. Experienced cosmetic nurse practitioner Asha Hill, NP, customizes your treatment based on your goals.

Are you curious to learn more about Baby Botox (Microtox®)? Here’s what you should know about the treatment:

What Baby Botox can do

Let’s start with what Baby Botox can do. Just like regular Botox, Baby Botox softens wrinkles and fine lines. You can use it to target creases in these common areas:

• Forehead
• Brow area
• Around the lips
• On the lips

The key difference between Baby Botox and regular Botox is the dosing: Baby Botox uses less product to achieve a very natural result. There are also differences in the treatment technique.

How Baby Botox works

Like conventional Botox, Baby Botox works by deactivating nerves in the targeted area. This relaxes the muscles nearby, which temporarily erases wrinkles and fine lines formed by those muscles. Baby Botox only works on dynamic wrinkles, which form in this way.

While conventional Botox uses around 35 units to treat a targeted area, Baby Botox uses just 10 micro-injections. The results tend to be more subtle and less “frozen” than regular Botox.

While treating your wrinkles with Baby Botox, Asha uses a careful technique to administer the micro-injections. This ensures the Botox goes into specific areas and doesn’t spread to others.

You can expect Baby Botox results to last for 2-3 months, and after that you can return for more if you choose to do so.

Are you a good candidate for Baby Botox?

You might be interested in trying Baby Botox if you’ve never had Botox before and want to get a feel for how it feels and what the results look like. Otherwise, you might be interested in the more subtle result it can offer.

In any case, Asha reviews your medical history and goals to make sure they align with what Baby Botox can do. She may recommend regular Botox or another cosmetic treatment if she believes there’s a better fit for you.

Depending on your goals, you might opt for a more comprehensive cosmetic treatment plan at Pure Bliss Med Spa. Alongside Baby Botox, you can get fillers, laser treatments, or facials to refresh your appearance.
