Microbotox, which is becoming more well known as "Baby Botox", is turning out to be good for more than just frown lines and wrinkles. For those who have never heard of it, microbotox is the technique of using many tiny doses of botox injected in a grid pattern across the entire face. It differs from traditional botox injections, which tend to focus on higher doses of the product in targeted areas more prone to expression lines and wrinkles. So what are the benefits of this innovative approach to injectable wrinkle treatments?
1. IT CAN IMPROVE SKIN QUALITY
Everyone who has tried botox injections has seen how much it can smooth deep wrinkles in common areas like the glabella and crow's feet, however, microbotox takes this a step further. Microbotox injections follow a grid that covers the entire face, targeting the superficial fibers just beneath the surface of the skin that are responsible for the fine lines and wrinkles that can subtly form on the face and neck over time. The smaller doses of microbotox will cover those areas, diminish the size of your pores, and reduce the appearance of rosacea to quickly give you an overall improvement in the texture and quality of your skin. If you're planning a significant event such as a wedding, baby botox will be an ideal option for you to get the perfect look.
2. IT WON'T FREEZE YOUR FACE
A common misconception about botox is that it will leave your face completely frozen and expressionless, especially if it's injected everywhere. However, this is more the result of bad technique than the product itself. Experienced aesthetic physicians such as Dr. Tomar examine your face's unique structure and determine where your injections should be placed to give you results without unnaturally freezing your expressions. And the micro doses used in this new technique are not enough to entirely freeze every muscle, so you can still preserve most of your natural expression while effectively preventing fine lines.
3. IT CAN MAINTAIN SUBTLER RESULTS OVER TIME
Microbotox can actually be an excellent maintenance strategy over time for anyone looking for subtler results than traditional botox. Typically, botox injections are administered every 30-60 days and the treatments are repeated once the results wear off. However, with lower doses spread out over time (the doses are about 1 quarter to 1 half of a full botox dose), it can maintain the original look for an extended period of time. You can even look at it as getting your hair trimmed between more drastic cuts.
4. THE RESULTS DON'T LAST AS LONG
This fact makes it ideal for patients preparing for a big event that need a potent, overall refresher of their skin in addition to botox, or patients looking to improve their skin texture over time. Since it's a lower dose, it normally lasts for 30 days. Patients that repeat the treatment monthly for an extended period of time noted that the texture and appearance of their skin improved significantly over time.
5. IT CAN PREVENT PREMATURE AGING
Regular botox patients understand that traditional botox in common areas such as the forehead, crow's feet, and mouth works well for preventing prominent expression lines in those areas. However, baby botox is becoming popular among an expanding number of patients because of its ability to prevent fine lines from occurring until much later in life, reducing rosacea, and smoothing the skin's overall texture in a much more subtle way.
