Who should do baby Botox?

There is absolutely nothing that compares to a baby’s soft and glowing skin. Holding a new baby with perfect skin is miraculous and it is hard to take your eyes off that face! Those perfect rosy cheeks and smooth skin swaddled in your arms are incomparable and one of life’s most beautiful moments. In the Botox injectables arena, a reasonably new term is Baby Botox, cleverly nicknamed to emulate that baby skin. But it is not for babies. 


Baby Botox (or mini-Botox) is a very gentle injectable procedure that is less extreme than regular Botox because the candidates for it are, well, in terms of adult aging, often the babies. 

But that is not always the case. In our 30’s, tiny lines and wrinkles begin to show, hardly noticeable and certainly not bothersome for most people. The nice thing about addressing these early is to prevent those lines from getting worse as the process of aging rears its head in our 40’s and 50’s. Baby Botox is designed to deliver just enough to relax the beginning signs of lines, with hardly noticeable results. These low dosage injections create a well-rested, refreshed look to your skin. Using a quarter to a half of a regular injection dosage, Baby Botox is a great subtle solution for many clients. There are some unique benefits to Baby Botox that has resulted in its growing popularity. If you are one of these three types of clients, mini-Botox may be the perfect solution for you. 


  1. The Cautious First-Timer 

Baby Botox is a great way to start small and see how it all works. It is the classic result we all want; to feel better and have everyone notice but no one to know what we did. Some people are nervous or cautious about the idea of injectables, so beginning with these micro-injections gives a client a first introduction to the face of injectables. It will make a difference in your appearance and your confidence in yourself and non-invasive aesthetic treatments. 

2. The 20 or 30-somethings

Aging does not happen overnight - your face and skin have benchmarks of aging that begin in your mid-20’s. While skincare and protecting your skin with SPF is the best prevention at this time, many men and women feel busy and overwhelmed with life in their 30’s and may not be taking the time to invest in their skin in the same way. The active movement of muscles in the face begins to establish lines that can be slowed down with Baby-Botox. Baby Botox prevents further wrinkles and lines from deepening and is an effective way to keep your smooth baby face as long as possible. 

3. The “Specific Area” Seeker

Baby Botox allows a very personalized approach to target specific areas of concern. The technique is very precise and super-targeted. A common spot clients like to try microinjections is the crow’s feet around the eyes. Your trusted and expert aesthetician 

can customize a treatment to deliver the best results for your unique goals and is great for delicate areas.

4. The Upkeeper

Some people just like to go for a haircut every month to avoid their hair ever looking like it needs attention. The same goes for the Upkeeper client. This client would prefer to come in for a monthly Baby-Botox rather than wait till the regular Botox procedure wears off after 3-6 months and those wrinkles and lines begin to show up again. They far prefer to upkeep and maintain their smooth skin and youthful appearance all the time with the lower doses of treatment done more regularly. 


The critical part of Botox is trusting your medical aesthetic professional. Curate a plan that works for your goals and you are comfortable with, to see if Baby Botox is right for you.
