Baby Botox gets its cute name because it uses a micro-dose of the traditional botulinum toxin. Using a smaller amount of Botox allows for more subtle results, which is ideal for minimizing fine lines or creating a more natural effect.
Baby Botox is also great for adults in their 20s or 30s who are taking preventative action against wrinkles in the future.
Compared to regular Botox, Baby Botox uses less substance (fewer units), so it can be more affordable. It also produces a more natural look since the reduced amount of toxin leaves greater movement in the muscles at the treatment site.
Traditional Botox uses about 35 units per injection, whereas Baby Botox only uses around 10; this allows the dermatologist to focus heavily on treating a specific part of the face, allowing for an ultra-localized treatment.
Millennials and Gen Zers have been raving about Baby Botox on social media, but many are still skeptical. What is the point of paying for less of a treatment that’s already well-established? And if it’s a microdose, doesn’t that mean it's less effective or shorter-lasting? The answer is no!
Baby Botox offers a refreshed, rested appearance without appearing frozen. It's ideal for younger clients seeking to invest in preventative skin rejuvenation services while still maintaining their natural facial expressions. Baby Botox can help prevent future wrinkles while boosting your appearance.
The Baby Botox procedure is fast, easy and painless. You’ll start with a consultation where you discuss your treatment goals with our Registered Nurses along with Dr. Lisa Kellett at DLK on Avenue. Then, she will discuss your goals, assess the area and perform the injections.
The entire process takes 10-15 minutes, and the aftercare is minimal. Avoid touching or massaging your face for several days to prevent shifting the Botox, and please refrain from sweating or exercising for at least 24 hours.
At DLK on Avenue, we prioritize patient comfort and safety during every procedure. If you are nervous about injections, we completely understand. Our team will walk you through every step, answer all of your questions, and ensure you are 100% comfortable before the procedure.
Baby Botox lasts around three to four months, but maintenance treatments can help prolong the benefits. The results of Baby Botox are subtle, however, so they won’t suddenly vanish when the toxin wears off.
Dr. Lisa Kellett will give you a timeline for how long you can expect Baby Botox to last. She can also recommend a personalized maintenance schedule to enhance your results.
As with many cosmetic procedures, there are popular misconceptions about Baby Botox. We want to dispel these early on so you can feel confident about treatment.
Reality: Baby Botox is suitable for all ages but particularly beneficial for younger adults in their 20s and 30s who want to take preventative action against wrinkles or address fine lines.
The stiff appearance that sometimes occurs from traditional Botox treatments is often a result of the injector’s skill and quantity used. Having a highly qualified injector can increase your chance of desired results, and using Baby Botox can drastically reduce the chance of having a “frozen” look after treatment.
Reality: Micro-dosing Botox allows for an extremely localized and tailored approach to skin rejuvenation. This means that patients can use it to treat a highly specific part of the face, such as crow’s feet, brow lines, frown lines, and neck wrinkles.
At DLK on Avenue, Dr. Lisa Kellett’s team provides patients with personalized care and advanced skincare treatments. As a licensed dermatologist with years of experience, she is an expert in helping patients achieve natural-looking results.
