The most common areas of choice being the forehead. Used to smooth lines such as ‘frown lines’ and around the eyes smoothing and preventing ‘crows feet’. But, did you know, medical professionals are now using Botox in other areas of the face to create more aesthetic enhancements.

Masseter Botox

The Masseter muscle is the muscle located between the cheek and the jaw. This muscle is responsible for aiding in chewing. In some cases, the masseter muscle can cause problems such as clenching of the jaw, this gives the appearance of a wider face. Botox in this muscle can help relax the muscle and create a slimmer facial silhouette.

The Lip Flip Botox

Botox can be injected into the middle of the upper lip to help relax the orbicularis oris muscle. Doing this creates a very slight drop and curl upwards of the lip, which gives the appearance of a fuller pout.

Necklace Lines

‘Necklace bands’, ‘turkey neck’ are just some of the common terms used for this problem area. Overstimulation of the platysma muscle, that runs from the lower cheek, down, over the clavicles and across the curve of the neck is most commonly responsible for causing these lines. Botox can be injected into the Platysma to relax this muscle, giving a smoother more taught appearance to the neck area. Less turkey and more Cleopatra!

These treatments are more advance than the more familiar areas of Botox we all know. It is, always recommended seeking out a highly skilled medical professional to undergo any of these treatments to ensure suitability.

Now, don’t get us wrong, both females are absolutely stunning, however both have a different look when it comes to aging.

What is the difference?

Baby Botox®, is simply injecting less solution into the muscle to create a softer appearance. Whilst still noticeably smoothing lines and wrinkles. This technique allows the client to have movement in the facial muscles resulting in the ability to still show facial expressions.

Why would I choose Baby Botox®?

Aimed at the clientele that maybe haven’t tried Botox® and want to dip their toe in, or the client that wants to maintain a natural, ‘has she, hasn’t she’? look.

Increasingly we are seeing more of the 30 something brackets of clients opting for this technique to keep them looking fresh but maintain their natural facial expressions. According to Glamour, over half (51%) of women aged 16-29 would consider getting cosmetic enhancements either now, or in the future.

What does our expert say…

We asked our Cosmetic doctor, Paul Effiong, what his thoughts are on Baby Botox®…

I think Botox® is a wonderful treatment, it can significantly reverse the signs of aging very quickly, simply and safely when being performed by the correct practitioner. Baby Botox® is effective in creating a more natural look for the patient by not restricting full facial movement. I recommend Baby Botox® for the younger patient that wants a little smoothing here and there. It is important to remember, Botox® relaxes the muscle, so maintaining the health of the skin is still key to maintain that plump glowing appearance.

Our verdict

Baby Botox® is a great ‘first timer’ treatment, or for someone looking for a ‘just had a facial’ look. Choosing the right practitioner is key for this method, someone with experience in performing this treatment who understands measures as this is key to desired results.
