Episode Transcript

As today’s aesthetic medicine landscape continues to evolve, injectables like baby Botox are stirring interest and curiosity. So what exactly sets baby Botox apart? According to Dr. Anjali Mahto, a consultant dermatologist at Self London, the difference is all about dosage. The smaller doses of botulinum toxin in baby Botox aim for subtle, refined results and are typically applied to more superficial areas. However, she stresses that regardless of whether you opt for traditional or baby Botox, the real key is the expertise of your practitioner and understanding your individual needs.

Interestingly, the longevity of baby Botox is similar to regular Botox, lasting around three to four months. Cost can vary, and while baby Botox might be cheaper due to the reduced amount of product used, clinics often price based on the skill required rather than the dosage itself. It’s crucial not to be lured solely by cost, as expertise and safety should be top priorities.

Dr. Mahto also highlights a growing trend: non-injectable alternatives like Sofwave, which are gaining traction in many clinics as effective options for those looking to either skip Botox or decrease treatment frequency. So, remember, it’s about finding what fits best for you both now and in the long term. As we wrap up this news for November 10, 2024, always prioritize consulting with a qualified professional before starting any treatment journey.
