What Is Baby Botox?

Baby Botox — also called mini or micro Botox — uses smaller, precisely placed doses to gently soften lines while keeping natural expression. It’s ideal if you want a subtle, fresh look without appearing “done”.

A gentler approach to anti-wrinkle treatment

We tailor dose and placement to your unique facial anatomy to preserve movement and deliver refined, believable results.

What exactly is Baby Botox?

Instead of fully relaxing a muscle group, Baby Botox uses lower units placed with micro-precision to soften specific lines (e.g., forehead, glabella, crow’s feet) while keeping natural movement. Think of it as a refinement rather than a freeze.

Also known as: mini Botox • micro Botox • “tweakment” dosing

Common areas

  • Forehead lines (horizontal)
  • Frown lines (glabella)
  • Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
  • Bunny lines, chin dimpling, light lip flip (in selected cases)

Key benefits

  • Subtle & natural: softens lines while keeping expression.
  • Customisable: dosage and placement tailored to you.
  • Low downtime: quick procedure, minimal marks.
  • Great for first-timers: gentle introduction to injectables.
  • Maintenance-friendly: smooths and can help slow line formation.

Results vary; your practitioner will discuss realistic outcomes at consultation.

Your treatment journey

1) Consultation

We assess muscle strength, symmetry and skin quality, and map a micro-dose plan to match your goals.

2) Treatment

Micro-injections with ultra-fine needles; most clients describe brief, mild discomfort.

Baby Botox FAQs

How is Baby Botox different from regular Botox?
Baby Botox uses lower units with precise placement to soften lines yet preserve expression; standard dosing may reduce movement more strongly across an area.
When will I see results and how long do they last?
Most clients notice changes in 3–5 days, with peak effect at around 2 weeks. Typical duration is 3–4 months, varying by dose, area and individual metabolism.
Is there downtime?
Minimal. Expect tiny pin-prick marks or light redness for a short time. You can usually return to normal activities the same day.
Am I a good candidate?
Great for subtle refinement, first-timers, and maintenance. Not suitable if you’re pregnant/breastfeeding or have certain neuromuscular conditions. We’ll advise at consultation.
Can I combine Baby Botox with other treatments?
Yes — it’s often paired with skin boosters, chemical peels, or targeted skincare. We’ll design a plan aligned to your goals.
