BABY Botulinum Toxin Type A
The term Baby Botulinum Toxin Type A was used for the first time in America and refers to a new technique that was developed after Martin Scorsese observed that several actors were speechless and unable to play their roles due to Botulinum Toxin Type A.
These actors began to look for treatments that would give them a more natural result, maintaining a large percentage of their expressiveness and at the same time the treatments would be shorter so that they could quickly return to the cinema.
Baby Botulinum Toxin Type A treatment involves injecting smaller doses into the usual areas.
The results are significantly similar to the treatment with usual doses but we observe more expressiveness of the mimic muscles while the effect will last about 2-3 months and after 2-3 treatments this duration gradually increases.
The Baby Botulinum Toxin Type A treatment is ideal for young people with strong expression to slow down the development of expression lines and for adults who have not developed deep expression lines
How long does the effect last?
The action of Botulinum Toxin Type A is visible within 3 to 5 days, while the final result is achieved in 10-15 days.
The first time you do Botulinum Toxin Type A the results will last 4 – 5 months. If you follow the treatment plan completely, after 2 – 3 treatments, the duration will increase and exceed 6 months.
