Hello my dears! I am here with new information, which will soon be dazzling in everyone's Instagram feeds.
This time let's talk about botulinum toxin and the new trend associated with it - micro botox.
It was born as a derivative of the main trend, which last year turned out to be very successful in the United States - microdosing of drugs that are completely or partially (in some states) banned in the country.
Dermatologists in New York and Los Angeles predict success for the "second wind" of Botox. Micro-botox refers to the introduction of a very small volume of botulinum toxin, which can narrow pores and reduce sebum production, which is very important for those with oily skin with acne.
We already know that botulinum toxin is not only able to smooth the forehead and correct sagging corners of the mouth, but also to get rid of profuse sweating in the armpits and feet (not forever, but on 6-8 months you can forget about hyperhidrosis).
Renowned New York plastic surgeon Chaneve Jeanniton (founder of Brooklyn Face & Eye Clinic) states that micro-botox only works on the upper layers of the skin and does not smooth out wrinkles that are caused by muscle contraction. This, in fact, distinguishes micro-botox from the usual.
The introduced micro-dosage of botulinum toxin into the upper layers of the skin will only control the production of sebum and relieve redness. Shrinking the pores is a bonus.
A little about the risks. As with other injection procedures, it all depends on the beautician. Inject a little deeper - and botox only paralyzes muscle contraction, visually the effect of a plastic face will be noticeable. For dry skin, this procedure is not recommended for obvious reasons. Contraindications are similar to traditional botox.
By the way, injections in micro-botox are made 2-5 times more than in traditional botulinum toxin injections. That is, if 5-20 injections are required to correct the face and smooth out wrinkles with botox, then in the case of micro-botox, the number of injections is from 20 to 100. As you can imagine, there will be more cuts on the skin. But everything heals within a week.
Karin Grossman, a board-certified dermatologist based in Los Angeles, whose office has been visited by many celebrities, speaks positively about the new procedure. In her opinion, micro-botox "softens" the facial expression: that is, a person just has a visually normal skin type, without redness and sebaceous areas.
The effect of soft and normal skin after micro-botox will last for 3-4 months.
The procedure has several names: micro-botox, baby botox and mesobotox (not to be confused with mesobotox, their difference in injection depth).
The article is for informational purposes only. Whether the procedure is right for you or not is not up to me and the omniscient commentators to decide, but the doctor.
On my own behalf, I will say that micro-botox definitely has the right to life, and it will be 100% popular, advertising will soon crawl from all cracks. Do you know why? Because traditional Botox doesn't look young. It just gives the effect of a frozen (or plastic, call it what you will) face. This effect is noticeable.
Kylie Jenner, whatever you say, but at 23 does not look. She looks much older now. What is the point of such procedures? And micro-botox, according to American dermatologists, does not have its own specific effect, it just becomes less fat and reddens. There is even an opinion that it will help in the complex treatment of acne. Time will tell.
