💉 Don't Fall for the "Baby Botox" Buzz: Why a Full Dose is the Only Way to Achieve Optimal Results

Baby Botox = Microdosing

The concept of "Baby Botox" involves using a smaller, "micro" dose of a neuromodulator (like Botox) to gently soften lines, often marketed as a "natural" or "preventative" treatment for younger or nervous clients.

However, The Oasis Med Spa believes this trending treatment falls short of delivering real, lasting results for three main reasons:

• It Doesn't Last: A full, recommended dose lasts 3 to 4 months. The smaller units used in "Baby Botox" wear off much faster—often in just a few weeks. This leads to more frequent, costly appointments over time.

• It's Not a "Preventative" Treatment: True wrinkle prevention requires fully relaxing the muscle to stop the repetitive movements that cause static wrinkles. "Baby Botox" only partially relaxes the muscle, allowing the movement that creates wrinkles to continue.

It's a "Guessing Game": Determining a full, proper dose is a precise art based on anatomy and muscle movement. "Baby Botox" uses a smaller, often random number of units, which can lead to asymmetry and unpredictable results (e.g., uneven eyebrow movement or persistent deep lines).
