The rise of 'baby botox' and dispelling botox myths.

Once upon a time it was ‘en vogue’ to have enough Botox that you never move your forehead again. Today, clients are opting for a more soft, relaxed look. If this sounds more your style, have you thought about the ‘baby botox’?

‘Baby botox’ is just enough to soften the fine lines like crow’s feet, and still be able to move your forehead and eyebrows.  Just enough for no one to recognise you’ve had a treatment until your best friend, husband, wife, or partner tells you how happy and refreshed you look about 7 days after it happens.  Best of all, you can pop in to see our nurse in your lunch break, or after/before work.
 
At The IV Lounge our RN’s know how to get you the ‘baby botox’ look, and not only that, it won’t break the bank.  Our mantra is: a little regularly is better than a whole lot all at once.
 
While we are talking Botox, lets dispel some myths:
 
Myth 1: Your face will freeze up. Not true if you have small amounts, you will still be able to move your forehead and lift your brows.
 
Myth 2:  It’s expensive. This is all relative, if you have a large amount of treatment, naturally the price will build. Most of our clients pop in for a quick boost, and the price can be as little as $150. Regardless of cost, you can always AfterPay your treatment!
 
Myth 3:  It hurts. This varies per person, but you can feel a little prick throughout your treatment. Different parts of the face are more sensitive, but for those finicky areas, we have the best thing in the world…free happy gas!!
 
Myth 4:  It’s unsafe. Botox has been used in medicine for over 100 years, it is used to treat neurological patients, hyperhidrosis (excessive seating), migraines and a myriad of other conditions, there are numerous research papers on the use and safety of Botox.
 
Myth 5:  Botox builds up in your body. It doesn’t!  New nerve impulses are regenerated in 3 or 4 months, which is why you need repeat treatment to maintain your results.  Once you stop having Botox your muscles will eventually return to their pre-treatment state.
 
Myth 6:  Botox is only for wrinkles.  No way, we treat all sorts of areas and conditions.  Migraines, excessive sweating, lifting the chin, softening the jawline, lifting your eyebrows, raising the corners of a dropping mouth, neck bands, and more. Come in for a consult to see how Botox can help you in ways you may not have known. ​
