Everything to know about Micro-Botox/Dysport: A perfect alternative to a regular dose of Botox or Dysport
If you’ve been on the internet, then chances are you’ve heard of “Micro-Botox.” From A-list comedians to Tik Tok influencers, it seems like everyone is getting in on one of the latest aesthetic trends of the year.
Let’s take a look at what makes this approach different from regular botox injections.
What is “Micro-Botox?”
“Micro-Botox” is an aesthetic technique that uses neuromodulators such as Botox®️ or Dysport®️ in a small amount to tighten pores, reduce sweat production, and overall can improve your acne.
But what makes it different from regular Botox/Dysport?
The amount used is what primarily makes it different from using full doses of botox; however, there are some other distinctions to keep in mind when comparing the two techniques.
Since “Micro-Botox” is injected superficially into the skin rather than being injected directly, it’s used to target the skin only. This means that “Micro-Botox” does not completely smoothen out your wrinkles or fine lines.
Is it the same as “Micro-Dysport?”
Yes, “Micro-Botox” goes by many names such as:
- Micro-Dysport
- Baby Botox
- Intradermal Botox
- Mesobotox
- And so on…
What are the benefits?
There are many benefits to using “Micro-Botox” instead of – or as well as – a regular dose. These include:
- Reduced pore size
- Reduced oily skin
- Prevention of acne breakouts
- Improved symmetry of facial features or fine lines around the eyes due to the treatment of delicate facial muscles that can not be reached by regular Botox®️ injections
- Does not “freeze” any large muscles, therefore it does not affect your expressive or emotional facial features
- Reduce excessive sweating and oil production
- Reduce appearance of rosacea
Any side effects?
Like any treatment, there are side effects to keep in mind. The most common side effects include:
- Minor swelling
- Slight bruising
- Redness
- Irritation
- Uneven texture
How long does it last?
Just like any other neuromodulator, “Micro-Botox” can last anywhere from three to four months. Results may vary.
