BABY BOTOX VANCOUVER: PREVENTION
“Baby Botox” is rapidly gaining traction as an emerging treatment for early wrinkle prevention in Vancouver. Seen as in Byrdie and New York Times, baby botox is specifically tailored for our younger clientele without pronounced lines or creases. This treatment aims to slow down the visibility and development of these lines. Administering preventative dosing of Botox® allows you to retain more facial expressiveness than standard Botox® treatments. By preventing facial muscles from becoming overactive, we minimize the tendency of these muscles to become bulky, thereby delaying and preventing the formation of dynamic lines and textural changes of the superficial skin overlying these muscles.
QUICK FACTS
- Length of Treatments: 30 minutes
- Recovery Time: None
- Onset of Action: 3-5 days; Full effect at 10-14 days
- Cost: Varies with different muscle strengths and severity of lines

As Vancouver's best preventative treatment, neuromodulators offer a non-invasive option with minimal downtime. Dysport® and Xeomin® work by inhibiting muscle contraction to prevent the formation and development of wrinkles. These neuromodulators relax facial muscles, making dynamic wrinkles and lines less noticeable.

BABY BOTOX VANCOUVER: RISKS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS
At Sparrow MD, our team of highly skilled and certified medical professionals specializes in administering Botox® treatments with the utmost commitment to safety and excellence. Our procedures deliver temporary yet remarkable results. It's important to note that while exceedingly rare, incorrect dosing could potentially lead to temporary concerns, such as drooping eyelids or eyebrows. The paramount complication associated with Botox®, though limited in occurrence, pertains to temporary undesirable effects like facial nerve paralysis, facial asymmetry, and constrained smiles.
An extensive understanding of anatomy significantly mitigates these risks, ensuring your peace of mind. Following the treatment, transient redness, mild discomfort, and localized swelling at the injection site are expected, all of which naturally subside. Additionally, bruising, a common occurrence in injection procedures, typically resolves within 3-7 days. To optimize your experience, we recommend staying away blood-thinning agents like aspirin, NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen), vitamin E, ginseng, garlic, or other supplements for 1 week before your treatment. Should any bruising occur, our experienced doctors will provide personalized instructions to expedite your recovery process. At Sparrow MD, your safety, well-being, and satisfaction remain our utmost priorities.
