What is the Difference Between Botox and Baby Botox?

Baby botox by LH Med Spa

When it comes to wrinkle-smoothing and skin-preventative treatments, Botox remains a top choice. But a newer trend—baby botox—is making waves for those seeking more subtle, natural-looking results. At LH Med Spa, serving Madison and Livingston, NJ, we’re here to help you understand the difference between Botox and baby botox—and which option is right for you.

What is Baby Botox?

Baby botox is a technique that uses smaller, strategically placed doses of Botox to deliver a more natural result. Unlike traditional Botox, which aims to freeze facial muscles to minimize wrinkles, baby botox relaxes muscles just enough to soften lines while preserving movement and expression.

This approach is ideal for first-time patients, younger clients, or anyone looking to prevent wrinkles before they become deeply set.

Key Benefits of Baby Botox

  • Natural-looking results without a “frozen” appearance
  • Preventative care for those in their 20s and 30s
  • Perfect for small treatment areas or those new to injectables
  • Quick appointments with minimal discomfort and downtime

Baby Botox vs. Traditional Botox

While both treatments use the same FDA-approved neurotoxin, there are a few key differences between Botox and baby botox:

1. Dosage

Baby botox involves fewer units per area compared to traditional Botox. This lighter approach results in a softer look while maintaining natural facial expressions.

2. Results

Traditional Botox tends to give more dramatic results that last up to 5 months. Baby botox, on the other hand, typically lasts 2 to 3 months and provides a subtle enhancement that’s easier to maintain and adjust.

3. Cost

Because baby botox uses fewer units, it’s often more cost-effective, especially for those testing the waters with injectables for the first time.
