babytox and microtox

Babytox and Microtox are new techniques developed by Dr Aamer Khan at The Harley Street Medical Skin Clinic. Dr Khan developed these techniques to provide his botulinum toxin clients with a more natural, less frozen and less shiny appearance.

Dr Khan's aim was to make his clients look younger, revitalised and yet natural. To stop them showing the tell tale signs that they have had "Botox", so it was not obvious that they had been treated. Dr Khan uses Azzulure to perform his treatments, a new Botulinum Toxin launched in the UK in 2009. Azzulure is the second botulinum toxin to be licensed for cosmetic use in the UK, Vistabel produced by Allergan was the first.

For those of you who are used to having "Botox" treatments, this treatment may not be for you.
Why you may ask?
Because with this treatment, you keep some movement in the treated area. The lines will improve, but will not go completely like they can do in the conventional botulinum toxin treatments.

What is the difference?
These treatments involve injecting smaller amounts of Botulinum toxin than are usually used, at different levels in the muscles and skin. More injections are generally needed but the needle is so small you can barely feel it.

What are the benefits?

The skin looks rejuvenated
Pores reduce in size and produce less sebum around the areas injected
Lines and wrinkles reduce but there is still some movement
You are less likely to have a brow droop or a "Dr Spock" appearance unlike the conventional methods
The price for these treatments is slightly less than the conventional botox treatments.
