Wrinkles At A Young Age

Advantages Of Botox At An Early Age

Most of my patients think about using Botox in their mid to late 40’s or 50’s. This is the time facial wrinkles are quite prominent. Even though Botox minimizes fine lines in the forehead, in the upper nose and crows feet, these lines are now permanent. I have found that by injecting these facial wrinkles earlier in their aging process (early to mid 30’s) this will delay and possibly prevent the deep wrinkles we develop later in life. By paralyzing those muscles early, our skin will continue to stay youthful. NeuroToxins (Botox, Dysport) temporarily paralyze facial muscles. Some of my patients have very strong muscles which accentuate the aging process. This can cause a scowling or angry appearance between the eyebrows and deep forehead wrinkles. When I see a patient in their 30’s who have these types of muscles, I strongly suggest Botox for the reasons mentioned. This treatment plan may also delay fillers for the prominent lines that develop. Please contact my practice with any questions or to schedule a complimentary consultation.
