In this blog post, our skin care experts will explain how Botox slows the aging process so you can maintain your youthful looks for decades.
When can I start using Botox?
To get the most benefit from , we recommend waiting until you noticewhile at rest. This means that your face must have a neutral expression while checking for wrinkles. It’s completely normal for people to have lines around their eyes or forehead while smiling or grimacing. This isn’t a sign of aging, but rather a sign ofhow your skin creases when the facial muscles move underneath. Over time, the volume and thickness of your facial skin decreases so that these temporary creases become permanent.
If you start to notice fine lines and wrinkles while your face is at rest, you should consider Botox as a possible beauty treatment. is most effective when used before facial lines and wrinkles are deeply entrenched.
Is Botox effective in my 20's and 30's?
Botox prevents any wrinkles you have now from deepening over time. Many of our patients start Botox treatments in their 30s when they first notice faint wrinkles and lines. Botox paralyzes the facial muscles underneath these trouble spots to prevent further creasing of the skin.
There is a window of opportunity when wrinkles first appear and can be significantly reduced by Botox, usually between the 30s and 50s. Keep in mind that you’ll need to continue Botox injections every few months to keep enjoying smooth youthful skin. Some patients notice wrinkles at a younger age because of extenuating factors like smoking, sun damage, or even genetics.
What types of wrinkles and lines does Botox treat best?
Botox works best on wrinkles and lines that haven’t had a chance to deeply crease the skin, which is why we recommend Botox injections at the first sign of aging. Botox works best on , forehead lines, and that haven’t had a chance to deepen. While Botox can decrease the appearance of deeper wrinkles, you won’t have as dramatic an effect than if you had gotten Botox sooner.
How does Botox reduce the appearance of wrinkles?
Botox temporarily paralyzes the muscles in your face. When muscles are paralyzed, the skin is no longer able to crease and deepen wrinkles. The effects of Botox wear off after a few months, which is why you’ll need to visit a medical and beauty spa for another round of Botox.
