Botox®: What is the Right Age to Start?
You have probably asked yourself these two questions a million times before?
- When is it OK to start Botox® injections?
- How do I know if I need Botox® done?
Botox® is the most common technique used for facial rejuvenation today. Much of its popularity is due to the fact that you don’t need to go under the knife. Botox® injections leave you with instantaneous results with little to no recovery time.
Botox® is derived from purified protein toxin “Botulinum toxin” that works by relaxing the targeted muscle. Botox® is not only used to remove wrinkles. It is commonly used to prevent the appearance of new ones. It is also used for treating excessive sweating!!!
When is the Right Age to Begin Your Botox® Injections?
The answer is different for each person. It largely depends on the type of the skin you have, your facial expressions, and your lifestyle. Where some develop wrinkles in their early 20’s, others might not see any visible age signs until their mid-30’s or later. As your trusted Toronto plastic surgeon, Dr. Adibfar will take into consideration all the internal and external factors that can help determine if Botox® injections are right for you. During this time, Dr. Adibfar will also review the entire process of facial rejuvenation with you.
People with thinner skin complexions will often develop wrinkles earlier in life. Botox® injections can be performed once the very first wrinkles appear.
More and more people from across Toronto and Canada are beginning Botox® injections in their 20’s. This isn’t simply because they have a lot of wrinkles, but because they were educated by their Toronto plastic surgeon on how to prevent the signs of early aging. Some of the major benefits of Botox® injections in your 20’s include:
- Preventing lines from forming by reducing the muscle movement in a wrinkle-prone areas
- Your muscle will learn to move less in the area where wrinkles are most likely to form
- This procedure blocks nerve signals earlier, which allows you to have injections less frequently as you age
In order to preserve the youthfulness of your skin, it’s important to begin taking care of it early in life.
