If you are already seeing wrinkles, it may be too late. While there is a myriad of different ways to treat wrinkles and reduce the appearance of fine lines (such as Botox), in order to prevent them you need to start early. That raises the question, how early is too early? What age is a good age to begin preventative Botox? The Botox experts at Siti Med Spa in San Diego have the answer.

How Does Botox Work?

In order to understand how Botox can prevent wrinkles from forming, it is first instructive to understand how Botox works. Botox relaxes the muscles in your face and the overlying skin, preventing the skin from tensing up into folds when you make expressions. Wrinkles are formed by muscle contortions and folds in your skin over time, so the earlier you prevent these contractions the less likely you are to develop noticeable wrinkles and fine lines.

Can You Get Botox Before Turning 18?

We strongly dissuade anyone under the age of 18 to get Botox unless it is to treat a serious medical condition or medical problem. 18 is too young to use Botox, even as a preventative method.

Should I Get Botox Injections in My 20s?

When you are in your 20s it may be time to begin to think about preventative Botox. However, whether Botox is right for you in your 20s largely depends on the individual. Here are a few factors to determine if you are someone who should get Botox injections in your 20s.

Do You Tend to Squint?

If you are someone who often squints, you might want to consider preventative Botox in your 20s. If you squint all of the time, you are at a large risk of developing vertical frown lines above your nose, so preventive measure should be taken.

Do Lines Only Show When You Smile or Frown?

It is natural for anyone to have lines on their face when they smile, frown, or make a different facial contortion. However, it may be time to consider preventative Botox when those lines continue to be visible even when your face is at rest. If you see lines around your mouth and eyes even when you are calm and serene, you may want preventative Botox.

Do You Have an Expressive Face?
