Men and women trust BOTOX® — a best-selling, prescription botulinum toxin injection — to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, correct drooping brows, and fix frown lines. While it’s most popular among patients over 35 years of age, many people are starting it younger to avoid signs of aging. As you make an appointment to discuss the anti-aging therapy with your skin surgeon, learn more in this guide about the advantages of starting injections early.

All About Preventative BOTOX®

Definition

Hartford BotoxEvery BOTOX® treatment blocks the contraction of certain facial nerves that are known to cause wrinkles. By beginning regular injection therapy in your 20s or 30s, you will train your muscles to prevent conditions like crow’s feet. A skin surgeon who is skilled in working with younger patients will ensure your face keeps its gentle, natural look.

Benefits

In addition to protecting your face against crow’s feet and mouth wrinkles, preventative BOTOX® provides many unique benefits. It will keep your skin smooth, make you look more energized and cheerful, and improve the appearance of gummy smiles. Routine treatments can also keep you from needing as many injections in the future. Talk to your doctor about how the treatments can enhance your unique facial features.

Candidates

Nearly everyone in good health is eligible for treatment. Patients can begin therapy at age 18. The ideal candidates are willing to have facial injections and commit to regular appointments. Women should not be pregnant or nursing.

Talk to your physician about your expectations before beginning a preventative program. You should also discuss potential risks as well as how often you will need to return to the office to maintain results. Bring a list of your current over-the-counter and prescriptions medications to your consultation appointment. You may need to avoid certain medicines or alcohol for a few days before each injection.
