Rejuvenation without surgery has become more accessible, and botulinum toxin (or Botox) is one of the most popular procedures in cosmetology. It helps smooth out wrinkles, make the face look fresher and more well-groomed. But many people wonder: When should you start injecting Botox? Isn't it too early at 25 or 30? 🤔
Let's figure out together when botulinum toxin is really needed and what its benefits and risks are!
🔍 What is botulinum toxin and how does it work?
Botulinum toxin is neurotoxin, which blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles, temporarily relaxing them. This helps reduce wrinkles caused by active facial expressions.
🟢 What does Botox do?
✔️ Smoothes facial wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows, around the eyes (crow's feet).
✔️ Prevents the appearance of new wrinkles.
✔️ Evens out the oval of the face, helps with “drooped” corners of the lips.
✔️ Treats hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
🛑 What does Botox NOT do?
🚫 Does not affect skin turgor and elasticity.
🚫 Does not eliminate deep wrinkles and creases (this requires fillers or hardware procedures).
🚫 Does not enlarge lips – for this purpose it is used hyaluronic acid.
📅 When should you start getting Botox?
Age is not the main factor When choosing a procedure, it is more important to pay attention to the condition of the skin and the activity of facial expressions.
✅ Optimal time for Botox
🔹 25-30 years old – for the prevention of wrinkles, if any strong facial expressions.
🔹 30-40 years old – for the correction of existing wrinkles.
🔹 40+ years – Botox may be less effective because the wrinkles are already “fixed”. In this case, you need comprehensive approach (fillers, biorevitalization, hardware procedures).
🕵️♀️ How do you know when it's time for you?
✔️ You notice wrinkles even when you are at rest.
✔️ Your facial expressions are very active, and you constantly frown or raise your eyebrows.
✔️ A cosmetologist recommends Botox to prevent age-related changes.
🧴 Can botulinum toxin be used for prevention?
Yes, Botox can and should use for wrinkle prevention! 🌟 If you have active facial expressions, wrinkles may appear earlier, so botulinum toxin helps prevent them.
📌 What is important to know:
🔹 Botox does not “freeze” the face – if the correct dose is chosen, facial expressions remain alive.
🔹 The sooner you start, the less medication you will need in the future.
🔹 After 40 years, Botox has less effect, so it is better to start earlier.
⚠️ Myths about Botox
❌ Myth 1: “If you start early, it will be worse later”
👉 In fact, Botox helps reduce the depth of wrinkles in the future. It does not enhance aging after cessation of procedures.
❌ Myth 2: “The face will become still”
👉 It depends on the dose and the qualifications of the beautician. A good specialist will give a natural result.
❌ Myth 3: “Botox is dangerous”
👉 The drug has undergone numerous clinical studies and absolutely safe, if administered by a professional.
