When Is It Time for Botox Treatments?

Botox is a non-surgical treatment to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It works by blocking the signals that prompt the muscles in the face to contract. This smoothes out the skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles in older patients, but Botox can also be used in younger patients to prevent the future development of wrinkles.

Why Younger Patients Are Turning to Botox

Previously, Botox was virtually only used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles after they had already formed. This means that the typical age for Botox patients was around 45 and over. Botox treatment softens wrinkles that form due to repeated muscular contractions in the face and has been a trusted aesthetic treatment for decades. Now, patients in their 20s and 30s are opting to undergo Botox Injections well before wrinkles have already formed.

Why are people undergoing Botox treatment so early in life? Botox provides excellent benefits as a preventative measure for signs of aging. By undergoing Botox earlier in life, you can prevent wrinkles from forming in the first place and slow down the aging process. 

The Benefits of Preventative Botox

Botox assuages the muscles in the face that cause wrinkles around the eyes and on the forehead. By receiving Botox treatments in their 20s or 30s, Millennials can curb the development of deeper wrinkles caused by muscle contractions. 

Since Botox is minimally-invasive, it won’t cause scarring and doesn’t require downtime. This makes it an excellent choice for busy Millennials who don’t want to take time to recover from a cosmetic procedure. Additionally, the results are visible just a few days after the procedure, making Botox a perfect fit for the generation that adores instant gratification. 

By receiving Botox in your 20s or 30s, you can avoid more extensive cosmetic treatments for wrinkles later in life. It’s always ideal to prevent a problem rather than to treat it, and Millennials have the opportunity to avoid future wrinkle treatments by receiving Botox now.
