What Age Should I Start Getting Botox? | When to Start Preventative Botox

There is no text book time to start taking preventative measures against aging. People in their 20s or their early 30s can benefit from Botox injections as frequently as once a year to reduce the tension on skin from muscle movements. With its proven effectiveness in treating and preventing wrinkles, Botox has become a popular option not only for those looking to address existing signs of aging but also for younger individuals seeking preventive measures.

Botox vs Dysport – Which wrinkle treatment is right for you?

Treating fine lines and wrinkles Botox (botulinum toxin) and Dysport are both neurotoxin medications that, when injected to the treatment area, block or reduce muscular activation in specific areas. Other similar neurotoxins include XEOMIN, Jeveau, and Daxxify. Commonly, these medications are used aesthetically to treat wrinkles and fine lines in areas like between the eyes (glabellar lines), frown lines, forehead lines, and the corners of the eyes.

They modulate the neurological communication between nerves and muscles by blocking or interfering with protein signals from…
