The optimal time to begin Botox treatments varies based on individual factors such as age, areas of concern, family history, and sun exposure:
Age
Most experts suggest that the best age for preventative Botox is in your mid-to-late 20s and early 30s. This is when collagen and elastin production starts to decrease, making skin less supple and more prone to the appearance of dynamic lines. However, some people may notice fine lines or wrinkles as early as their mid-20s.
Areas of Concern
Different age groups often focus on different targeted areas:
• 20s: Forehead lines and curling in of upper lip
• 30s: Crow’s feet, frown lines, forehead lines, and bunny lines
• 40s: Crow’s feet, forehead lines, frown lines, and brow pstosis
• 50s: Crow’s feet, forehead lines, frown lines, and upper lip lines
• 60s: Crow’s feet, forehead lines, frown lines, downturned corners of the mouth, and tech-neck bands
Family History
If you have a family history of prominent wrinkles, you might consider starting Botox earlier to prevent developing similar lines.
Sun Exposure
Frequent sun exposure or use of tanning beds can accelerate skin aging. If you spend a lot of time in the sun, you might want to consider starting Botox earlier.
