Most people believe that Botox® isn’t a thing they want to think about until much later in life, but there has been a sudden increase in people getting Botox® at younger ages that have specialists reconsidering this common idea.
Preventative Botox®
This is the new name for the practice of younger women getting Botox® in their twenties and thirties. Since Botox® is now FDA approved for people who are eighteen years and older, the number of younger patients looking to get Botox® has increased drastically. The reason? They’re toughening up the muscles underneath their skin to stop them from creating wrinkles before they even have a chance. This is to ensure their skin looks as healthy as possible for as long as possible.
How Botox® Works
Wrinkles, one of the most common signs of aging, occur because over time the skin on your face will weaken with laughing and smiling and every other expression of emotion. This is the sign of a well-lived life, but sometimes people don’t want those signs to come so soon. Doctors and cosmetic surgeons typically recommend to ways to treat this, the first being a topical cream to strengthen the skin and stimulate collagen production, the second being Botox®.
By getting Botox® earlier, say in your twenties and thirties, patients are beginning to train their muscles to be stronger before they even start to give out. Botox® is used to relax facial muscles to keep them from contracting every time we express ourselves, and by starting early, patients are able to prevent even more contractions than older patients.
Does Botox® Actually Work?
Experts claim that it does work and that by starting young, patients can completely reverse problem areas before they even start to show. They also say it is best to treat wrinkles as soon as they start to form to prevent them from getting too deeply set into the skin. Some doctors can even tell where and when you may need to get Preventative Botox® just by looking at your face and noticing some habits you may have.
Botox® Safety
Botox® is one of the safest cosmetic procedures simply because of how common it is. With so much practice, doctors have been able to understand Botox® down to its every molecule and ensure not just a safe procedure, but a successful one.
