Is preventative Botox worth it? đ¤
My answer is yes⌠but not necessarily as young as you think.
Iâm not a fan of telling everyone in their 20s that they need Botox before itâs âtoo lateâ.
When youâre young, your skin generally has enough elasticity to recover from normal facial movement.
Itâs when the skin starts to lose some of that bounce-back ability that repeated muscle movement can begin to leave permanent lines.
For many people, thatâs around the mid-30s onwards â but weâre all different.
There are exceptions, particularly people with very strong frown muscles who may develop significant frown lines or muscular tension at a younger age.
And sometimes the best preventative treatment isnât Botox at all.
It might be good skincare + excellent sunscreen + looking after your skin. âď¸
Sometimes the most appropriate treatment is Botox.
Sometimes itâs skincare.
And sometimes itâs nothing yet.
Thatâs why I assess the person, not just the age.
