When to Start Botox: Preventative Care for Wrinkles

Botox has long been a go-to solution for reducing the appearance of wrinkles, but did you know it can also be used as a preventative measure? Starting Botox in your late 20s or early 30s can help prevent the formation of deep wrinkles and fine lines, keeping your skin looking smoother for longer. By relaxing the facial muscles that cause expression lines, Botox prevents these lines from becoming permanent, making it a key component in anti-aging skincare routines.

At SkinMed, we prefer Xeomin, a type of botulinum toxin similar to Botox, for its purity and effectiveness. Xeomin is free from the extra proteins found in Botox, which can sometimes lead to resistance or decreased effectiveness over time. Unlike Botox, Xeomin does not require refrigeration, making it more stable and reliable.

By starting Botox or Xeomin treatments early, you can maintain a youthful appearance and avoid the need for more invasive procedures later in life. The effects typically last three to six months, depending on the individual, and touch-ups can be scheduled as needed to maintain your desired look. Preventative Botox is an investment in your skin’s future, helping you age gracefully with fewer visible signs of aging.
