Botox Treatments

Best age to start cosmetic botox treatments...

Many people incorrectly assume they should start BOTOX® injections by a certain age, but there really isn’t a time limit as treatments can be personalized to meet your specific needs. If you want to prevent the earliest fine lines from becoming deep-seated, BOTOX® Cosmetic is FDA-approved for patients 18 years of age or older who want to slow wrinkles from forming. Discussed below are common uses for different age groups, including:

• Botox for 20 year olds – People in their 20s typically have dynamic wrinkles that only appear when they frown, smile or make other facial expressions. When expression lines become slow to fade, it may be time to develop a treatment protocol for preventative skin care.
• Botox for 30 year olds – Generally speaking, someone in their early 30s can still use BOTOX® injections for preventive care. This is the age fine lines and wrinkles begin to appear in places around the forehead and eyes even though facial muscles are at rest.
• Botox for 40 year olds – Starting in childhood, dozens of facial muscles are used every time you smile, frown, or contort your face. By the time a person reaches his or her 40s, their skin has been repeatedly creased day after day and begins to show fixed signs of natural aging.
• Botox for 50 year olds – Unfortunately, some people falsely assume that Botox treatments should be postponed until later in life. Truth is, you may have missed out on preventative effects of BOTOX® injections but can still address problems with established wrinkles, frown lines, folds, and creases.
• Botox for 60 year olds – There is no upper age limit. Both men and women in their 60s often choose to combine BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatments with other complementary skincare options. As you get older, unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as smoking, can also have a major effect on signs of aging.

Although age guidelines from the manufacturer are helpful, always consult a skincare professional to treat your skin and not your age. An advantage of BOTOX® Cosmetic is treatments can be repeated whenever problems reappear. Moreover, unlike more invasive surgical options, if you are dissatisfied with the outcome following a session, BOTOX® injections naturally fade and your aesthetician can recommend adjustments to your regimen.

Ready to say goodbye to premature signs of facial aging?

If you have started noticing wrinkles when your face is at rest, it may be time to consider BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatments. At Carolyn Skincare MedSpa, we can inject a precise measurement into the facial muscles in the problem area where wrinkles have started to reside. Working with our aesthetician, you can set up an effective treatment plan to improve several types fine lines and wrinkles, such as:

• Nasolabial Folds: BOTOX® injections temporarily relax the muscles around the nose to soften and smooth the appearance of nasolabial folds and prevent them from deepening.
• Frown Lines: Cosmetic BOTOX® injections are considered the “Gold Standard” for managing frown lines and browlift. These wrinkles naturally get deeper with daily facial expressions like frowning or raising the brow.
• Crow’s Feet: BOTOX® injections offer a safe treatment options for dealing with unwanted signs of aging around the eyes. Spending too much time in the sun can result in a loss of elasticity in the face of men and women.
• Gummy Smile: BOTOX® injections can be used to reduce the upward movement of the lip to change lip position for men and women who suffer from a Gummy Smile as well as other lip dynamics.
• Marionette Lines: BOTOX® injections can be used to treat minor Marionette lines caused by muscle contractions around the mouth as well as wrinkles caused by expressions. Fillers may be needed for a deeper loss of volume.
• Forehead Lines: BOTOX® injections work on glabellar lines, forehead furrows, and vertical wrinkles that develop between the brows and above the nose. As your skin matures forehead lines naturally become more visible.
• Neck Lines and Bands: BOTOX® injections can be injected into the vertical neck lines and bands to block nerve signals that cause the skin to fold, so bands and cords relax and appear less obvious.

BOTOX® treatments are virtually painless and most people only experience a slight pinching sensation. Let us know if you don’t do well with needles; our specialist can apply a topical numbing agent before your procedure. One of the key benefits of using BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments is that you can enjoy the results and see its effect in a matter of ten days to two weeks following a session. Today more than half of the sales of BOTOX® comes from therapeutic uses other than cosmetic, such as treating neck spasms, eye muscle disorders, excessive sweating, overactive bladder, joint pain, and chronic migraine headaches.
