What Is Preventative BOTOX?
Preventative BOTOX refers to using small doses of botulinum toxin before fine lines become deeper, more permanent wrinkles. It works by relaxing the facial muscles responsible for expression lines, especially in high-movement areas like the forehead, glabella (between the brows), and crow’s feet.
The goal isn’t to freeze your face; it’s to slow the progression of wrinkles over time, helping you maintain smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
When Does Preventative BOTOX Make Sense?
You might be a good candidate for early BOTOX Cosmetic if:
- You have dynamic wrinkles that remain visible when your face is at rest
- You’re genetically prone to early signs of aging
- You want a subtle, long-term approach to wrinkle prevention
- You’re comfortable starting with minimal, conservative treatment
Some people wait until wrinkles are more pronounced to begin treatment, while others prefer to get ahead of deeper lines by starting earlier. There’s no “correct” age, but a consultation with our dermatologists can help you decide what’s right for your skin and goals.
