For cosmetic purposes, the package insert recommends that Botox® “is indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and /or procerus muscle activty in adult patients ≤ 65 years of age”. Please keep in mind that physicians may clinically decide to use Botox® in older or younger patients and in other anatomic areas as an as “off label” application if specific informed consent is obtained. For therapeutic and medical applications, the age drops to 12 years.
