Botox OK at 27

Botox is safe to use at age 27.  However, the crow's feet respond nicely to topical creams as well, such as Renova or other retinoid prescriptions.  You can use this in conjunction with the Botox or even try it for 6 months first.  Certainly quitting smoking and reducing your stress will help not only your skin, but your entire body.  make sure your diet has plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, and you minimize sugars, alcohol, white flour and also artificial... more

Botulinum Toxin (Dysport or Botox) and Crow's feet in a 27 year old

The conservative use of Botulinum Toxin (Dysport or Botox) to the lines around the eyes can provide you with a satisfactory and low risk treatment of the crow's feet.

27 not too young to have BOTOX around eyes

27 is not too young to have BOTOX around the eyes. It really just depends on whether you really need it and how deep your lines appear. It’s only going to affect you later in life in the sense that it will relax the muscles and will probably make the lines less deep as you get older. So, in this sense, it will affect you in a positive way. However, once you stop having BOTOX injections, the muscles will slowly go back to their full strength and the wrinkles will return. But, these... more

Age for Botox Cosmetic Around the Eyes

While there are no strict age guidelines for cosmetic facial procedures, nonsurgical treatments are encouraged while surgery is generally not recommended for younger men and women. Based on your photograph alone, your skin already looks great, so Botox Cosmetic may yield limited results. A much better treatment for improvement of skin tone and appearance is to stop smoking, which will have a much better long-term results than any other cosmetic procedure. Only after a comprehensive... more

You are not too young to stop smoking

Check out my microdroplet BOTOX method on my website.  If you read this, you will understand that BOTOX is so much more than simply for treating wrinkles.  It is very effective for lifting the eyebrows and this can greatly improve your facial aesthetics.  Because I practice in West Los Angeles, I regularly treat many young women who are doing anything they can to obtain an advantage in auditions.  However, the number one thing you can do for yourself is to STOP... more

Botox in 27 year old women

If you have Crow's feet, the lines on the sides of the eyes, not lower eyelid skin wrinkles, then you can try Botox.  I have a handful of patients that have had botox for more than ten years, and have noticed that they need to come in almost every two months to maintain the effectiveness rather than the four months when we began. In case this is a real phenomenon then you should delay the treatment until you see the lines at rest.

Botox seldom used in women under 30.

Hi. Your photo does not show a lot of wrinkles.  And the young women we treat are usually in show business.  But Botox is safe enough if you wan to try it.  Remember you have to do it at least twice a year.

Age for Botox

Every patient will age differently and develop wrinkles in certain areas at various times of their life.  This is dependent on genetics, ethnicity, expressiveness, and environmental factors such as sun exposure and smoking.  Botox is used more and more often in patients in their 20's for dynamic wrinkles or wrinkles in motion.  It works extremely well as an injectable medication that will help prevent future signs of aging.  Identical twin studies have... more
