Absolutely!  We are seeing a trend in the industry now that I call "Prejuvenation," where people are starting with wrinkle relaxers earlier.  The goal is to prevent these deep furrows between the brows from forming.  Getting a wrinkle relaxer, whether it's Botox, Dysport or Xeomin, in your 20's may allow you to start with a conservative dose as well.  Make sure you speak with an experienced injector.  Good  luck with your treatments!

The standard dose for the glabella, or 11's between your brow, can range anywhere from 20-35 units depending on the strength of your muscles.  All botulinumtoxin products usually take a full 2 weeks to see the peak of treatment.  Please have patience.  Some patients notice a difference in a few days.

If this is your first injection with this particular provider, most physicians are more than happy to see you at a 2 week follow up to assess the efficacy of treatment.  I would encourage you to reach out to your provider for follow up.  I hope this answers some of your questions!
