I Am 66. Is There an Age Limit for Botox Injections?

Although the official FDA labelling for Botox is for people 65 and under, it can be (and is often) used as an "off-label" treatment for healthly people over 65.  Provided you don't have any other medical issues that complicate Botox injection, like being on blood thinners, or having certain neurologic disorders, you should be able to have Botox at age 66.

 

All the best,

There is no age requirements for Botox treatment.  Botox works by weakening the muscles that crease the overlying skin in animation or dynamic wrinkles.  We treat patients of all ages with this great procedure that has an incredibly high patient satisfaction rating.

The reason that many people think there is an "age restriction" when it comes to Botox is because the original studies had patients aged 65 or younger, so the FDA gave approval up to that age. However, treating older patients is done routinely. Some of my happiest patients are older than 65 and love the way they look after treatment!

So, my advice to you is go for it. I am sure, if you are like many of my “younger” patients you will love it!
