I'm a 32-year-old, and I'm thinking of having Botox for the first time. How often do people around my age need to get re-injected? Is it less, since my wrinkles are less severe, than let's say, a 50-year-old's? I wanted to inject Botox in between my eyebrows and maybe a little crow's feet. I have had a lot of sun exposure throughout the years, since I was a ski instructor for many years. I undergo occasional chemical peels to help with my melasma and hoped that some Botox could help with some of the wrinkles.
Answer: Age does not make a difference for Botox Botox does not generally require different frequency of administration based on age. The number of units will differ depending on the muscle mass and depth of wrinkle, but most people, regardless of age, need to have Botox repeated every 4-5 months, sometimes less and sometimes more frequently.

Answer: Botox results? Last 3-4 months Botox results resolve in 3-4 months. They will gradually resolve, but after 3 months, you can get a touch-up. Hope this helps.

Answer: Botoxed... Please watch the video below. I try to explain some key aspects of the technicalities of using or getting botox. It is not so much of when or who issue about who gets botox. It is about what bothers you. Often times younger patients will require less but I recommend being specific about what bothers you and seeing someone you trust. As far as results it really does make a difference who is injecting, how much and where it is injected. It is one of those treatments that unfortunately has become a commodity and it really requires a bit more of an artistic finesse approach. We use the neuromodulators to target and soften the muscles without giving that frozen look. Hope this helps, Best of luck, DrC

Answer: How Often Do Younger People Need Botox Injections? The face is one of the first parts of the body to show signs of ageing. You may start to show visible signs in your early 20s due to genetics, diet, sun exposure and smoking. Anti-wrinkle treatments are the best way to address fine lines and wrinkles in the upper face. The effects of these treatments usually last up to 4 months regardless of your age. If you have regular treatments you may notice the effects may last longer.

Answer: How often do younger people need botox injections? The great thing about Botox is it can be used to treat existing wrinkles or prevent wrinkles. Since you are young and in your 30's, you can treat the existing wrinkles around the eyes and in between the brows. This will prevent them from getting deeper. Typically, you get reinjected every 3-6 months. You will know when it is time to come in again. The duration of Botox can be different for everyone. Regards Anil Shah

Answer: How often do younger people need Botox injections? Botox effect duration does not really seem to correlate to the age of the patient. In most patients, Botox tends to last 3-4 months, with some patients getting a shorter or longer treatment duration. It does seem that patients who undergo repeated injections seem to get increased benefit (shallower wrinkles and improved results) over time, but the duration of treatment is not usually affected. Botox can work great in young patients as wrinkles begin to show. Botox keeps the wrinkles from becoming deeper and prevents new ones from forming, especially when used in conjunction with a great skin care regimen. Always see an expert physician injector. All the best,
