Okay, so I'm an 18 y/o female with no health problems but something that I've been wanting to fix are my forehead lines that I have close to my hairline- they make me self conscious and I'm sure I've had them over 4+ years.. I've tried everything from home remedies to makeup and they only seem to become deeper and noticeable- I've decided that I want to get Botox but I'd like to get a doctors advice first.

Answer: Can you have deep forehead wrinkles at 18? Can I get Botox at 18? (Photo) Hello Maria, Thank you for your question and the photos. When your face is at rest, as in the first photo, I am not seeing any wrinkles. Most everyone will have wrinkles in the forehead when they raise their eyebrows. However, if these are of concern to you, there is no reason you can't have Botox to prevent future wrinkles and slow down the animation of those muscles. We have many younger patients who wish to be proactive in preventing wrinkles so they opt for Botox or Xeomin as a preventative measure. Keep in mind, results only last for about 3 months. Please be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon, dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon for best results. Good luck to you, Maria.

Answer: Botox treatment at 18 Botox treatment can help people who are 18 and over 80. If the lines are starting to form with exaggerated expressions, then Botox can prevent these lines from getting worse and treat what one already has.At the same time, not all lines are caused by Botox and that is why, I recommend that all patient see dermatologist at least once in their life to get great skin care advice.Remember, dermatologists are your skin, hair and nail experts. That is what they DO.I hope that helps and best regards, Dr. Sapijaszko
