My mother has very deep lines on her forehead, and very recently I have noticed a line forming on my forehead. I tend to raise my eyebrows a lot when I talk and I think it is forming because of that. I don’t want to have more wrinkles in the future! Would botox help solve my issue?
Answer: Age for Botox If wrinkles and fine lines are already developing from muscle movement, Botox is a great option! However, since you still young, non-ablative fractionated lasers and medical-grade skin care routines are other options that could help address your wrinkles. To get the best recommendation on a treatment plan that is customized to you and your skin type, consult with a board-certified dermatologist who can assess you in person!

Answer: Is Preventive Botox at 18 Too Young? If You Have Wrinkles Botox Is OK at 18+ You are young for Botox, but if you’re already developing wrinkles that are related to excessive muscle movement, that might be the best solution for you. However, that has to be decided in person. It’s possible you’re not hydrating your skin properly and that’s why it’s wrinkling. Non-ablative fractionated lasers and/or medical-grade skin care might take care of your concerns. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who can find the right treatments for you now and help you keep your skin youthful as you age.

Answer: Is preventive Botox at 18 too young ? Preventive Botox treatment is definitely a good idea. If you have definitive fine lines when moving the forehead Botox maybe warranted. If it’s barely visible I would suggest using good topical antiaging products, regular chemical peels, sun avoidance, eating healthy nutritionally balanced foods , drinking lots of water all of which will help to delay the onset of lines.

Answer: Botox/Xeomin/Dysport at a young age--Results Take 1-2 weeks I recommend my younger patients start anti-aging treatments like Botox early for prevention. Botox results take 1-2 weeks and resolve in 3-4 months. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: You need to consider good skin care first 18 is a bit too young for Botox. Based on your photograph, your skin has sustained pretty significant amount of sun damage, and that is why you notice your lines so early. I highly suggest using daily sunscreen and start with a good medical grade skincare. I like SkinCeuticals. You need sunscreen SPF 30 at least, retinol and moisturizer and being really good about its application on daily basis. If this doesn't help in the next few years, then you can add Botox to help you train you muscles not to be too expressive . Hope this helps. Best, Dr.Avaliani
