Hello, I read about the long term benefit of Botox if done continuously to get better and youthful appearance but what about the "mask face" with continuous use of Botox for long period? Shall I start using Botox early to get more benefits? Even if I only have very fine lines?

Answer: Botox started younger than older botox is so frequently performed that it has earned a very high safety rating. Deciding to have this done at an early age before the lines become more obvious, is an individual preference.

Answer: Botox over time can provide long-term improvement in dynamic facial lines Speaking from personal experience I have been receiving Botox injections myself for the past 13 years long before it was FDA approved for the treatment of wrinkles. I now only need it about once per year and my forehead has maintained its smoothness. Certainly, too much of anything can give you a fake or frozen look and this is true with Botox also. That being said, there are no problems with long term usage. It is my opinion that Botox results in some retraining on the users part so that they stop using the muscle as much and therefore the improvement seems to last longer. Once a wrinkle is engrained in the skin, it is harder to treat. Therefore, I personally recommend Botox for lines before they become too deep and judicious use can be aesthetically beneficial. I hope this information helps. I would seek an experienced facial plastic surgeon, general plastic surgeon, cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist to have your Botox injections.
