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: Long term use of botulinum toxin There are many claims to long term use of botulinum toxin (Dysport, etc) but few are truly substantiated in the medical literature. These include the possibility of long term weakness of the treated muscles with decreasing need for use, contraction of skin that has been "put to rest", prevention of facial laxity, etc. However, this had not been truly confirmed. The facts are that botulinum toxins have been in clinical use for well over 20 years with a very high safety profile.

Answer: BOTOX will keep your upper face smooth and wrinkle free as you age. BOTOX works well for eliminating frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet. BOTOX works by locally paralyzing the muscles that cause these wrinkles to form. It is my opinion that the regular use of BOTOX will prevent deep wrinkles from developing in the areas treated.

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.
