I'm in my mid 20's and would like to inquire about starting botox for preventative purposes. I have frown lines I want to get rid of and prevent them when I'm older. However, I've heard some thoughts and opinions from others. If I get botox at my young age, will botox be effective later in life (50's and over)?

Answer: Botox for young adult Botulinum toxins like Botox & Dysport have seen increases in usage in younger populations, at lower or baby botox dosing, to prevent wrinkles before they etch in. Not only are there many different neuromodulators, but there are always new things in development in cosmetic dermatology, so I wouldn't be worried about Botox not working in your later years. I have treated for over 17 years patients with botulinum toxins and the vast majority (more than 95%) have not seen any reduction in effect over time.
