I'm 18, take good care of my skin. Lot of sunscreen/moisturizer/exfoliation/etc. My skin's flawless, but lately I've had major stress/sadness. Recently I don't know how, but I woke up 1 day w/ PERMANENT DEEP 11s b/t my eyes. I'm dealing w/ stress better now, but these 11s have become static, are present when I'm not making expressions. Medical Question: At 18, would these 11s eventually go away if I continue taking good care of my skin like before, or do I need to take drastic action (ie~Botox)?
Answer: Botox is probably the best course of action The problem with dynamic wrinkles is that they are a result of muscle contraction for various reasons. Your stress could be causing you to frown in your sleep, for example. You could try a small dose of Botox as an intervention and continue your skin regiment while the Botox allows your muscles to relax. If after the Botox wears off you see the lines returning, you will know that you might need ongoing maintenance with Botox. If they don't come back, then you've solved your issues and can stop the injections until you get a bit older.

Answer: Will Botox help my 11 lines? It's a good question. Wrinkles in her face form when the muscles of facial expression contract over and over again throughout our lifetime. As the muscle contracts the overlying skin folds and unfolds and eventually becomes thin. Using Botox to weaken the muscle gives the skin a chance to recover and prevents further deepening of the wrinkle. It's difficult to predict, but Botox may help those lines improve. In situations where the wrinkle is permanent you could consider having a small amount of filler placed within the line. This fills the line and makes it less noticeable.

Answer: 11s I have not seen your photos but don't believe that you should start using Botox at the age of 18. Fine lines will reduce drastically with good topical care, RetinA cream and sunscreen. Reserve Botox and fillers for your 20s and 30s.
