I'm 27, am I too young to get Botox? Will it damage/worsen my skin as I age? Should I wait until I have more wrinkles?

lblearningJul 12, 2017

They are two prominent wrinkles running horizontally on my forehead, from raising my eyebrows (a bad habit while I work). About an inch above my eyebrows, spanning my forehead from the outside of each eyebrow

Thank you for your question. Actually, 20 units is a pretty light dose for what you are treating. I would expect you are seeing the full results of your treatment. I have a free resource that can help you learn more about what is possible with Botox and fillers.

If you need a minor touch up from your procedure, I recommend waiting 10-14 days, as it takes time to take full effect. If you are wanting a full treatment, this is typically performed every 3-4 months.

Botox results last 3-4 months. In the mean time, venus legacy and thermage treatments can soften results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
