Botox to prevent future wrinkles?

 Thank you for your question and for sharing your photos and concerns with us. Botox and fillers can be used to help with your concerns. Botox can be used to help soften dynamic wrinkles.  Fillers can be used to help regions like the nasolabial fold. I would recommend that you visit with the board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to develop an appropriate treatment plan for you.

Early treatment with Botox or other neuromodulators can prevent the development of wrinkles.  Movement wrinkles of the face occur as a result of repetitive damage to the collagen and elastin fibers through muscle contraction.  Prevention of creasing in the skin can stave off this process.   Pairing this with a good topical regimen can lead to great results over time.
