Botox to prevent future wrinkles?

beabea91
does it? does it promote production of elastin/collagen or does it ONLY treat wrinkles that are already there? mid 20s asian, i have one fine line under my eyes and nasoliabal folds that are visible under certain lights. I do like a firmer appearance. i dont have lines on forehead but i do like the "shiny look" that one sometimes get from botox. not the scary frozen look but i like some smoothness. should i wait till i actually get visible lines? or is filler better if i want elastin?
