Botox’s ability to reverse aging and block emotions is nothing new, but the demographic it now draws is. Its target demographic has shifted from people in their middle years to those in their twenties for the purposes of prevention. However, when is it best to start a Botox routine?
To counteract the unsightly effects of time, people can choose from a number of different strategies. They frequently opt for Botox treatments.
Even though there is no “right” time to begin your Botox journey, you will see the best results if you have a routine in place well before the first signs of aging appear. Many people begin in their mid to late twenties, when the lines first start to become noticeable. This is the time period during which collagen and elastin production typically decline.
Saddeningly, the first signs of skin failure typically appear around the 25-year mark of a person’s life. And despite the fact that there is no single treatment that is appropriate for everyone, you should plan on repeating the injections about once every three months indefinitely, or at least until you are ready for your skin to resume its slow but steady descent into hell.
However, there are a few exceptions; for example, women who are pregnant should not continue receiving injections. Trying to conceive, undergoing IVF treatment, or breastfeeding are three additional examples.
In addition, if you are taking certain medications, such as some anti-coagulants and some Alzheimer’s treatments, or if you are suffering from a neuromuscular disorder, there may be complications. When in doubt, it’s best to get your doctor’s approval before beginning.
If you’re worried about your doctor giving you a condescending lecture about how dangerous Botox is, rest assured: there is no such evidence. Botox carries the same degree of risk as anything else. On the other hand, serious dangers are extremely uncommon.
Researchers found that the most common side effects were localized pain at the injection site, headaches (which occur in 1% of people and can last for hours or days), and minor bruising and bleeding (which occurred in 11-25%).
A skilled and knowledgeable Botox provider can reduce the likelihood of adverse events. No long-term risks have been shown, and this holds true whether you begin using Botox in your twenties or later in life. As long as Botox is used properly and as directed, studies have found that it poses no serious risks to your health and can be safely used for a variety of cosmetic purposes.
Therefore, we can anticipate a generation of eighty-year-olds in the next half century who will still be required to present a valid form of identification if people in their twenties have already begun using Botox. That being said, if you’re into that sort of thing, feel free to Botox to your heart’s content without worrying about serious side effects.
Those of us whose facial horse has apparently already bolted can either accept the lines on our faces for what they are and the stories they tell, frowning as little as possible in the process, or we can try to stop the clock and remain stuck in our mid-30s forever by any means necessary.
