Early Botox Use Prevents Future Wrinkles

As the most popular cosmetic procedure in the world, Botox injections are now synonymous with preventing wrinkles, and are accepted as the gold standard in minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. Yet what many people don’t know is that these injections may also prevent wrinkles from developing when done at an early age. Not only do these powerful injections smooth existing wrinkles, but they can stop them from forming as quickly or as deeply as they would without treatment.

Although traditionally patients have begun getting Botox Cosmetic injections after the appearance of wrinkles, more and more men and women are choosing to have preventative injections to slow the advancement of these wrinkles. As reported in CNN Health, even those in their 20s can benefit from the use of Botox on their future wrinkle development.

Though nothing can completely eliminate the development of wrinkles, or completely remove them once they are formed, these injections can dramatically minimize their appearance. These injections are typically administered on a regular schedule of several months, though each patient will have their own schedule due to the personal nature of the length of these results. This short-term effect allows patients to customize their treatment and perfectly time their best results for important events, etc.

Botox injections have also been proved to be medically useful by an ever-increasing number of clinical studies. They are now used for everything from migraines to joint pain, incontinence and excess sweating. Though Botox Cosmetic is a special formulation of the Botox used for medical purposes, this wide range of effectiveness helps illustrate the power of this incredible procedure.

Common Botox Treatment Areas and Other Options

For many patients, these preventative injections are most effective in common troubles spots, like those around the eyes, between the eyebrows, and on the forehead. Other common areas are lines that form during laughter, or those unique to your facial features and expressions. By working closely with your cosmetic surgeon, you can create a customized prevention/treatment plan that directly targets your areas of concern.

In addition, other treatment options used in conjunction with Botox may be particularly helpful, including dermal fillers. These minimally invasive injections add volume to areas of your face that may be wrinkled due to volume loss, a common part of aging. This volume loss may also occur in young men and women independent of the aging process. For more dramatic results, full surgical procedures may be performed to leave a long-lasting change in the targeted areas. These procedures come in a range for all types of cosmetic needs, including endoscopic brow lifts, full brow lifts and face lifts. They can also be targeted to other key areas of the face, such as eyelid lifts, nose jobs and neck lifts.
