When people think of Botox, they often imagine smoothing out existing wrinkles.
But did you know Botox can also be used preventatively, to stop fine lines before they become permanent?
Let’s dive into how preventative Botox works and who should consider it.
What Is Preventative Botox?
Preventative Botox is the strategic use of small doses of neuromodulators (like Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin) before deep lines and wrinkles have fully formed.
The goal? Train facial muscles to relax earlier in life, preventing repetitive expressions (like frowning or squinting) from etching permanent creases into your skin.
When Should You Start Preventative Botox?
There’s no “perfect age” it’s more about the appearance of early fine lines, not your birthday.
Many people begin preventative Botox in their mid-to-late 20s or early 30s when they start noticing faint lines that don’t fully disappear when the face is at rest.
Benefits of Preventative Botox
- Delays the development of deep-set wrinkles
- Helps maintain a smoother, fresher appearance over time
- Reduces the need for more aggressive treatments later
- Creates subtle, natural results when done properly
