You may have wondered whether you are too young or too old to start Botox.
No single starting age for Botox
There is no one right age to hand you. A licensed provider who can see your face is the person to answer it.
Being ready for the upkeep
Ask whether Botox would need repeat visits, because the real question is not only "am I old enough" but "am I ready for the upkeep".
Some things to sort out ahead of a first visit:
- What exactly do I want to change, and does it bother me or someone else?
- What does a first visit cost, and what does keeping it up cost over a year?
- Is a small plan that is easy to pause an option?
- What happens if I decide to stop?
If you cannot answer the first question yet, give yourself more time. Skin care at home is a gentle way to start while you decide.
A consultation just for questions
Arrange a consultation purely to ask questions. A good practice will not push you to commit on the spot.
To get some background first, a plastic surgery society offers an overview of botulinum toxin, and a university hospital system explains what Botox injections involve. Use them to write your own questions, then ask your provider how they fit your age and goals.
Deciding when, not just whether
A licensed provider who has seen you in person is the one to judge whether Botox suits you, and when.
