Sometimes in life, there are certain things you may not want to do past a certain age. You likely wouldn’t want to have to take intro to algebra in your 40s, and you probably wouldn’t be too thrilled to use a pacifier in your 50s. But when it comes to creating a more youthful appearance with the help of BOTOX, is it possible to be too old? Here’s why with this incredible injectable, there’s no age limit for improving your appearance, and why your dentist is the perfect person to help!

When Can I Start Using BOTOX?

People who are in good health can begin using BOTOX as soon as they turn 18; however, in most cases you may not notice any changes in skin so young. That’s why it is recommended for those in their late 20s to early 30s to help ward off the earliest signs of fine lines and wrinkles and stop them from getting worse. In fact, the sooner you begin using BOTOX, the more it can help hold off the ravages of time!

How Can BOTOX Improve My Appearance?

BOTOX is a safe form of the bacteria botulinum toxin, that when injected into the muscles can temporarily relax and freeze them, creating a more youthful, streamlined appearance. The effects of each injection typically last between three and six months, and after they wear off you are welcome to repeat them again. Should you decide to stop, your skin won’t experience any negative side effects or withdrawals, either. It will simply go back to the way it was before your injections began!

If you do choose to get regular BOTOX injections, they can be instrumental in slowing the progression of fine lines and wrinkles in the face. This incredible injectable also has the added benefit of being non-surgical, so it can improve your appearance with very little downtime. In fact, you can even get injections on your lunch break and return to the office right after!

Do I Qualify for BOTOX Treatment?

As long as you are at least 18 years old, in good health, and have not suffered from a negative reaction to BOTOX in the past, you are likely an excellent candidate for treatment. As for that age old question, “Am I too old for BOTOX?” the answer is no, you’re not! This dynamic dermatology treatment can help patients from 18 to over 100 reduce the appearance of crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, ‘elevens’, frown lines, and any other facial creases that could make you look older than you feel.

Why Getting BOTOX From a Dentist is Better

Although they may not seem like an obvious choice of practitioner, your dentist is an excellent person to provide BOTOX treatment. After all, who is better to safely inject the muscles of the face than a person who has extensive practice doing so for dental treatments, and who also has spent years understanding facial balance and aesthetics?

If you’re over 18 years old and ready to take years off your appearance for a smoother, more youthful complexion, BOTOX could be right for you. To learn more about this treatment and how it can turn back the hands of time for three to six months, schedule a consultation with your dentist today!
