Many dermatologists and cosmetic providers now recommend starting Botox in your late twenties or early thirties as preventative treatment. The idea is stopping deep lines from forming rather than trying to smooth them once they’re established.
However, there’s no “wrong” time to start if you’re bothered by existing lines. Patients in their forties, fifties, and beyond still see excellent results, though deeper lines might require combination treatments or more units for optimal improvement.
The best time is when you’re ready and have realistic expectations. Dr. Kupetz evaluates your skin condition, discusses your goals, and recommends whether Botox alone will achieve what you’re hoping for or if other treatments might be more appropriate.
