Botox®

For individuals in their 20s to 30s with fine lines just starting to appear, 1 CC (16 units) of Botox is an excellent preventive treatment. At this age, the primary focus is on reducing the development of dynamic wrinkles—those caused by repetitive muscle movements, such as frowning or squinting. By addressing these fine lines early, Botox can help “train” the facial muscles to relax, which minimizes the formation of deeper, more pronounced wrinkles over time.

 

Incorporating Botox into a skincare routine at this stage offers long-term benefits. Preventive Botox requires fewer treatments compared to corrective treatments later in life. Additionally, younger skin tends to have better elasticity and collagen production, which enhances the overall results of Botox. Regular maintenance sessions every 3-6 months can sustain the youthful appearance, ensuring subtle, natural-looking results.

For clients in their 30s to 40s, deeper lines often begin to appear due to prolonged muscle activity and natural aging processes, including decreased collagen and elasticity. At this stage, 1.5 CC (24 units) of Botox is typically recommended to smooth these lines and restore a more refreshed appearance.

 

Initial treatments may need to be performed every 90 days (approximately three months) to achieve optimal results. The reason for more frequent treatments during this phase is to allow Botox to break the cycle of repetitive muscle movements that contribute to wrinkle formation. Once the desired results are achieved, maintenance treatments can be spaced out to every 6 to 12 months, depending on individual skin response and goals.
