Prejuvenation treatments have become the latest craze in skincare trends. Rather than correcting a skin problem after it shows up, these treatments work to prevent wrinkles, dark spots and other common concerns in the first place.
Here, we break down how preventative BOTOX®, one of the most popular prejuvenation treatments, works to prevent wrinkles and who it’s best for.
What Is Preventative BOTOX?
Sometimes called “baby BOTOX,” preventative BOTOX typically uses smaller amounts of BOTOX than a traditional treatment and is aimed at preventing fine lines and wrinkles rather than treating existing wrinkles and creases.
Studies have shown that starting regular BOTOX treatments sooner in life can help to prevent lines and wrinkles in the future. This is because BOTOX works by preventing the facial muscle contractions that cause static lines and wrinkles on your face over time. Thus, with fewer muscle contractions, you’ll end up with fewer wrinkles down the road.
Who Should Get Preventative BOTOX for Wrinkles?
Preventative BOTOX works best when it is done before more pronounced wrinkles and creases show up on your skin. However, there is no single best age to get “baby BOTOX,” as the rate at which wrinkles form depends on a number of factors, including genetics and lifestyle habits.
Talk with your skincare professional to create a customized BOTOX plan that will maximize rejuvenation benefits while also treating any existing wrinkles you may have.
