What age should you start Botox?
- If you want to prevent the earliest fine lines from becoming full-blown wrinkles, preventative Botox can be the solution.
- Botox is approved for patients who are 18 years and older and most experts agree that patients in their mid to late 20s and early 30s are at a good age for preventative Botox treatment.
Additionally, Can you stop Botox once you start? If you stop BOTOX treatments after many years of regular injections, the only effect will be that your wrinkles will return, albeit a bit more slowly than if you had not been using BOTOX. It’s true: Even after you stop, you will still look younger than you would have if you had never been injected.
What is the downside of Botox? Nausea. Redness. Temporary facial weakness or drooping. In rare instances, the botulinum toxin may spread beyond the treatment area, causing botulism-like signs and symptoms such as breathing problems, trouble swallowing, muscle weakness and slurred speech.

Still, Is 50 too late for Botox? There is no definite age when you should start BOTOX®—it’s more about the state of your skin, and everyone’s timeline is different. For wrinkle treatments, it’s best to start when you notice forehead lines, frown lines, or crow’s feet even when your expression is neutral.
