While people in that age group can certainly benefit from injectables, recent trends have seen a shift in the age of BOTOX\u00ae patients \u2014 many younger people are choosing to get it. Have you ever personally wondered, \u201cAt what age should I start BOTOX\u00ae in Chicago?\u201d Let\u2019s talk about this intriguing question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are You Concerned About Wrinkles?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every person\u2019s skin is unique, so there are no hard and fast rules about when someone should begin to consider investing in BOTOX\u00ae. However, there are a few guidelines that can help you decide if you should schedule a consultation with a qualified injector:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Do your wrinkles stick around? <\/strong>When you smile, frown, or squint, lines form in your skin. In young people, those lines tend to disappear when they relax their facial muscles. As time passes, however, those lines become more and more visible, even when the face is at rest. If you see wrinkles in your skin when your face is in a neutral position, you may benefit from BOTOX\u00ae.<\/li><li><strong>Do you want to prevent wrinkles? <\/strong>Some patients choose to get BOTOX\u00ae before they notice wrinkles on their face. This practice, known as \u201cpreventive BOTOX\u00ae,\u201d relaxes muscles in the face so they do not have the chance to cause fine lines.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Normal Age for Starting BOTOX\u00ae<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>BOTOX\u00ae is FDA-approved for patients as young as 18. However, injectors rarely see people under the age of 21 requesting treatment. When someone is interested in preventive injections, they usually come start in their mid-twenties. Others begin to seek treatment when they are approaching their milestone 30<sup>th<\/sup> birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should never feel pressured to get BOTOX\u00ae just because you have reached a certain age. Whether or not it is right for you depends on your unique skin, as well as on your feelings about your fine lines and wrinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are There Drawbacks to Starting Early?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are certainly some advantages to starting BOTOX\u00ae at a relatively young age, there are also some potential drawbacks. For example, some people find that they become resistant to the effects of BOTOX\u00ae over time. Additionally, overuse of it could lead to muscular atrophy that causes the face to take on an aged appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your local BOTOX\u00ae provider can discuss all the pros and cons of treatment with you. If you decide to wait to get started with injections, there may be other aesthetic services that can help you reach your skin goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no \u201cideal\u201d age to start BOTOX\u00ae. It is a highly personal choice, and what is best for you depends on your goals and circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meet the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ashley Louise is a physician assistant and expert injector at Wiesman Cosmetic Surgery.
