With its ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, Botox® has emerged as one of the most popular cosmetic treatments around the world. Through its proven results of delivering a youthful appearance, the injectable is used by men and women to defy the effects of aging.

Even though Botox® stands out as a highly effective treatment, its increased use in people who do not yet have any appearance of wrinkles is controversial. If you’re considering getting Botox®, you may have also started wondering: is preventative Botox® necessary?

What Is Botox^®?

Botox® is a neuromodulator that is made from botulinum toxin type A. When injected into areas of concern, Botox limits the movement of the specific muscles which causes wrinkles from repeated motion.

Is Preventative Botox^® Necessary?

The main idea behind people in their 20s and 30s getting Botox® is simple: if you block certain facial movements before they can form wrinkles, you can maintain smooth and wrinkle-free skin for years to come.

Some cosmetic treatment providers believe that getting Botox® before the appearance of wrinkles may still not stop the formation of these signs of aging. But to counter that argument, other experts weigh in that if you start getting preventative Botox®, the wrinkles that might appear in your 40s and 50s may have a lesser prominence than they would otherwise..
