If you think you’re too old for Botox, you’d be surprised how many people in their golden years use it.
The truth is that there is no upper age limit when it comes to using Botox since it works by relaxing the facial muscles, which in our opinion, is a valid approach for people of any age to take to look younger.
Most people, in fact, who receive Botox tend to be older rather than younger.
This isn’t exactly a surprise, as there is an incentive for people who are older to maintain a youthful appearance.
For your Golden Years
If you believe that this treatment use is relegated to those in their 40s or 50s alone and that people in their 60s and 70s don’t use it, you may be happy to know that’s not the case!
If you are in your golden years and are looking to get Botox, we encourage you to give us a call at (310) 909-9747.
We provide Botox to everyone who passes our screening process.
What’s The Best Age To Get Botox?
In our opinion, getting Botox at any age above 18 can be useful if there is a reason you are getting it.
Botox has medical uses, although we only use it for cosmetic purposes at Mirror Mirror Med Spa.
Some people get the occasional Botox procedure done in their mid-30s to mid-40s to maintain their youthful appearance. This is a perfectly fine use.
Using Botox As A Preventative Cosmetic Measure
While we’re on the subject of using this treatment to maintain your youthful appearance, let us just add that maintaining your youth, as opposed to trying to reverse the signs of aging that have already manifested, is certainly a more efficient strategy.
For this reason, if you are in your 30s or 40s, or even in your 20s, and are noticing the signs of aging, visit our Contact page to schedule a consultation. We’d love to hear from you.
How Should Botox Be Used For Different Ages?
The best way to think of how Botox should be used for different ages ranging from 20 to 70 is as follows:
In your 20’s, it can work as a preventative measure to maintain your youthful appearance.
In your 30’s, it can treat early signs of aging, especially between your eyebrows.
In your 40’s, it can improve wrinkles that are starting to really set in and give you a younger look.
In your 50’s, it can be useful for lessening wrinkles that have formed over the decades.
Once you’re in your 50s, you won’t be able to make all your wrinkles go away with it, but you can make your face look younger by taking a professional approach with the help of your treatment provider.
In your 60s and up, cosmetic Botox fulfills essentially the same role as if you were in your 50s. The goal is to make you look younger, and we’ll also add, increase your confidence!
Is 70 Too Old for this treatment?
No, not at all! People in their 70s can certainly benefit from getting Botox. Many people in their golden years do.
Is It Safe To Use it When You Are 18?
It is generally safe, yes. it is FDA-approved for treatments in patients who are over 18 years of age.
With that said, unless you have a medical condition, you almost certainly won’t need to use Botox at this age.
There is also a potential risk that comes with starting with this treatment at 18 years of age—namely, the weakening of your facial muscles, which occurs when your facial muscles are not able to fully develop due to a lack of use.
