A patient started preventative Botox at 26 with small doses twice yearly and says she looks younger than her peers. Dr. Robert Whitfield explains that smaller doses work for prevention but patients can build tolerance over time, requiring larger doses later. He recommends looking at your parents' faces to predict which lines you'll develop.
I also firmly believe, compared to other girls, that I know that are the same age as me. I think I do look younger than them because I was getting a tiny amount of Botox a couple times a year since I was about 26 or so.
The whole baby Botox thing, you know, just relaxing things. You won't need as much when you're younger. You'll build up tolerance over time and need more.
So do you think that you should not get Botox before a certain age?
No. If somebody's like, you can look at their parents and tell most of what's going to happen to them. They'll have certain line configurations on their forehead. You'll see how they animate. I'm sure you know people that constantly have a squishy face.
Yes.
