Have you noticed signs of aging, such as fine lines that persist even when you’re not smiling? If so, you might have also wondered, “Should I be getting BOTOX® Cosmetic injections?”

Recognized as the “Best Medspa in Marin County” multiple times, Belle Marin offers award-winning services in a luxurious and welcoming setting.
What BOTOX Cosmetic Does and Why Timing Matters
BOTOX Cosmetic temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines, like frown lines or crow’s feet. The goal is not to change your appearance dramatically but to soften those signs of aging and boost your confidence.
While there’s no set age for beginning BOTOX, it might be a good time if any of the following apply to you:
- You see lines that don’t go away when your face is at rest.
- Your makeup settles into creases more than it used to.
- You look tired or tense even when you’re well-rested and relaxed.
- You want to stop deeper wrinkles from forming.
Should You Get Preventative BOTOX?
Many people opt for “preventative BOTOX” in their late 20s and early 30s. This approach limits the development of dynamic wrinkles by relaxing the facial muscles before the lines become more pronounced.
Benefits of being proactive may include:
- You’ll need less product over time.
- You’ll see more subtle results.
- You’ll enjoy a smoother aging process.
Keep in mind, too, that BOTOX is highly customizable. The ideal starting point depends on your skin, lifestyle, and goals. A consultation with a professional, like Dr. Jamali, can help you make a decision.
