Am I Too Old For Botox? The Short Answer: Never!

As a range of beauty and skincare treatments become more accessible, you may start to wonder if these treatments – such as botox and plastic surgery – are the right fit for you. This can be especially true for some of our more mature clients who feel that services such as botox or fillers may no longer be attainable due to their age. 

If you’re concerned that your age may impact what services are available to you, you may just be in luck. In this article we will review how age affects the benefits of botox in different people so that you can make an educated and informed decision. 

How does age affect the benefits of Botox?

First, let's get this straight: you’re never too old for botox. While age may affect the level of impact you may see when compared to use on young people’s skin, botox still manages to work some magic when introduced to mature skin. Below we’ve outlined different age groups and how botox may work on their skin.

People in their 20s can see a lot of benefits from Botox

For most people in their 20’s, botox is simply going to be used to treat small problem areas on the face where facial expressions are more animated, as well as health concerns. Botox can also commonly be used by people in their 20’s as a way to enhance their body's natural features. Due to the youthfulness of skin, botox can work wonders as lines and wrinkles have not had time to settle into deeply rooted problem areas.

30 and 40 year old folks are big beneficiaries of Botox

Patients between the ages between 30 and 40 are prime candidates for botox treatment as signs of age are just beginning to show and can be easily remedied with the help of botulinum toxin. In fact, around this age group, botox may still be considered preventative botox as treatments are geared towards minimizing forehead wrinkles / frown lines as they set into your skin. 

Those above the age of 50 can have their skin become rejuvenated

As you reach the wonderful age of 50, Botox becomes less about preventing forehead lines and wrinkles, and more so a means to treat them so that you can look younger. Why is that so? Simply put, as a side effect of turning 50, the aging process reduces your natural production of collagen, leaving lines, creases, and wrinkles to stay and establish themselves permanently on the skin. It is important to treat these fine lines and wrinkles before they become too deeply set into your skin.

Common benefits of Botox regardless of age 

Although there are a number of reasons people may choose to invest in botox, there are a number of benefits that affect everyone, regardless of age.

Here are our top two reasons to love botox outside of its use to treat signs of aging: 

Sun damage and wrinkles can be treated

Signs of sun damage and wrinkles can be visible on the skin regardless of age. No matter what you’re trying to treat, botox will always be successful in providing anti-aging qualities as well as rejuvenating the look and texture of your skin, bringing it back to a more youthful looking state. Don’t let the power of the sun leave your skin looking older and worn. 

Botox can help a number of medical issues

In addition to helping your physical appearance, botulinum toxin can also help treat a number of physical issues the human body may be going through. For example, one of the most commonly discussed uses of botox outside of cosmetic purposes is for the treatment of migraines. Additionally, people who suffer from excessive sweating or muscle spasm can find relief with the help of Botox injections. The treatment is so effective due to its ability to block the nerves surrounding your facial muscles / problem areas so that the symptoms are no longer being triggered internally. 

When should you book a Botox appointment?

If you’re still finding yourself feeling unsure, we’ve created this list of prime examples of when booking a botox appointment may be beneficial.
