Who uses Botox for face wrinkles?
What’s the age to start using Botox injections? There is no simple answer to this, but in general, patients start to get Botox most commonly in their mid to late 30s. Signs of aging begin to show when collagen production slows down, reducing elasticity in the facial muscles, making them in a more relaxed state than in younger skin.

I recently had my first appointment with Liz and I must say, what an amazing experience. I have very sensitive skin on my face and neck so removal from those areas are not fun for me. Liz took every measure to make the experience as pleasant … More as possible for me, and made sure to take her time and give me plenty of breaks so we could get through the session. I look forward to seeing her again! -

How long does Botox take to work after injection?
You can expect to start to see results within a few days and results may vary, but it usually takes more than a week for the full effects to be seen which will then last months.
How many procedures do you need? This depends on the number of areas you are having treated and how effective results are.

Will my friends know I got Botox?

Does Botox change your face?
Doing too much Botox can, overtime, make the forehead muscles flatter and weaker, but in terms of a drastic face change, you won’t experience too much of a change other than the desired elimination of fine line and wrinkles. Overall, shaping should remain relatively similar but a skilled aesthetician can subtly alter the shape of the face if so desired. For example, a more defined V-shaped face can be achieved.
Cases when the Botox doesn’t work
There are a few occasions in which Botox might not work:
● You aren’t getting enough units.
● Your immune system is too strong and fighting the injections.
● You are not being injected in the correct manner.The effects may manifest in a shiny forehead or you look angry all the time.
Will health insurance pay for Botox on face?
Insurance will not cover Botox that is for purely cosmetic use to remove wrinkles, but some plans might include coverage if the Botox is needed for a medical, muscular issue. Some preventative treatments may be covered.
