I will be 31 and the other day while walking through a casino I was told that I need to be “18″ to be in there… No surprise. I still look 16. I am very tiny which helps, but have absolutely no lines or wrinkles, not even smile lines, frown lines etc.. But once I see them appear, I will start considering their demise.

Im a PA in the Aesthetic Dermatology field. There is a big controversy on this subject, and honestly I really dont think its that big of a deal to start getting Botox early. It makes sense. If youre gonna do it when your 50, why not do it now, so you can allow those muscles to undergo disuse atrophy and do it as a preventive? If you start later, your allowing those lines to get deeper and set in and then it only takes years longer to get rid of them. Your not freezing muscles, your simply weakening them, and people you hear about that are ‘frozen’ are those that have had too much Botox. Botox is an art; there is a technique to it. If the right technique is used, you should have a natural look with softening of the area, not removal of natural expression. We get haircuts, our eyebrows waxed, manicures/pedicures and now…Botox…really whats the big deal?

Unfortunately we live in a shallow society….but then again when you look good, the attention you get makes you feel great so its all beneficial. I am 28 and I have my first botox treatment at lunchtime today, not that I really need it but I am doing all I can to preserve what I have. Everyone gives out about celebrities putting pressure on us all to look good but surely they are just inspiration to know that it can be done.

I ran out of room. I’ll get off my soap box. It’s a shame that society is the way it is. Whose fault is it? The media? It’s ours. Somewhere along the line we accepted the pressures put on us, and that is why things are the way they are.

So to answer the question, no, it’s not too young. If a woman is set on being wrinkle-free for as long as possible, botox seems to be the way to go. And from what I hear, it is much easier to prevent wrinkles from Botox, than to correct them once they are there.

As for me, I’ll stick with “magic” lotions, and then I’ll wear a bag.

Before I reflected on it, I immediately thought that 25 was too young. Someone that young should be enjoying their youth, not thinking about preventing wrinkles by undergoing such a procedure. Wearing sunscreen should be enough at that age.

But then I thought more about it. First I got angry. Angry that we live in a society where so much importance is placed on looking young. Being wrinkle-free. We have been brainwashed into thinking that growing old is bad. A natural process-aging-must be avoided at all costs. Undergoing life-threatening operations (thinking about lifts, tucks, boob-jobs) is thought of as ok because the end result will be a better-younger-looking person.

I am 27 and considering Botox. I don’t have deep wrinkles but they are starting and I’d like to do what I can now to look great when I’m 40. I also have some sun spots / brown blotchiness around my forehead that I’m going to get peels to remove. I’m a little nervous that I might get addicted but we will see!

I got my first round of Botox on my 27th birthday. It was amazing!!! In two weeks I went from crinkles when I smile to smooth when I smile. Its all about prevention, and I will definitely be making Botox a regular treatment to prevent deep wrinkles.
