Three weeks ago, I asked readers what age they think is appropriate for a woman to start getting Botox. The results are in:
- 38 percent (the majority) think women should wait until 35;
- 24 percent think they’re ready at 25 (surprising!);
- 18 percent think it is best to wait until 45;
- 10 percent think 55;
- …and only 10 percent say never.
Obviously, this is a personal decision, but I think the fact that only 10% are opposed to Botox altogether shows how mainstream cosmetic dermatology has become in our society. Of course, I may have a bit of a dermatology-savvy audience already… 
Let me know your thoughts!
Get my book!
Interesting responses, aren’t they? I would have thought 25 was a bit young for Botox, too.
Sorry for my bad english, but here in Brazil Botox is VERY POPULAR! We are the second country in the world that most use Botox. We love Botox, all about skin care, dermatology treatments like chemical peels, laser, lip filler injections (like Restylane)…
Its all about prevention. I had my first Botox at 27 and its worth every penny and every ouch. I’m all for preventing wrinkles now so that I don’t have to pay for fillers and peels in the future.
Wow! I think getting Botox during the twenties is a bit young. A lot of young people still get acne so wrinkles is not yet an issue. Plus it costs a lot. I was thinking maybe it’s better to invest first in good skin care.
I am 43yrs old and considering botox is it good for fine lines around the eyes and around my nasal area also ,I would like my lip more plump
