The Best Age for Botox

A recent study published in the US has found that increasing numbers of younger women are using Botox as a 'preventative' measure. And by young, they mean in their early twenties. The study found that there was a rise of 10 per cent in just on year among that particular age group.

Can Botox prevent wrinkles ever forming

The thinking behind this is that the wrinkles will never form if the muscle is weakened and this is better than treating the line and fold when it has actually formed.

However, with Botox just hitting its 20th birthday milestone it is now possible to assess the long-term use of Botox. Although there have been no downsides discovered to continuous use of Botox over many years, there have been some studies recently which have looked at the possibility of patients developing an immunity to Botox, meaning they need more product to produce the same results or, eventually, not getting the desired result at all.

The importance of seeing a Botox expert

Often it's hard to judge what aesthetic treatments will best benefit you and when is the optimal time to receive them. That's why seeing a highly qualified and experienced practitioner such as Dr Tapan of the VIVA Clinic, London, is so important.

Your safety and happiness are his top concerns and, ultimately, if he feels you're too young for treatment then he will be able to advise you as such. Dr Tapan also has a wide range of aesthetic treatments aimed at anti-ageing or to improve your skin condition so he will be able to advise you on which is the best treatment for you.

Botox consultation at the VIVA Clinic

At your consultation at VIVA Clinic, Dr Tapan will take a full medical history, take photographs to provide evaluation and conduct a skin analysis to check your skin's levels of hydration, pigmentation and elasticity. During the consultation, Dr Tapan will discuss the different treatments available and you can ask as many questions as you wish, before you agree on a treatment plan.
