As part of the normal aging process, you may start to notice fine lines and wrinkles creeping across your face. These signs of aging can show up as early as your 20s. While we can’t stop the aging process, there are ways to reduce the signs of aging. Botox is an extremely popular cosmetic treatment that can smooth away wrinkles to give you youthful-looking skin. 
## When to Get Botox
Wondering when to get Botox? There’s no magical age to start getting Botox. The right time for you depends on what kinds of wrinkles you have and how deep the wrinkles are. 

The right time to start preventative Botox is when you first notice fine lines around your eyes, between your brows, or across your forehead. Small Botox injections can smooth away these fine lines as well as relax facial muscles. This can prevent deeper wrinkles before they have a chance to form.

You can also start getting Botox when your wrinkles become permanent. If you notice wrinkles when you smile and frown, and these don’t go away when your face relaxes, it’s a good time to get Botox. Treating static wrinkles with Botox can give you smoother skin. However, it’s important to remember that Botox is temporary. After three to six months Botox will wear off and you’ll start to notice the wrinkles again.
 
## Botox in Your 20s and 30s
The best time to start preventative Botox is in your 20s or 30s. When you notice lines or dynamic wrinkles on your face, you can get Botox in these areas to smooth away the wrinkles. Over time collagen production slows, and you may start to notice more wrinkles on your face. Preventative Botox will soften these wrinkles and delay or prevent wrinkles in key areas.

## Botox in Your 40s and 50s
When you get Botox in your 40s and 50s you can reduce wrinkles and ease deeper creases on your face. You may need a higher dose of Botox to smooth away wrinkles. This may also be a great time to consider adding fillers to your self-care routine.
## Where to Get Botox
Your face is unique, so your treatment plan needs to be tailored to you. Where you get Botox depends on where you have noticeable wrinkles. During a consultation, we’ll help you determine where to get Botox injections for the best results. Usually, we recommend getting Botox injections in locations where wrinkles are the most noticeable. We also offer preventative Botox in areas where you may develop wrinkles in the future. 

Common Botox locations include between the eyebrows, on the forehead, at the corners of the eyes, and around the mouth. There are many other possible injection sites, and we’ll help you determine exactly what you need.
