As we grow older, our skins tend to produce new skin cells and shed dead skin cells slowly, with this slow process of shedding making your skin look dull. Elastin and Collagen decrease and become weaker. These transformations will make your skin look shaggy and wrinkled in your 30s. To stop the issue of aging with no side effects people have largely turned over to Botox injectables. It works by binding to and eliminating the bridges between muscles and neurons, blocking the neurotransmitters from reaching the muscles. So, it kind of freezes aging for a short time. The best time to do Botox is during your 20s before the lines even appear.

Do a research on its price
Not all Botox treatments cost the same. Although there are a lot of Botox treatments available, it is important to approach a qualified doctor, even if they charge more. Yes, it is true that some doctors do charge super less and provide good treatment and at the same time, there are doctors who use synthetic fillers that could cause serious side effects. Be smart and research on the quality and price of the treatment.

Bruising is possible
Post-Botox treatment can leave a little redness and blotchy. It is quite normal and fade away within a few days. In some cases, a bruise may indicate symptoms of allergy. Consult your doctor immediately if the bruise does not fade in a few days. Also neck pain, headache, fatigue, dry mouth has also been reported. Numbness, twitching or muscle spasms, and droopy eyelids are also other side effects of Botox.

It might take some time to notice a visible difference
There is another misconception lurking around that is about the instant results of Botox, which is not true. You will start to see the results only after 3 to 5 days, but it will take over 2 weeks for the complete look to kick in. You can notice or sense the changes when the injected area is left immobile, which means your face no more shows curves or lines.

It will hurt a bit
Generally, injections hurt, but the needles used for Botox are very thin, so the pain is usually less. The doctor will give local anesthesia like a cream 20 to 30 minutes before the injection, to numb the area. You might feel a little pain once the anesthesia is worn out.

There is no fixed age bar
There is no age bar for taking up Botox. But the recommended age might differ because each person’s muscle is present differently. Most doctors believe that Botox can be a preventive measure if taken in your 20s. It preserves the youthfulness of the skin and stops developing fine lines.

Dosage will vary from person to person
Dosage should be administered as per the person’s age. The average dosage of Botox in your 20s is between 10 and 25 units. The maximum dosage should not exceed more than 400 units in an interval of 3 months.
