Can Botox prevent wrinkles?
It may seem silly to get Botox or Dysport injections in your 30's, but in addition to their ability to temporarily reduce wrinkles, these formulations of botulinum toxin can actually prevent wrinkles before they're etched into your face.
By stopping the repeated muscle contractions that contribute to wrinkles, Botox and Dysport can be used to help break line-forming habits such as frowning or squinting, so you can stay furrow-free for the foreseeable future. And compared to the price of surgery down the line, it may prove to be more cost-effective.
It has been shown that starting the prevention process early can save you from later finding that some wrinkles aggravated by the sun's effects can become permanent.
Not all wrinkles are created equal. If you are a fair-skinned, freckled individual or ignoring the urge to use your daily sunblock, you can find yourself needing more invasive treatments to treat those wrinkles. Botox and Dysport is a simple, non-invasive and non-surgical treatment for wrinkles.
