You Might be Ready for Botox if
- Deep creases are visible when you express yourself. When we move the face, lines appear. This is normal. The lines are referred to as dynamic wrinkles and, when we stop making a certain expression, they go away. The thing about dynamic wrinkles is that they create pathways in the skin and eventually become etched permanently. Some people get Botox at this time to prevent this from happening too soon. This is sometimes called “preventive Botox.”
- Your skin is thinning and permanent lines are getting deeper. By the time most people reach their mid-thirties or forties, they have a few fine lines in areas like the outer edges of the eyes or between the eyebrows. Frown lines, in particular, make the face look less friendly. This is a common problem for which people seek Botox. When the skin is also thinning, it may be necessary to combine Botox with other treatments, like dermal fillers.
- The symmetry of your face has changed. An interesting thing happens to many people as they age: they lose symmetry in their eyebrows. Over time, due to a change in muscle and skin tone, one eyebrow may sit lower on the forehead than the other. One of the ways that Botox is often used is to lift one or both brows to a more uniform, youthful position.
