Laugh lines give you character especially when you smile. But if you’re bothered by your wrinkles, it’s nice to know you’ve got lots of options.
Anti-Wrinkle injections are one good option. When injected correctly, the results look beautifully natural, smooth and fresh.
Before you start – It is important to have real expectations about your results and be realistic about what Anti Wrinkle injections can & cannot do.
These type of injections can help to smooth out your existing wrinkles and prevent new wrinkles from developing.
Anti Wrinkle injections cannot smooth out very deep wrinkles. In fact, the over injecting will result in a “frozen face,” rather than a natural refreshed look.
When to start Anti Wrinkle Injections
Enjoy being young and don’t be afraid of aging. It is perfectly NORMAL to have fine lines when you smile or frown.
These little lines usually vanish when your face is relaxed and at rest.
When your wrinkles are still visible while your face is at rest…that’s the time to THINK about having Anti- Wrinkle injections as a preventative treatment.
Dr. Mark Hamilton always advises his patients to start treatments ONLY when their wrinkles are beginning to hang around and are look very noticeable when their faces are at rest.
Patients with very fair and fine skin types, often like to start treatments in their mid to late twenties.
Patients with darker skin tones usually don’t need treatments until their mid to late 30’s.
Is it Too Early to Start Anti Wrinkle Injections?
It is most unusual for someone to need wrinkle smoothing injections under the age of 25 years.
Most aesthetics doctors are very reluctant to start a patient at such a young age on this type of cosmetic procedure and will always ensure that they really understand the implications involved.
Preventative Treatments
It’s possible to benefit from preventative treatments as early as 28-30 years of age. Before that age it is usually not likely you have developed enough lines and wrinkles that need treating.
“According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, women in their late 20’s make up 30 % of cosmetic injectable users. They start as a preventive measure which some doctors recommend stating that the earlier you start anti wrinkle injections, the better since it is best used as a preventative measure to avoid getting fine lines and wrinkles. It works by relaxing the muscle; once relaxed, it relaxes the overlying skin, so you don’t get wrinkles.”

You want to slow down the appearance of wrinkles before you reach your early 30’s. Preventative treatments administered in your late 20’s, can help to maintain a youthful appearance as you grow older.

Taking action with anti-aging injections will prevent lines, wrinkles and loose skin from forming too soon and will help treatment results to last longer.
