Nowadays, Botox and dermal fillers are as common as store cosmetics but that doesn’t mean that they’re right for everyone, according to a recent article from The Plastic Surgery Channel.

In the article, Dr. Jennifer Walden, a certified physician from New York, explained when it’s right to start these cosmetic procedures.  

“Some people in their teens and twenties start considering and asking about Botox and fillers, because it’s widely pervasive in the media,” said Dr. Walden. “But, that’s really too early, because they haven’t even shown the signs of early facial aging that we’re talking about.”

On the average, women start developing wrinkles in their 30s and 40s. And Dr. Walden says this is the age period that best for Botox and other dermal fillers.

“Botox can be used to paralyze the muscles around the eyes and the forehead, to give you a more rested look, and fillers can be used to plump out the nasolabial fold,” explains Dr. Walden.

Dr. Walden also says that it is safe to use cosmeceutical products after receiving Botox or other fillers.
