Botox is usually performed at an older age when wrinkles and fine lines are already visible, but some professionals say people should start treatment in their mid-20s or 30s, which is known as preventative Botox. This treatment is done before you see visible signs of aging, and its purpose is to slow down the production of fine lines and wrinkles.

Preventative Botox is meant to delay the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, so people who see early signs of aging may want this procedure, and Dr. Jennifer Owens says wrinkles can be genetic, so if your grandmother or mother has deep wrinkles, you may want to try this treatment. Owens also recommends this treatment for expressive people and those with thin skin.
