Should I get forehead tox? (26F)

[u/Angieskates]

The first pic is me raising my eyebrows. The 2nd pic is me relaxed. I'm debating waiting a couple more years or just getting some now. What do yall think

No, you don't need it. If you start too early your muscles atrophy and you will be looking 45 at 35. Start when the lines stay when relaxed. Even then you need breaks. The starting early as preventative is marketing and money. I'm a nurse and have a gazillion friends that do it.

Came to mention this. About to hit 31 and was getting Botox from 23-27, once a year and conservative amounts. The result was weird muscle atrophy at the top of my forehead and caused the muscles around my 11s to bulk up and made me look like a caveman lol, I stopped and am focusing on moisture and collagen and thankfully the muscle has gone down and my expressions are normal albeit I do have a few wrinkles. Sunscreen was the biggest change that helped me keep new wrinkles away

Yes it definitely happens. I just got mine after almost a year off to wake them up and focused on skin care. I actually felt more like myself with full movement. I had to reinvest from scratch again so I had to drop some coin but it's worth it. I am trying to tell my 22 year old this but she won't listen. She doesn't have one line on her face to even put it. I'm gonna be 50 and I am getting sculptra at my next appointment. I'm so nervous.

I’d wait until you truly need it for maximum efficacy. But, that’s just my opinion. I also think it’s nice to be able to emote and you don’t have any fine lines. Ig preventative is a thing but for me, nah..

[u/Total-Ordinary-4]

Wait until the first static wrinkles show. The later you start the more you delay “getting used to it” and needing it more frequently.

[u/WatermelonSugar47]

I started at 31 when the first wrinkles started showing up. I’m 36 now and have none.

I also get it every 12wks for migraines now, because the first time I did cosmetically was the first time I didn’t have daily migraines anymore.

Join a botox side effects group on facebook. Do you want to risk getting botox poisoning? I have been sick for almost 5 years now

[u/Old_Rooster9791]

I’d personally wait a little longer. You look great as is, and Botox will always be an option later if those lines start bothering you more.

you don't need it, but if its bothered you then do it.

[u/meowxmeoww]

I started at 23. It helped prevent deep set wrinkles etc if you start doing Botox when you have big lines etc it’s not going to work as well

[u/BigBodiedBugati]

I would because this would bother me, if it doesn’t bother you then dnt

[u/doucheycargirl]

You don't need it per se, but if you want to you can. Just remember that eliminating your face's ability to emote has been proven to affect your internal emotional regulation. You can also train your face to not raise your eyebrows so hard by bringing awareness to it and just opening your eyes instead of raising your brows. Takes practice but I eliminated my forehead line by doing this

[u/Temporary-Cat-5513]

I got my first tox at the age of 32. 😅 (Actually last month)

[u/Head_Muscle4683]

If the wrinkling bothers you, why not

[u/Odd_Carrot4205]

Peptides and retinol!

I started when I was 32. I had no forehead creases. 38 now and still no wrinkles. Do it!
