Should You Consider Botox in Your 20s? Pros and Cons Explained
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Yeah, we all like to quote the saying, “Black don’t crack” and all, but the truth is behind the filters and flawless, edited pictures that assault our eyes on our various social media feeds, black does crack—perhaps a tiny bit, but there’s a crack nonetheless.

Contrary to what the internet might have you believe, having wrinkles as you age is perfectly normal. This is because as one gets older, the skin cells age too, and the ability to produce protein slows down, hence it becomes more difficult for your body to snap back to its normal size and shape, thus leading to wrinkles.

This, however, becomes a problem when wrinkles start appearing on one’s face as early as in their twenties. This problem is mainly attributed to certain lifestyle habits or even hereditary factors, but we can all agree that nobody wants their face full of wrinkles while still in their peak years.

This is where Botox comes into play. There are some misconceptions about this minimally-invasive cosmetic surgery, but with about 4-5 million people getting this surgery annually, those misconceptions apparently hold no water.

What Is Botox Anyway?

Mayo Clinic explains Botox injections as “shots that use toxins to prevent a muscle from moving for a limited time”

The medicine in Botox shots is produced from the same toxin that causes a type of food poisoning called botulism. Don’t fret though, the Botox shots you get are purified and meet medical standards, so there are few to no side effects if used correctly.

This cosmetic surgery was originally invented for individuals in their 50s-60s—those who had already advanced in age and tended to show significant signs of aging, but now, people as young as 20-year-olds get the procedure, which leads us back to the question…

Should You Get Botox In Your 20s?

The answer is yes. It is safe and recommended to get one as a preventative measure but only when you’re in your mid to late twenties. Any other procedure gotten before then is basically a waste of money.

What are the Benefits of Botox?

Botox isn’t only used to treat wrinkles these days. Cosmetic surgeons have advanced to using it for:

  • Treating hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
  • Reducing the size of a muscle (e.g., the masseter muscle)
  • Treating an overactive bladder
  • Treating neck spasms
  • Treating lazy eyes
  • Treating migraines

Side Effects Of Botox

As with virtually all types of surgeries, there are bound to be side effects. Some of the side effects that come with this procedure include:

  • Indigestion
  • Dropping eyelids
  • Flu-like symptoms
  • Pain, swelling or bruising at the treatment site
  • Headache
  • Neckpain

A Word of Advice

Before you hop on the Botox wagon to get the procedure done, you should be careful and adhere to the tips below to get the best experience:

  1. Always schedule a Botox appointment with a certified dermatologist or licensed esthetician.
  2. Avoid getting this procedure if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.
  3. Be sure to have a proper consultation before you get this procedure. If you have any allergies pertaining to the product, this consultation will help to spot it.
