Botox: is it your turn yet?

We talked to Dr. Patrícia Manfroi, biomedical doctor and teacher, to answer the main questions about anti-aging treatments for young people, especially regarding botulinum toxin, the favorite botox.

Is there a right age to start Botox treatment?

No! The specialist explains that there is no minimum age to start treatment with Botox, as wrinkles and expression lines can appear at different ages – it will depend on each case.

Patricia Manfroi warns, however, of the contraindications (which exist!!!): people who are pregnant, have low immunity or have had a vaccine less than 30 days ago should not undergo botox treatment.

Is Botox a preventative anti-aging treatment?

Yes! According to biomedicine, botox is a treatment for wrinkles that are already marked on the skin – the so-called “static wrinkles” – but also a preventive procedure, which prevents these lines from forming.

In addition to Botox, there are other preventative anti-aging treatments that can also help contain the effects of aging. Play! ▶️

Botox has a average duration of 90 days, which can vary due to several factors – such as diet and physical exercise. Biomedical doctor Patrícia explains how it acts on our skin. ⤵️
