Botox Fort Collins COAs far as anti-aging goes, “rejuvenation” has become the latest buzzword. After all, a lot of topical skincare products and treatments are out there designed to rejuvenate and renew your complexion.

There is a trend towards “prejuvenation” nowadays. The concept of prejuvenation, a portmanteau of prevention and rejuvenation, encompasses both preventative and restorative cosmetic procedures that younger people nowadays are adopting.

Young adults opt to undergo cosmetic procedures earlier to stop time in their tracks before it does any damage. Discover why many people are getting  Botox in Fort Collins, CO nowadays.

At 4Ever Young in Fort Collins, we understand the fear of aging. That’s why we’ve got the perfect solution for you– Preventive Botox! ⁣

What is Prejuvenation?

We all know what Botox is. It’s such a popular cosmetic treatment. Botox injection can improve the appearance of your skin and reduce fine lines on your face without having to undergo surgery. It is safe, quick, and effective.

But what is prejuvenation?

Rather than hating those pesky “11” lines between your brows or crow’s feet near your eyes, how about preventing them in the first place? Essentially, this is what prejuvenation is all about.

Many people in their 20s and 30s are getting it not because they have wrinkles but because they think early use will help prevent and delay the formation of wrinkles. Preventive Botox aims to prevent the appearance of lines and wrinkles from forming.

Patients and doctors say social media is to blame for the trend, fuelled by picture-perfect images of influencers and celebrities.

By keeping the skin healthy, happy, and strong enough to withstand daily stresses, prejuvenation delays the signs of aging on the skin.

How Does Preventive Botox Work?

Botox, derived from purified Botulinum toxin bacteria, works by stopping the neurotransmitter that makes muscles move. It paralyzes the muscles beneath the skin, preventing them from moving. Moving and bending a piece of paper so many times eventually gets a crease.

This is how wrinkles form. If the paper doesn’t move or bend so much, it won’t get a crease. Injecting into the muscles that commonly cause wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, and eyebrows will prevent wrinkles from forming.

By slowing the use of those muscles, it prevents or delays the development of lines. It’s like you’re training your face not to create lines and wrinkles. Preventative Botox is commonly used on the forehead and glabellar area (between the eyebrows).

Using it preventatively, you can avoid deeper facial lines, making you look older and tired. Plus, they’re harder to treat once they develop. In general, if you are using it to prevent wrinkles, you will require fewer treatment sessions in the future.

How effective is Preventive Botox?

The efficacy of preventive Botox is challenging to quantify since the full effects don’t reveal themselves until 20 to 30 years later.

In addition, the absence of wrinkles and fine lines is harder to evaluate than their presence. Most patients who started regular preventive Botox in their 20s may have wrinkles in their 50s, but they will likely be smoother and less deep.

When can I start Botox?

There is no “magic age” when you should start preventive treatments, but starting in your 20s and 30s is expected. A primary reason for getting Botox injections in your 20s is to prevent the signs of aging, such as crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and fine lines.

Getting it early enough and having it done properly will prevent you from needing it as much later on. For younger patients concerned about the frozen look on their face, we recommend ultra-targeted, low-dose injections of it into specific areas of the face, such as their forehead, brows, or eyes.

Want to stay younger without surgery? Turn back time with Botox injections that could prevent the formation of fine lines and wrinkles in just a few minutes.

Are there pros and cons?

Regardless of how young patients start getting neurotoxin injections, they won’t look 20 forever.

Although Botox effectively prevents and reverses wrinkles between the eyebrows and on the forehead, it isn’t used as much around the mouth since paralyzing the muscles there could affect speech and swallowing.

Botox injections are non-invasive and safe aesthetic procedures that eliminate the need for surgical or more invasive techniques. Facial rejuvenation treatments that need surgery may offer better results, but is the pain and recovery time worth it? Plus, the cost is too expensive.

You won’t be under sedation or anesthesia, so you will not need to prepare for or recover from surgery. Unlike invasive procedures and surgeries, there’s no risk of serious complications with this procedure.

What Else Can I Do?

There are other ways to incorporate prejuvenation into your routine besides injectables. Other prejuvenation treatments can help you get the skin you deserve.

  • Microneedling helps reveal younger skin by encouraging cell turnover and healthy collagen production.
  • Always wear sunscreen to prevent wrinkles and discoloration.
  • Incorporate anti-aging skincare products, such as antioxidants.
