At what age should I begin using Botox?

I’ll be 29 in October. I have minimal crows feet,and brow lines. Since I was 21 I’ve not left the house w/o sunscreen, plus I use lots of moisturizer, that contain good things like Hyaluronic acid. Im wondering when I should start using Botox. I don’t want to look like Joan Rivers or anything, but I’d like to stay a step ahead so my skin looks nice, as I age. Any suggestions?

Before deciding on Botox, you should make sure to be clear on all the details. This includes the details the marketing department at Allergan (the company that owns Botox) don’t care to share. Firstly, Botox is not just chemicals. It’s botulism (a neurotoxin… poison), which paralyzes muscle tissue. This actually does nothing to help your skin. It works by making the face unable to move muscles, and you’re left without any further expression lines (aside from whatever you may already have). Secondly, Botox can migrate. This is something that people trying to sell you Botox will tell you “there isn’t enough evidence to prove that it can migrate far”, but they can’t legally tell you that it isn’t known to migrate. For example, an injection of Botox in the forehead can migrate to the upper eyelid. Wherever Botox settles, the muscles will be paralyzed until the neurotoxin makes its way out of the body (usually 3-4 months). Additionally, you’ll want to make very sure that the person administering the Botox injection is qualified to do so. I would go with a dermatologist, or a nurse in a dermatologist’s office. I would avoid going to a spa (unless it’s a medi-spa, with at least a dermatology nurse performing the injection).

Now that I’ve said all that, I’m pretty certain it’s safe and legal (non-life-threatening) to have Botox if you’re healthy and over 18 yrs of age. I’ve known several people that have had Botox and love it, but as an Esthetician, I wouldn’t do it. Botox is a good treatment for chronic pain, but I personally wouldn’t use it otherwise. The use of Botox is all about a person’s self-image. I’d absolutely support you in your decision, should you decide to receive the injections. But I’d strongly urge you to do a lot or research into the side-effects, risks and even the company that produce it (and it’s copy-cat companies). Best to make an informed decision.

Hope this helps you start your decision-making process!

You knew it had to happen. Eventually the whole world would be looking at every Hollywood star and trying to figure out the one burning question in the back of their mind, “Did she or didn’t she?” or, he as the case may be. We of course are referring to the stars who have gone and gotten themselves a bit of Botox injected into their faces.

While none of the rumors can be confirmed, except by the few stars who have actually admitted to having Botox injections, these rumors are still flying around the Internet and magazines. Some may surprise you. Others, you probably would have bet your life that they were getting pumped up.

We’ll start the rumor mill off with probably two of the hottest stars today because of the show “Desperate Housewives”. We’re of course referring to the very hot Nicolette Sheridan and Teri Hatcher. In an actual interview, Hatcher admits to having had some work done on her face. She said, and I quote, “In the past I’ve had Botox and collagen”. She then went on to deny that she and Nicolette Sheridan have had any plastic surgery and didn’t know if Sheridan had had Botox injections. Sheridan herself would not offer any comment but if you take a good look at her face, as many plastic surgery experts have pointed out, and compare it to her days on Knots Landing, it is painfully obvious that she has had work done on her face and most likely has had Botox as well.

Hatcher went on to say that she stopped the Botox injections, not for any health reasons but simply because she finally decided to let herself age naturally. She said that the last time she had an injection was over a year ago.

Another big name in the rumor mill is Cher. She has always publicly admitted to having work done on her face as well as many other parts of her body. However, she admits to some surgeries but when asked about other surgeries she denies them. As for Botox, she has never actually said she has or hasn’t. The question probably just never came up.

Of course, one of the most famous names in history for plastic surgery is Joan Rivers. She is one of the few people who has admitted to having so much work done on her face and her body that she incorporates jokes about these procedures into her comedy routine. She has made Botox a running joke in her life and it has paid off.

The men are not exempt from the Botox craze. Ryan Seacrest, it has been reported, has been forbidden by doctors to have anymore Botox treatments for certain undisclosed health reasons. These reports have not been confirmed but they are all over the Internet.

And the list of stars goes on and on. Famous celebrities on the rumor mill also include Sylvester Stallone, Elizabeth Taylor, Madonna and Phyllis Diller.

With millions of people getting these shots each year, according to statistics, somebody is getting them and let’s face it, some of these people shouldn’t be looking as good as they do.
