Neurotoxins & Wrinkle Prevention FAQS
What’s the best age to start Botox for prevention in Boston?
Preventive Botox can start as early as your mid-to-late 20s, depending on your facial anatomy, skin condition, and expression patterns. Many patients in Boston begin neuromodulator treatments between ages 25 and 30 to prevent dynamic lines—like forehead wrinkles or crow’s feet—from becoming deeper and more permanent. Boston Beautox offers personalized consultations to assess whether preventive Botox is right for you, focusing on subtle, natural-looking outcomes.
How long does Botox last and when should I schedule a touch-up?
Botox typically lasts between 3 to 4 months, though results can vary based on individual metabolism, dosage, and treatment area. For consistent, wrinkle-smoothing results, most patients schedule touch-ups every 12 to 16 weeks. At Boston Beautox in South Boston, treatment plans are tailored to each client to maintain a refreshed, natural appearance over time.
What’s the difference between Botox and Dysport for frown lines?
Botox and Dysport are both FDA-approved neuromodulators used to relax facial muscles and reduce the appearance of frown lines. Dysport tends to spread more easily and may act slightly faster, making it ideal for larger areas like the forehead. Botox is more precise, which may be preferred for small, targeted areas. At Boston Beautox, our injectors help determine the best option based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Can Botox treat jaw clenching or TMJ in Boston?
Yes, Botox can be used to treat jaw clenching and symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). By injecting Botox into the masseter muscle, tension is reduced, alleviating pain and sometimes even slimming the lower face. Boston Beautox offers Botox for TMJ and jaw tension, customized to each patient’s needs. Many clients in South Boston find significant relief within days of treatment.
