Estheticians: Botox as Wrinkle Prevention

When most people think of Botox, they envision a person with deep set wrinkles as the doctor fills the wrinkles away. While this might be true for many clients, more and more younger people are getting Botox as a preventative measure. One facial cosmetic surgeon I spoke with told me that she can't do much with Botox when people come in with crow's feet and other deeply rooted wrinkles, but clients who come in either before they develop wrinkles or when they only have mild wrinkling have the best results. The Botox freezes the muscles before it can develop the wrinkles, before it can create deeper wrinkles. Why is this important to esthetics? We might have clients who ask us about wrinkle prevention, and in addition, to all the great services we give them, Botox might be another great wrinkle zapper in their skin care toolbox!
