Most clients we see for Botox in San Diego want to manage wrinkles or crow's feet that have already formed. But did you know you can also have preventative Botox sessions if you wish to keep your youthful appearance before the signs of age start showing? If you come for regular preventative Botox sessions, it won't prevent wrinkles from forming, but it does mean you won't have to see what your "aged" face looks like.We will carefully consider which areas are suitable for preventative Botox and what you can expect during a Botox appointment.What is Preventative BotoxIt’s possible that you may have heard several Botox myths particularly when it comes to preventative Botox. We feel we need to lay out all the facts so you know what to expect from preventative Botox and have no misconceptions about what it can provide.The first and most important fact is that preventative Botox does not stop wrinkles or the aging process. It does, however, numb the muscles, so fine lines and wrinkles don't become more prominent. Using preventative Botox as soon as you see faint fine lines appearing, you’ll never have to find out how much your face has aged for as long as you maintain regular follow-up Botox appointments.Botox is a non-surgical toxin treatment that is usually injected into the forehead and side of the eyes to reduce the appearance of small wrinkles around the forehead and mouth and crow's feet. The treatment is injected into the area at one or several sites, with a numbing cream applied to reduce the pain of the injection.Target Areas for Preventative Botox For cosmetic and anti-aging purposes, Botox is injected into the facial area to smooth out wrinkles or fine lines. You will most likely start seeing fine lines or crow's feet appearing in your late 20s, and it is an excellent time to start using anti-aging creams and book preventative Botox sessions. If you smoke or drink a lot, you might see more intense lines forming at an early age and will benefit the most from preventative Botox.

Advantages of Preventative Botox Botox is so popular, and why preventative Botox is on the increase is mostly due to its quick results and convenience. There are many questions about Botox that we get that we would be happy to answer for you. Your consultation session will take a while, but the actual Botox procedure will only take about 10 minutes. Here are a few reasons why so many people are opting to take advantage of preventative Botox:

1. Minimally invasive. The toxin will be injected into your forehead or crow's feet, and you can be on your way and get on with the rest of your day. Follow up sessions will depend on how fast your metabolism is and the rate at which your body absorbs the toxin.
2. Recovery time. The effects of Botox can usually be seen from two weeks on and last for four to six months. Botox, done by professionals in a safe environment, can give you a lasting youthful appearance by reducing the appearance of fine lines, crow's feet or lip lines that will give away your age. You don't need any downtime to recover, and with the help of an ice pack, any indication that you have received treatment on the day will be gone in an hour or so.
3. No surgery. Botox is a minimally invasive procedure, and except for some swelling around the injection site, you won't have much else to worry about. It’s the best option if you want to look younger without going under the knife and at a fraction of the cost.
4. The great thing about Botox is that it does fade, so it can easily be undone if you don't like the look or feel, but we’re almost sure that the benefits you’ll see are something you won’t want to lose.
5. Botox sessions only have to be done about every six months, and you have time to set money aside while you think about how much you are saving compared to a cosmetic operation.
