When Should I Start with Anti-Wrinkle Treatment?

This is the most common question I get asked as an aesthetic doctor.

The simple answer is: THERE IS NO ONE ANSWER FITS ALL!!

But, it is better to start having anti-wrinkle injections before your wrinkles start to appear. It is not uncommon in some countries to start receiving anti-wrinkle treatment once a person becomes 25 years of age. Of course, the age at when one should start having anti-wrinkle treatment would vary depending on the skin type. 

In fact, studies have shown some skin types are more likely to develop wrinkles at a younger age. For example, caucasians develop wrinkles at a much younger age than some eastern Asian nations. 

Benefits of starting anti-wrinkle injections early

You might wonder what’s the harm in delaying wrinkle treatment? 

The longer wrinkles are left untreated, the wrinkles folds can become untreatable. That is to say it cannot be treated with a simple injection. 

Therefore, it is ideal to start anti-wrinkle treatment early on and avoid delaying the treatment so that wrinkles do not become permanent. 

Other measures should be used to avoid further skin damage. Sunscreen care is vital.
