At What Age is it Best to Start Injectibles?

It depends on whether Botox/Dysport, Juvederm, Restylane, Sculptra etc. are being used to repair an existing problem, prevent problems later, or create beauty by re-contouring areas lacking desireable bone structure.

On repair – examples would be an obvious frown line or lines around the mouth or mild sagging. On prevention, it would be just the beginning of lines based on muscular patterns in the face or early volume loss (often seen in serious aerobic athletes, for example).

But there is no one rule or age that applies to everyone. Each individual needs an individual plan that looks at their particular goals (repair, prevention, re-contouring) and their current skin and face – not a “cookie cutter” approach.

One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
