How would you council women in their 20s and 30s about BOTOX?

This is such an interesting subject because at first blush you would think that women in their 20s and 30s should not need any cosmetic repair. But it is not just age that creates frown lines, it’s that we are genetically prone to frowning. You may know someone in the 80s that does not have frown lines naturally and someone else in their 20s that has very deep frown lines. It is in those individuals that we can prevent the progression of those motion lines by starting BOTOX earlier.

What’s your advise on cosmetic fillers like Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm?

In younger women the number one reason we use cosmetic filler is for enhancing lips. As women age, into their 40s, we use cosmetic fillers more for nasal labial folds, more commonly known as “parenthesis lines” around the mouth. We also use it to repair age and sun related lip lines.
