A Common Question
“Doctor, I’m 25. Should I start doing anything?” “At what age should I begin Botox or lifting treatments?” “Should I wait until I see wrinkles first?”
Here’s my answer:
🧠 It’s not just about your age — it’s about your skin and facial structure.
But to make it easier, here’s a general guide by age group.
👶 Age 20–25: Prevention Starts Now
Skin condition: Firm, healthy collagen levels
Early concerns: Dullness, dark circles, early expression lines
Recommended Treatments:
Treatment | Purpose |
Skin Booster | Hydrates and refreshes the skin |
Low-dose Botox | Prevents frown lines and crow’s feet |
Rejuran / PN | Repairs and soothes skin |
Gentle laser | Fades acne marks, under-eye pigmentation |
✨ Focus on early care to prevent deeper issues later.
👩🏻 Age 26–30: Prevent + Delay Signs of Aging
Skin starts to dry, pores enlarge, first fine lines appear
Jawline may begin to lose definition
Recommended Treatments:
Treatment | Purpose |
Targeted Botox | Smooths forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet |
HIFU or RF | Lifts early sagging around jawline |
Skin Booster or Biostimulator | Stimulates deeper collagen production |
Subtle Filler | Enhances chin or temple volume |
✨ This is the age to build a strong skincare foundation.
👩💼 Age 31–40: Restore – Lift – Reshape
Mild sagging, volume shift, thinner skin, tired look
Recommended Treatments:
Treatment | Purpose |
Botox (Full Face) | Smooths wrinkles and defines face shape |
HIFU / Ultherapy | Lifts deeper tissue without surgery |
Filler | Fills under-eyes, smile lines, temples, chin |
Biostimulator | Long-term collagen regeneration |
Rejuran / PRP | Strengthens skin and boosts glow |
✨ Focus on rebuilding structure and slowing deeper aging.
👩🦳 Age 41+: Deep Repair + Structural Support
Clear signs of aging: sagging, volume loss, deep folds, skin thinning
Recommended Treatments:
Treatment | Purpose |
Botox + Filler | Targets wrinkles and restores facial shape |
Biostimulator (e.g. Sculptra, Radiesse) | Builds long-term collagen framework |
HIFU / RF | Re-contours jawline and lifts |
Structural Filler | Supports deep areas like cheekbones or jaw |
Rejuran / Skin Booster | Maintains overall skin quality |
✨ Combine lifting + collagen stimulation to rejuvenate naturally.
Doctor’s Note: It’s Not Just About Age — Look in the Mirror
“Some 40-year-olds have firmer skin than people in their 30s.
The key is not to wait until the damage is obvious.
Starting slowly and appropriately helps you look youthful — naturally.”
Summary
There’s no fixed age to begin Botox, Filler, Biostimulator, or lifting machines.
What matters is understanding your skin’s needs now and planning ahead.
🔑 Consult a doctor to assess your skin, face shape, and goals.
Choosing the right treatment at the right time helps you stay young — naturally and confidently.
