Ask the expert: am I ready for botox?

I’m 34 and have started to get fine creases at the edges of my eyes. Is now the right age to start Botox? Should I have fillers too?

There is no fixed age when you should start having Botox. It depends on genetics and lifestyle. In general, most North European women have thinner skin, and are more prone to wrinkles than Middle Eastern women, who have relatively thicker skin. Botox can be used to treat dynamic lines on the face such as frown lines and crow’s feet, whilst fillers are used to treat static lines like the nasolabial folds (the line that runs from the corner of your mouth to the corner of your nose). If you’ve started noticing lines on your face, you could try Botox. It can be used to treat these lines and to prevent new creases from forming.
