Understanding the best time to begin anti-aging treatment can help you preserve youthful skin longer. For many, the decision is driven by both visible signs of aging and a desire for preventative care. With expert guidance from Dr. Rizzuto at Dr. Rizzuto’s practice, you can make a confident and informed choice about when to start.
What Happens to Your Skin as You Age?
As you move through your twenties and thirties, your skin gradually produces less collagen and elastin—two critical proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. Fine lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles may begin to form, often deepening with time and repeated facial movements.
Even if your skin still looks youthful, these underlying changes may already be in progress. By starting anti-aging treatment early, you can soften expression lines before they become permanent and help your skin age more gracefully.
When Should You Begin Treatment?
There isn’t a universal “perfect” age to begin treatment, but many individuals start in their mid-to-late twenties or early thirties. This approach is often called “preventative” treatment. By targeting early muscle activity that leads to wrinkles, you can delay the formation of deeper lines.
For those who already notice visible wrinkles, starting treatment in your thirties or forties can help smooth existing lines and prevent further progression. Even later in life, anti-aging treatments can provide noticeable improvements in skin texture and tone.
What Anti-Aging Options Are Available?
Botox is one of the most popular and effective options for reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles—those caused by repetitive facial movements like frowning or squinting. It works by gently relaxing targeted muscles, which helps soften existing wrinkles and prevents new ones from forming.
You may also consider complementary treatments, such as dermal fillers or skin resurfacing procedures, depending on your unique skin condition and goals. A personalized consultation ensures you receive a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
