English
Yes. In the UK, it's illegal to administer Botox for cosmetic reasons to anyone under 18, according to the Botulinum Toxin and Cosmetic Fillers (Children) Act 2021.
In the U.S., the FDA approves Botox for cosmetic use from age 18 and up.
Many dermatologists suggest starting mid-to-late 20s to early 30s, especially for prevention of fine lines and dynamic wrinkles.
Some practices consider early 30s as the ideal time for preventative treatment.
Yes. Preventative Botox (often applied in smaller, targeted doses) may help slow wrinkle formation before they become prominent.
However, experts caution that long-term overuse may contribute to muscle weakening or resistance, and the long-term effects remain under study.
Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy or dermarolling) uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin.
This process stimulates your body's natural healing response, promoting increased collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer skin. It can also enhance absorption of serums and active ingredients.
Microneedling can improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, enlarged pores, skin texture issues, and discoloration.
It's also sometimes used in combination with topical treatments for better results.
Most people describe only mild discomfort, often likened to “sandpaper” on the skin. A topical numbing cream is applied 30–45 minutes before the procedure to minimize sensation.
A typical session includes numbing, followed by needle application with a device (Dermapen, SkinPen, etc.). The procedure takes 30–90 minutes depending on area.
Temporary side effects include redness, swelling, flaking, and mild discomfort, usually lasting a few days. Most people can return to normal activities shortly after.
Initial improvements, such as tighter, more even-toned skin, can appear within 1–2 weeks.
Full results build over months as collagen regenerates; effects may last several months or more, especially with proper skin maintenance.
Microneedling is generally safe. Common temporary effects include redness, peeling, pinpoint bleeding, bruising, and sensitivity.
Rare complications can include infection, hyperpigmentation, scarring (e.g., tram-track scars), or allergic reactions, especially if performed improperly or by an untrained provider.
Yes. It’s often paired with serums (e.g., vitamin A or C, hyaluronic acid), PRP (platelet-rich plasma), or growth-factor-based treatments to amplify results.
However, combined procedures like “vampire facials” should only be done in medical settings due to increased infection risk.
A typical recommendation is 3–5 sessions spaced 3–8 weeks apart.
After achieving desired results, maintenance sessions may be done annually or as advised by your provider.
Avoid if you have active acne, skin infections, blood disorders, are on blood-thinners, have eczema, psoriasis, keloid scarring, or changing moles.
Those with cold sore history may need antiviral prep. Always consult with a qualified professional to assess your suitability.
