What Age Should You Start Botox or Filler?
Whether you're 25 or 55, you’ve probably wondered if you're too young, too old, or just on time for aesthetic treatments like Tox and filler. The truth? There's no one-size-fits-all answer. But there are general signs and milestones our providers at About Face Aesthetics look for when guiding clients in Chapin, Union, and across the Midlands.
Here’s how we break it down.
Your 20s: Prevention and Subtle Enhancements
This is when many clients first hear about "Baby Botox" or start paying more attention to preventative skincare. Most are not dealing with deep lines or volume loss yet, but they are beginning to notice how habits, stress, or sun exposure affect their skin.
We typically recommend:
- Low-dose Tox (Baby Botox) to reduce movement in areas prone to early lines (forehead, between brows, crow’s feet)
- Medical-grade skincare to build a strong foundation and prevent premature aging
- Occasional filler for those wanting subtle lip enhancement or improved facial balance
In your 20s, the goal is not to change your face. It’s to protect what’s already there.
Your 30s: Correction Meets Prevention
Many clients in their 30s are juggling career, family, and a faster-paced life. This often shows up as deeper expression lines, under-eye fatigue, or early volume loss.
At this stage, we may recommend:
- Tox for stronger expression lines and longer-lasting results
- Filler in cheeks, chin, or lips to gently restore structure and contour
- RF microneedling or Regenerative Plasma to support skin texture and tone
- Routine maintenance plans to stay ahead of deeper lines and collagen loss
This is also the age when sun damage or hormonal changes can begin to impact the skin. A customized approach makes all the difference.
Your 40s and Beyond: Restoration and Glow
Clients in their 40s, 50s, and beyond often come in looking for a refreshed, natural lift without surgery or downtime. We see concerns like volume loss, skin laxity, and deepening folds.
That’s where a layered, full-face approach shines:
- Filler to restore mid-face volume and reduce sagging
- Tox to smooth deep lines while preserving expression
- Microneedling with RF to tighten skin and reduce pore size
- Skincare to boost hydration, elasticity, and radiance
It’s never too late to start, our most satisfied clients are the ones who say, “I finally did this for me.”
It’s Not About the Number
The truth is, it’s not your age that determines the right time to start. It’s your goals, your anatomy, and your comfort level. That’s why every treatment plan at About Face Aesthetics begins with a personalized consultation. Whether you’re in your 20s, 40s, or anywhere in between, we’ll guide you toward the options that support your long-term confidence and skin health.
