DocTalk-The Truth About Anti-Aging Treatments

Episode #64

James Here! 👋 In this latest podcast short episode of DocTalk, Dr. Jenna Burton and I dive into a topic many wonder about the right time to start anti-aging treatments like Botox and fillers. 🧖‍♀️💉 The consensus? It all depends on you! 🎯 Those with a healthy lifestyle who avoid sun damage and take good care of their skin might not need these treatments early on. Instead, these treatments are best utilized to restore what's been lost over time – usually kicking in around our late 20s and early 30s. The industry's take on Botox and fillers has dramatically shifted in the last decade. 🔄 No longer are we injecting 18-19-year-olds to prevent aging, but rather using these treatments to subtly dial back the hands of time when people start feeling the need to look fresher. 💫💁‍♀️ Overuse of Botox, especially, can lead to issues like developing antibodies against it and muscle thinning, so caution is advised. Remember, your skin in your early 20s is still producing collagen and maintaining elasticity – there isn't necessarily a need to intervene at that stage. The key takeaway is: start when you have a need, not a moment sooner! 😌
