BOTOX or other injectables may be able to alleviate or delay the need for surgical procedures like a facelift. A facelift is ideal for those who desire a more dramatic change, or those who have a significant amount of sagging skin. That being said, BOTOX and other non-surgical procedures can be used as preventive treatments as early as your twenties to maintain a youthful look into your thirties and forties. Simple treatments early in life may be able to slow down the aging process and diminish the need for more invasive measures.
