If you’re in your 20s or 30s and starting to notice fine lines or expression wrinkles, you’ve probably heard of “preventative Botox.” But is it really worth starting early? As a licensed injector at Third Eye Beauty Lounge in Tempe, Arizona, I help clients of all ages make informed decisions about Botox — not just for appearance, but for long-term confidence and prevention.

Here’s what you should know before booking your first appointment.


1. What Is Preventative Botox?

Preventative Botox is exactly what it sounds like — using small, strategic doses of Botox before deep lines form. It targets early muscle movement in areas like the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet to prevent wrinkles from forming or deepening over time.

 Think of it as skin insurance — not freezing your face, but protecting your future glow.


2. When Should You Start?

Most people begin noticing subtle expression lines in their mid-20s to early 30s. If you see faint lines that linger even when you’re not making expressions, that’s your sign it may be time to consider Botox.

Starting early allows you to maintain smoother skin for longer — meaning you’ll likely need less product and fewer treatments over time.


3. How Often Should You Get It?

For preventative Botox, treatments are typically spaced every 3–4 months, depending on muscle strength and individual goals. Katrina customizes each plan to fit your facial structure and desired look — keeping results natural, balanced, and expressive.


4. Does It Look Natural?

Absolutely. When done by an experienced injector, Botox should enhance — not erase — your expressions. At Third Eye Beauty Lounge, Katrina focuses on subtle, refined results that maintain your natural beauty and facial movement while preventing lines from deepening.

💋 The goal: you look refreshed, not “done.”


5. Is It Really Worth It?

If your goal is to age gracefully, maintain smooth skin, and avoid more aggressive treatments later, yes — preventative Botox is worth it.
Think of it as building a strong foundation for your future self. You’ll spend less correcting deep wrinkles later and more time maintaining your glow.
