Botox: Cosmetic treatments are best done when the patient is sufficently bothered by a feature, and a safe and effective treatment exists. Botox is a great way to treat many facial lines caused by muscle movement. You facial plastic or plastic surgeon or dermatologist can help you choose the best treatment for these lines and wrinkles.

When to do Botox: The only person to answer this question is you. If you have certain wrinkles like frown or "11" lines, worry lines on the forehead or crows feet around the eyes then you might consider doing Botox or Dysport to relax the muscles that cause these lines. If they do not bother you then you do not need to treat the. Cosmetic procedures are completely elective. You are in control.

Depends: This is a highly personal question. If you have lines or wrinkles on your face resulting from facial movement or muscle contraction then you are likely a very good candidate for botox. The right time is whenever the movement of lines become a big enough concern that you choose to seek treatment. I hope this information is helpful.

For you: Like any plastic surgery procedure, you should do Botox because it is something that bothers you and you are doing the treatment for yourself and not any other outside pressure.
