Do you wonder who should try Botox injections? The short answer is that it’s pretty much whoever wants to try and take advantage of them. It’s not for everyone, but it’s also not a medical necessity that should be prescribed or pushed on to people.

If you’re someone that would like to look better, though, why not take advantage of it? If you can find a safe and reputable Botox provider that you can afford and has a track record of obvious success, then there’s nothing wrong with helping yourself look better.

You might feel pressured to get it. Misogyny, ageism, media pressure, and the constant stream of ‘perfect’ faces coming from social media and magazine covers all adds up to a lot of people feeling inferior about how they look. When done right, Botox injections might help, but is it really right for you? It’s fine to do it if you think it’ll make you happy with yourself, but if you’re doing it to please others, then you might want to rethink your motivations for looking into this in the first place.

If you do think you’re going to do it, make sure you take a good look at the person that might improve your look. They should not only have before-and-after photos but lots of them. There should be obvious proof that they can do their work successfully, but also in ways that you like. Some might be too obvious for your taste, whereas others might be too subtle.

Also, try to read up on the science of aging. It’s one thing to say that you’re doing this to look better, but you should be more specific. Is there an event on your calendar coming up you’re trying to get ready for? Are you doing this purely as a preventative measure? Or are you just trying to fix something up which bothers you? You might find it’s a combination of things.

Also, consider what other steps you might take first. Are their skincare routines or products you could try instead? Have you consulted your primary care physician or dermatologist for their opinions and suggestions? Don’t just run to Botox as some miracle cure because it’s the hot thing right now.

Also, take into account your ancestors and your bones. Some parts of your facial structure might need more help than others. Also, photos of family members older than you might help you get some idea how you’re going to age physically, so you might be able to target prevention areas.

For that matter, don’t fall for anyone that says they can just inject your forehead a lot and make you look beautiful. Your face requires forehead muscles to stay lifted, so you might have someone nail your forehead creases and lines only to cause new wrinkles and sagging elsewhere, which defeats the purpose.

If you’re wondering who should try Botox injections, it’s honestly anyone that can afford them, wants to halt their aging cycle, can withstand them safely, and is willing to keep up with the upkeep treatments every few months, since the benefits of Botox won’t last forever.
