Anti-Wrinkle Injectable: Is There a Perfect Age to Get Botulinum Toxin?

While countless creams and serums claim to soften or reduce wrinkles, their results are not comparable to what botulinum toxin can offer. Made from a toxin produced by the bacterium called Clostridium botulinum, this injectable blocks the signal from the nerves to the muscles, which then relaxes the wrinkles.


The effects of botulinum are significant, with full effects showing within two weeks after the procedure. The smooth or reduced appearance of wrinkles can give you a refreshed and energized appearance. When administered correctly, it can restore your youthful face while still being able to make facial expressions.


But is there a perfect age to get this injectable? Is it better to get botulinum toxin treatments in Singapore when you’re older or have more wrinkles? Is there a right or wrong time to start an anti-wrinkle treatment? Continue reading as we answer these questions and explore more about this injectable. 


What is botulinum toxin for?


A popular brand for botulinum toxin is US FDA-approved for treating dynamic facial wrinkles. These refer to the lines caused by facial expressions or muscle movements, such as when you frown, squint, smile, and laugh. Common dynamic wrinkles include:

  • Frown lines (wrinkles between the eyebrows)

  • Horizontal forehead lines
  • Crow’s feet (wrinkles in the corner of the eyes)

Some also turn to this injectable to reduce or treat:

  • Smoker’s or lipstick lines (lines above the upper lip)

  • Bunny lines (wrinkles on the bridge or sides of the nose)
  • Lowered eyebrows
  • Platysma bands or neck wrinkles


As previously mentioned, botulinum toxin works by temporarily paralyzing or weakening the muscle responsible for lines and wrinkles. It is injected into the muscles and can take less than 30 minutes. You can see initial effects after three to four days, but full results appear after 14 days. The results last three to four months.
