Does botox also work preventively? "Sounds plausible, but no evidence"

Botox effectively reduces existing wrinkles but lacks scientific evidence for preventive use in wrinkle-free individuals. Experts find the idea plausible but unproven. Videos on TikTok suggest starting Botox in youth to prevent wrinkles, but medical professionals emphasize that no studies support this claim. Botox works by temporarily paralyzing muscles, reducing dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. While some dermatologists treat patients before wrinkles appear, they agree that young skin is resilient enough to avoid wrinkles without intervention. The cost of Botox treatments and potential risks should also be considered before deciding to use it preventively.
