Before boarding the preventative Botox bandwagon, there are pros and cons you need to know about. Allure reports on the potential for muscle atrophy, Botox resistance, and more.
Was the concept of “preventative Botox” perhaps dreamed up by the wordsmiths behind “clean beauty” and “anti-aging”? Because the idea of using neuromodulators to avoid rather than correct wrinkles is similarly ambiguous and every bit as polarizing. Preventative Botox is “not a real thing with a set definition,” says Ranella Hirsch, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in Boston. It’s marketing. Clickbait. A hashtag with more than 60 million views.
“The corrugator muscles pull our brows down so forcefully that the forehead muscles have to compensate by contracting and lifting the brows,” Dr. Gendler explains. In some people, deep forehead furrows form as a result. With preventative toxin, “the idea is to make the muscles between the eyebrows work less forcefully, so they don’t pull so much.” It’s best to start countering forehead lines in youth, should you be so inclined.
