Tox for First-Timers: When to Start

Woman closes her eyes during a wrinkle relaxer injection in her forehead If you’ve been noticing faint lines when you smile or raise your eyebrows, you might be wondering when it’s time to start wrinkle relaxers (tox). At Big Life Integrative Health, we use industry-leading wrinkle relaxers such as Jeuveau® and Dysport® to soften expression lines and help patients maintain a naturally refreshed appearance.

But, how do you know whether to start early or wait for wrinkles to appear? Knowing which one makes sense for you is key to getting the best, most lasting results.

When Early Prevention Makes Sense

Wrinkle relaxers work by temporarily relaxing the small facial muscles that cause repetitive movements—like frowning or squinting—that eventually lead to wrinkles.

Starting treatment early doesn’t mean you’ll look frozen. For individuals who start early, before wrinkles become deeply ingrained in the skin, it can help prevent the formation of deeper lines over time.

For many people, the late 20s or early 30s is a good time to consider treatments such as Jeuveau or Dysport. This is the age when many people first start to notice fine lines. Another common issue during this time is that the skin doesn’t smooth out as quickly after frowning, wrinkling the brow, or squinting.

This early approach helps preserve smooth skin and reduces the need for more extensive correction later. People with very expressive faces may start even sooner.

Already Got Wrinkles? It’s Not Too Late For Tox

Already noticing fine lines or deeper wrinkles? It’s not too late for tox. Treatments like Jeuveau and Dysport can soften your existing lines and prevent them from becoming more pronounced.

How Often to Schedule Tox Treatments

Once you begin, maintaining a consistent schedule ensures results stay natural and even. Most wrinkle relaxers last about three to four months, depending on the area treated and your unique muscle activity.

One of the advantages of care at Big Life Integrative Health is that appointments are never rushed. Our practice prioritizes personalized care, so you can feel confident knowing that your provider will take the time to tailor your treatment plan to your unique lifestyle and aesthetic goals.
