With 59 you are not too old - if you had 95, maybe. There is no age-limit for this treatment. Only rare general alterated health conditions can be an impediment for this amazing procedure.

There is no high limit on Botox treatment.I've had 80 years old patients that wanted to look younger and succeeded.It is true that you cannot look again like 30years old but 10 years you can easily win! The results of the treatment are very nice resulting a more restful and luminous face.If you try it once, you will see the difference for yourself.

BTX is used at much earliest year of age (4 years old) as a therapeutic (such as to treat spasticity). Therefore for aesthetic purposes the issue is not the age but its the clinical evaluation and integration and management plan.

Patients can start having Botox treatments at fifties. The important thing is if the wrinkles so deep that do not respond to Botox. If wrinkles are deep they can't be relaxed sufficiently. Sometimes it has to be combined with fillers in such patients.

Although the company doesn’t have a formal approval for your age, there is no medical reason that you couldn’t have treatment. Unless it would increase the chance of a droop due to a weak forehead, which in turn could cause lowering of the upper eyelids.

You can have Botox, if you dont have any contra-indication. For details regarding contra-indications and side effects related to Botox, you should read the article published in The International Journal of Dermatology by Dr.H.A.Khawaja-" Review: Botox in Dermatology" 2001 ( 2001,40,311-317). You can get the abstract / some details on-line.

Hello Liliane,
It all depends on how deep the lines are.
You can combine botox with a filler, is a non-surgical medical procedure that handles multiples signals of aging, attenuating the expression lines, static and dynamics, redefining contours and replacing volumes.
It is necessary for you to see a doctor and see if you are a candidate for Botox or a facelift surgery.

The botox is good at all ages, depend of what you want to use. It is used in children over 4 years of age and no limit to old age. There are some contra indication so you need to ask the doctor first

It is the best age period to do botox since the facial muscels tend to increase their tonus and consequently sings of mimic augment at that decade. Therefore it is recommended to do so if you want to do actively something against your wrinkles.
