Watch me get age-preventitive Botox below:

My position:

Careful contemplation and a whole heap of research lead me take the position that I do condone both the choice to age naturally and the choice to the fight against the ageing process using cosmetic procedures.

I do not think that any woman should feel pressured to look younger than she is or feel insecure about the way she is aging.

I do think it is great that woman have the choice to boost their confidence in the way they look - and if this is through cosmetic procedures, then so be it - so long as they do their research, undergo the procedure at a reputable practice, and err on the side of caution in terms of how far they go.

Natural looks can be achieved and it should always be stressed to your doctor or nurse that this is what you are aiming for.

So, rather than taking a stance, I present myself as your guinea pig - so you can watch me do it, before you try it yourself.

Obviously I don't need Botox for age management reasons. At 24, my skin remains relatively unlined and, although I have my vanities, I am not too concerned with, or insecure about the way I look.

What:
I underwent an age -preventative Botox procedure - that is, the use of Botox for preventing lines and wrinkles from becoming deep set. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive. Getting in there before the ageing process starts.

Who:
It’s most suited for 25 – 35 year olds (after 35 years of age it’s more about Age Management).

Risks:
Risks are the same as for any Botox treatment. They are very minimal. The most common side effect is a headache that may last a few days and can be relieved with panadol. Yes, you can get a droopy eye in extreme cases, BUT this very rarely happens, and should it occur, it only lasts for a couple of days - contrary to popular belief it is not permanent.

Where:
I had my age-preventative Botox at The Caci Medispa. Costs are from $320 per area. Crows Feet, Frown lines and Forehead Line treatments starts from $320.00 per area.

When:
Preventative Botox is necessary around twice a year, about every 6 months in those under 30. From 30 onwards Botox treatments are best received every 3 to 4 months depending on the individual.
