Botox - is 48 too late to start?!

I've never considered my appearance much before but am considering Botox. I've discovered a few friends have been having it regularly for years!

Is 48 too late to start? What results have you had starting later?

What made you decide to do it?

Bit of background on me.....
I wear minimal make up to work but will put a little more on for going out or dressing up occasions.

I've just started a weight loss drug to help me reach a healthy BMI (I am at 30 now and want to get to 23).

I dress smartly for work whether I'm in the office or wfh. Eg Dresses and blazers for the office. Smart top for wfh.

I'm not very tall but can no longer walk in heels so opt for smart flats with a small heel for the office.

I get my hair coloured at the hairdresser to try to blend the very white hairs that frame my face! Zoom calls really bring them out.

I've also started to notice a few wrinkles that I think age me.

I am at a senior level and work with a lot of men. I think I've become more conscious of how I look so I don't get ignored.

What has Botox done for you and would you recommend it?

Yes I highly recommend it! I'm 42 and have been having it for a couple of years. No more lines and a fresh face, what's not to like!

You're not too old to start but definitely get it done by a doctor rather than Tina at the local beauty salon.

Thanks @LilyFox
Where / how did you find the right person to do yours?
