What’s the Best Age for Botox?

When Should You Start Botox?

Deciding on the “right age” for Botox is less about a number and more about when your skin, lifestyle and goals align. In Canada especially, where good skin care and medical standards go hand in hand, it’s important to look at the full picture rather than a fixed age.

Here’s a breakdown of what to consider — and what we believe makes the most sense for many Canadians.

Why is age just one piece of the puzzle?

Your chronological age gives a rough guideline. But what really matters are things like:

• How much muscle movement do you have in your face (smiling, frowning, squinting).
• Whether lines are dynamic (only when you move muscles) or static (visible at rest).
• Your skin’s condition: sun damage, genetics, smoking, and skincare history.
• Your goals: Do you want prevention or correction?
• Your readiness to commit to maintenance (because Botox isn’t “once and done”).

At Lucere, our dermatologists often see patients in their late 20s or 30s who want to stay ahead of the curve — and older patients who wish to soften existing lines.

Both are excellent times to start, depending on your goals

At what ages do people commonly begin Botox?

Here’s a quick breakdown of typical age ranges and what the focus tends to be:

In our opinion at Lucere: If you’re in your late 20s and already seeing expression lines that stick around, it’s a good time to book a consult. If you’re 30s and noticing more permanent lines, this is the correction era. Being 40+? No worries — you absolutely can still achieve excellent results.

Botox Cost and Units in Canada (and at Lucere)

While prices vary across Canada, Lucere maintains transparent, competitive rates that reflect our expertise, advanced technology, and personalized care.

At Lucere, because you’re working with board-certified dermatology expertise and advanced tech, you may find the dosage more tailored and the result more refined.

Maintenance: What to Expect After Your First Treatment

Starting is one thing. Keeping your results is another — and Lucere helps guide this journey.

How Long Do Results Last?

• On average: The effect of Botox lasts about 3 to 4 months. Some may get up to ~6 months, others shorter (~2-3).

• First time clients may experience slightly shorter duration; repeated treatments can sometimes extend the interval.

• At Lucere, the team monitors your progress and adjusts protocols accordingly.

Maintenance Schedule

• Many clients schedule touch-ups every 3–6 months.

• If you have strong facial muscles (e.g., you express a lot, you’re male) you may need treatments closer to every ~3-4 months.

• Over time, you might find fewer units are needed or treatments spaced further apart — especially under expert hands like Lucere’s.

What Will You Decide During Maintenance?

• Do you stick to the same dose or go lighter (for prevention)?

• Do you treat exactly the same areas or add new ones (neck, jaw, other zones)?

• Has your lifestyle changed (e.g., more sun exposure, smoking, muscle habits)?

• Budget for ongoing maintenance: If you treat 2-3 times a year, plan accordingly.
