Thinking about starting Dysport in your 20s or 30s is more common than you might expect. Many people want to soften movement lines before they etch in, keep a fresh look for photos and events, and feel confident at work and in social settings. At Lorraine Golosow MD in Fort Myers Florida, you can learn what preventive treatment really means so you can decide if it fits your lifestyle and budget.
What preventive Dysport really does
Preventive Dysport works by relaxing specific facial muscles so the skin does not crease as deeply with repeated expressions. Over time, this can slow the look of fine lines on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. It does not change your face or who you are. The goal is a natural expression that simply looks smoother at rest. If you are curious about how treatment works, explore our overview of Dysport.
When to start in your 20s and 30s
There is no single perfect age. The right time is when faint lines remain even after you stop smiling or frowning, or when makeup settles into creases that used to bounce back. Many people begin with very low-dose treatments in their mid to late 20s, while others wait until their early 30s when lines feel more noticeable.
Here are common reasons young adults start after a consultation
- Lines linger at rest in bright light or selfies
- Mascara and concealer collect in crow’s feet or forehead lines
- You want a polished look for events or professional photos
- You prefer small touch-ups now rather than larger corrections later
What results to expect
Expect a softening of movement, not a frozen look. Most patients notice a smoother forehead and a more relaxed brow within a few days, with full effect in about two weeks. Results typically last three to four months for newer users. With consistent maintenance, some people find they can stretch visits a bit longer. It is normal for results to vary by individual muscle strength, metabolism, and how expressive you are day to day.
To support natural-looking outcomes, we map muscles, start conservatively, and adjust at follow-up. If you ever prefer more or less movement next time, we will update the plan. Realistic timing matters. Plan treatment at least two weeks before important events so everything has time to settle.
Safety and who is a good candidate
Healthy adults who are not pregnant or breastfeeding and who do not have certain neuromuscular conditions are often good candidates. Bruising can happen with any injection and usually fades within a few days. You can lower that chance by avoiding blood thinners when medically appropriate and by following simple aftercare. During your visit we will review your health history, discuss goals, and tailor placement so you keep natural expression.
