Botox anti-ageing after 30 — Prevention and treatment

After 30, repetitive muscle movements begin to create static lines — wrinkles that are visible even when the face is relaxed. Botox is the only treatment with a proven effect in both treating and preventing this process.

How does Botox work as an anti-ageing treatment?

Botox temporarily blocks the signal from nerve to muscle. The muscle relaxes, the skin above it gets to "rest", and existing lines soften. If the treatment is repeated regularly, new lines are prevented from becoming established.

Prevention — start before you need it

So-called prejuvenation: low doses of Botox from age 28–35 to delay the point at which deep static wrinkles appear. A case report on identical twins found that the sister who had received regular Botox for 13 years did not have the etched lines on the forehead and between the eyebrows that her almost untreated twin had^[1].

Common areas after 30

• Glabella (the frown line): 15–25 units, every 4 months
• Forehead (horizontal lines): 8–15 units, always combined with the glabella
• Crow's feet: 10–20 units in total

Price and interval

• 1 area: SEK 1,800–3,500, every 4 months
• 3 areas combined: SEK 3,500–6,000, every 4 months
• Annual cost of anti-ageing Botox: SEK 10,000–18,000

When is Botox right for you?

• ✅ Movement-related wrinkles in the upper face
• ✅ You want to prevent deep lines
• ✅ Ready for repeat treatments every 4 months
• ❌ Static wrinkles without muscle activity (fillers or laser are a better fit)
• ❌ Sagging skin (Profhilo or ultrasound instead)

Combine with other anti-ageing approaches

Botox deals with expression lines — not skin quality, pigmentation or sagging. For a complete plan, combine it with:

• Profhilo — firmness
• Skin booster — hydration
• Laser — pigmentation
