No doubt, Botox works.
In a face that is beyond the 20s, it immobilizes facial muscles that, when a person smiles or mimics, make a face look older because of wrinkles.
And in a face that is in the 20s, Botox can prevent wrinkles to develop in later years. If I were in my early 20s, especially if I were a woman, I would start using Botox, regardless of what my environment, and even my physician, would be saying.
