According to the April 2008 issue of Allure magazine (the source for this article), you just may want to consider it. Above shows two identical twins, both 38 years old. The twin on the left had only two Botox treatments in the past 13 years. The twin on the right had regular Botox injections in her forehead for 13 years – since age 25. As a result, the twin on the right has almost no deep wrinkles, while her sister has “deeper and permanently etched wrinkles in the forehead,” according to William J. Binder, assistant clinical professor at UCLA Medical Center.

This issue is not new. Marcia Cross, one of the beautiful stars of ABC’s Desperate Housewives, has admitted to using Botox since the ’90s. According to Allure, some leading dermatologists often start their patients on Botox at age 25 as well. On the one hand, when you look at the results above — and stars like Marcia Cross — it’s easy to see why. On the other hand, how early is too early?

Since there is no ‘real’ right or wrong answer, I thought it would be fun to get your comments on this one. I set up the poll below, and please feel free to write comments as well. I look forward to your responses! 🙂
