Why Botox Timing Matters in Your 40s

In your 40s, collagen loss accelerates, and expression lines deepen. Botox not only softens these existing lines but also helps prevent them from becoming permanent. Consistency is key for optimal results.

Botox in Your Early 40s: Maintains youthful texture and prevents further wrinkling.

Botox in Your Late 40s: Softens deeper lines and pairs well with filler for volume loss.

Most clients in their 40s schedule Botox every 3–4 months, depending on lifestyle, metabolism, and treatment goals.

How Much Botox Will I Need in My 40s?

In your 40s, your facial muscles have had more time to develop stronger movement patterns. That often means higher dosing than in your 20s or 30s for longer-lasting, smoother results.

Area Typical Units
Forehead 10–20 units
Frown lines 20–30 units
Crow’s feet 10–24 units
Lip flip 4–6 units
Masseter 30–50 units

Note: Units are tailored to your anatomy, metabolism, and aesthetic goals.

Results to Expect

Staying consistent with treatment keeps wrinkles from reforming and may extend results over time.

  • 3–5 Days: Initial softening of movement
  • 10–14 Days: Full results develop
  • 3–4 Months: Botox begins to wear off gradually

How To Maintain Your Results

  • Book touch-ups every 3–4 months
  • Follow your medical-grade skincare routine
  • Use SPF daily & stay hydrated
  • Combine with microneedling or dermal fillers

Questions About Getting Botox in Your 40s?

Is it too late to start Botox in my 40s?

Not at all. Many of our clients start in their 40s and see incredible results. We tailor treatments based on muscle strength and skin condition.

Will I need more units than I did in my 30s?

Possibly, depending on how active your muscles are and how deep the lines have become. We adjust each plan to your needs.

Can I combine Botox with filler?

Yes! Combining Botox with filler can restore both movement and volume loss for a more youthful result.

How long does Botox last in your 40s?

Most clients enjoy results for 3 to 4 months. Staying on schedule can even help results last longer over time.
