At Glow Medspa Savannah, we’re here to help you look and feel your best at every stage of life. One of the most common questions we receive about neuromodulators/”tox” like Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau is, “When should I start?” The answer depends on your unique skin, goals, and lifestyle, but preventative treatments have become a popular choice for maintaining a youthful appearance before fine lines settle in.
Here’s everything you need to know about when and why to consider preventative “tox.”
What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators, also known as “tox”, including Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau, are FDA-approved treatments that temporarily relax specific facial muscles. This helps prevent and soften the appearance of wrinkles caused by repetitive expressions like frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows.
Preventative “tox” treatments use small amounts of these products to relax these muscles before dynamic wrinkles (those that appear with movement) turn into static wrinkles (those visible even when your face is at rest).
Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau: What’s the Difference?
While all three products work similarly to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, there are slight differences:
- Botox: The original neuromodulator and the most well-known option, Botox offers consistent and effective results for smoothing fine lines.
- Dysport: Known for spreading slightly more than Botox, Dysport can be ideal for larger treatment areas, like the forehead. Results often appear a bit faster than with Botox.
- Jeuveau: Sometimes referred to as “Newtox,” Jeuveau is a newer option offering results comparable to Botox, often at a slightly lower price point. For a limited time only, book your appointment with our $11/unit Jeuveau special in mind.

During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the right product for your needs and goals.
When Is the Right Time to Start Preventative Tox?
The “right time” varies from person to person, but here are some general guidelines:
- In Your Mid-to-Late 20s
This is when you might notice faint lines forming during facial expressions, like crow’s feet or forehead lines. Starting neuromodulators at this stage can proactively delay the development of deeper wrinkles. - In Your Early 30s
If you didn’t start in your 20s, early 30s is still an excellent time. This is when fine lines may start to linger even when your face is relaxed, signaling that your skin is losing elasticity. - In Your 40s or beyond
If you’re in your 40s or beyond and haven’t tried neuromodulators yet, don’t worry—they’re not just for prevention. Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau can soften existing wrinkles and help you achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance at any age.
Benefits of Starting Early
Preventative “tox” treatments offer a range of benefits:
- Slows the Aging Process: By addressing wrinkles early, you can avoid deeper lines and more invasive treatments later.
- Minimal Downtime: Neuromodulator treatments are quick, non-invasive, and fit easily into your busy schedule.
- Customizable Options: With products like Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau, we can tailor treatments to your unique skin and desired results.
