I am a 27 y/o man and have noticed ni the past 2 weeks im getting a wrink right in between my eye brows. I effing hate that and want to get botox for it. I feel as if im too young to be getting wrinkles and do not like it at all.

Has any other men n their 20s gotten botox and what were ur results?

Well, you have two choices as you age.

1) Embrace it. See Sean Connery, Harrison Ford etc.

2) Have plastic surgery, botox etc. See Carrot Top, Meg Ryan, Janice Dickinson

If I had to guess you are somewhat insecure about your looks and working on that will make you more attractive than a little wrinkle.

I can't imagine that at 27 you have much in the way of wrinkles to take care of. You'd be much better off staying out of the sun, religiously using sunscreen, and drinking lots of water and eating a healthy diet.

I'll admit im vein as can be, but so what. I'm a nice person, I just like looking good.

and this wrinkle, which I imagine will only get worse with age bothers me.
I dont care if im only 27, thats not th epoint, the point is correcting a flaw, regardless of age.

This sounds like something that could be delayed or even diminished with a good resurfacing treatment. I have a lot of experience in skin care and cosmetics, and although I cannot see you, I don't think botox is necessary for you just yet. I would consult with a medical spa to see what your options are. They will be able to address your needs much better than anyone here can. Also, resurfacing is something that can be done at home as long as you are using the correct products. Good luck!

You are almost 30. Go for it. I agree a chemical peel would be good to remove sun damage but it won't remove deep wrinkles. I would only do that if you have light skin that is not prone to scars. Otherwise you can get pigmentation issues and possible scars.

What do you wash your face with? Around your age is time to start using cream based cleansers instead of sudsy foaming ones. Dried out skin always looks more wrinkled than it really is.

I wouldn't bother. Botox is a lot more noticeable to others than you think because your face loses expression. It freezes ~ not a good look. And it's too expensive to maintain, anyway.

If it is just for that one line in between your eyebrows, then you should do it. I don't think you will lose your facial expression if it is done in just that small area. Botox is not permanent and will gradually disappear over time anyway so you can decide later if it is worth it to maintain.
