your botox has backfired

We’ve been sold the lie that not only will preventative botox stop us from getting wrinkles, but that it is safe, effective, and the key to eternal youth. But guys, I hate to break it to you - but they scammed us with that one. New evidence suggests that not only will ‘baby botox’ NOT make us look younger for longer, but that it will actually make us age FASTER. WHAT?! How can this be? In theory, since botox effectively paralyses the muscles in your face, which means they can’t form facial expressions, then that should mean that they also don’t have the ability to cause you to get wrinkles on the surface of your skin… right? Well, yes. Technically. But think about what happens to a muscle that you never move… yep. It weakens, and wastes away. Which in the case of someone who has been getting botox since their twenties (or even worse, teens!) this is not good news. Weakened and atrophied facial muscles will NOT make you look younger - they will actually cause you to look older than your actual age, as they will not have the ability to hold your facial skin where its supposed to sit, and the result of that is - a drooping, saggy face. Not really an issue in someone who doesn’t care about the effects of ageing, but kind of the opposite of what you want when you pay your hard earned money to have BOTOX injected to keep you looking younger. Sure, you may not get wrinkles, but if the alternative is prematurely causing your muscles to atrophy, and causing your face to appear older than it is… I’d rather keep the wrinkles thanks.
