Study shows Botox can stop working after repeated use

Think you’re having a down day? What if the botulism you inject in your face stops working?

Studies are now showing that some people who get Botox injections for a long time, over 10 years, may see a decrease in the drug’s effectiveness to freeze the face. The drug is essentially a neurotoxin that “freezes” the muscles of the face reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and preventing new ones from forming. It usually lasts a few months, but over time the effects may be lessened and not last as long.

She now joins the relatively short list of stars who’ve publicly discussed Botox use.

Not only can folks with botox show less feeling in their faces, it turns out that they actually feel less emotion because they can’t show it.
