Episode notes
Personal Botox Backfire
- Anastasia tried Botox initially for TMJ, migraines, forehead and a gummy smile but most targeted areas did not improve.
- Multiple follow-ups with higher doses still failed, so she concluded she metabolizes Botox quickly and stopped relying on it.
How Botox Changes Facial Aging
- Botox works by blocking nerve signals and paralyzing muscles, which reduces movement-driven wrinkles.
- Long-term use can alter facial structure, reduce lymphatic flow, and shift how the skin ages overall.
Do Post‑Botox Lymphatic Care
- If you keep using Botox, get professional facial lymphatic drainage once muscle function returns to maintain fluid flow.
- Schedule deep facial massage after Botox wears off to restore lymphatic and muscular health.
