Anti-Aging with Botox

A common fear is that Botox does not benefit the skin and may in fact weaken it over time. The truth is that Botox helps to give long-term unwrinkled skin. A 10 year study was done on a set of twins. One had Botox regularly for the 10 years whilst the other did not. At the end of this time they had a 1 year wash out period with no Botox and their skins were assessed. The twin who had had regular Botox had much smoother skin than her sister. The analogy is that if you were to hang a shirt neatly in a cupboard for 10 years and kick another around the room for 10 years, the one that had hung up would be much better preserved at the end of that time.
