I've read that getting Botox long term causes the muscles to atrophy thus having the reverse intended effect making the patient appear older. Is this accurate? Thanks

Answer: Botox and muscle atrophy The simple answer to your question is yes. Prolonged use of botox can cause some degree of muscle atrophy. It’s good to think about facial muscles as you would any type of muscle in your body. If you don’t use or work out your biceps, they tend to shrink. Facial muscles however are much thinner in comparison to other muscle sin the body so atrophy is rarely apparent.
