Botox works by paralyzing the muscle (e.g. the glabellar muscles). Eventually the muscle starts working again, necessitating repeated injections. I've read that the frequency of botox decreases over time but is there a point where you don't need it anymore, provided you've changed habits (not frowning for the mouth, not furrowing for the brows, etc.) and you'll be back to the point of someone who didn't have those lines in the first place?
