We know that the main goal of Botox is to have the muscles get weaker &weaker& thus less wrinkles. So on the long run, this render muscle become weaker &maybe due to disuse, it might atrophy &loss function.

Answer: Will repeatedly injected Botox cause atrophy? Atrophy is not a long-term effect of Botox injections. Botox causes a temporary muscles weakness but as nerve endings regenerate they gain back movement.

Answer: No, that's not an issue... and botox works not merely by making the muscles less functional, but it's the related calming effect on the tissue above the muscles that is not subject to the repeated stress of pulling and flattening...when the muscles are at rest, then none of this occurs...remember the smoothing effect on the skin is not due to a change in the appearance of the muscles that lie way beneath the surface...it's the skin and other soft tissue above the muscles that demonstrate the effect of the botox actions on the muscles...
