Anorexia and Botox - does Anorexia cause Botox to wear off faster, or is my eating disorder making me age faster somehow?

Asked By:VividlyGeneric in Highlands Ranch, CO

This may sound stupid - I know I’m not doing my body/skin any favors with smoking and my ED - but, I am trying to prevent aging as much as possible during and despite the above - I get Botox EVERY month..my PA said once I really chew through Botox quickly- I get 30-50 units in forehead/eyes/frown, & a few in upper lip lines. Am I getting the wrong product, and/or is my continued weight loss/nutrition deficits causing this? What can I do to be proactive with aging/prevention of it?
