Is it possible to atrophy muscles through use of Botox injections?

July 21, 2018
Asked By:HeyitsGinger in Los Angeles, CA

Ive been wanting to target my trapezius, latissimus, forearms and calves with botox injections and was wondering if injecting all at once would be too toxic? Several doctors have told me all the areas combined would be units. If I inject every 6 months over the course of a year or two will it atrophy those areas? I wanted to get my outer obliques done too. Would that potentially create too much laxity in the muscles and add additional bulging?
