Does regular toxin over time lead to muscle atrophy?
Hiya, TTG editor Georgia here. Muscles that are continuously topped up with toxin will weaken over time. This will obviously happen to us all eventually as we age anyway, but it’s worth being aware that you are, in a way, willing your facial muscles to weaken before their time. That being said, it’s not something that practitioners seem to particularly worry about, and a lot of people have wrinkle-relaxing injections for decades without showing these unwanted effects. If you wait until your muscles have recovered their full range of movement before having another treatment, this is less likely to happen.
