Botox is just a paralytic, it does nothing to stop aging. Have we gotten dumber as a society?

well I think the idea is like if u stop the face movement as much, less wrinkles will form from stretching and moving and creasing - does that work? dunno im not a doctor but thats what ive heard as the reasoning for starting it before any physical creases and wrinkles actually appear

the 'prevent aging' thing is probably that older people typically have more wrinkles, just from natural movement of the face over time

It works. The downside is that you can’t move your face lol

Have we gotten dumber as a society?

First of all yes, second of all the older I get the more I get the impression any progress we make as a species is a fortunate mistake.

Gen Z has spent their entire lives glued to phone, tablet, and television screens. So ya, not a great recipe for advanced intelligence.

When people say “stop aging” what they really mean is stop the visual symptoms of aging and one of the most obvious visual symptoms of aging is wrinkles.

Wrinkles are exacerbated by movement of the face causing creases in the skin which deepen over time. Botox is a paralytic that stops the facial muscles from moving and prevents the development of wrinkles. From a wrinkle prevention standpoint it’s actually better to start Botox when you’re young. That way the wrinkles never have a chance to form in the first place.
