Botox injections could impair the ability to recognise others’ feelings, research suggests.
In a study that involved looking at happy and sad faces, the participants who’d had the anti-ageing injections had altered brain activity in areas related to emotion.
In the study, scientists at the University of California and researchers from Botox-makers AbbVie performed brain scans on ten women before Botox injections in the forehead and again two to three weeks later. During the scans, participants had to attempt to recognise anger and happiness on photographs of faces.
Results revealed that after the Botox there was altered activity in brain areas involved with emotional processing, such as the amygdala and fusiform gyrus.
Experts say the findings of the study show that the inability to smile or frown, which can be a result of Botox, also effects how individuals read other faces.
Speaking to New Scientist magazine, Dr Fernando Marmolejo-Ramos, researcher in human cognition at the University of South Australia, explained that mimicking expressions helps us to recognise them – our facial muscles unconsciously copy the other person’s frown or smile before sending signals to the areas of the brain that interpret the emotions. As Botox restricts this movement, this is disrupted.
‘You might not be able to experience someone else’s emotions as intensely or vividly as you would like to,’ he added.
Tijon Esho, who offers the jabs at The Esho Clinic, said: ‘There’s no doubt Botox manipulates emotional communication. Some people want to make their face less expressive for work – they think it makes seniors take them more seriously.
‘We relate to others based on what we see in ourselves. If you can’t see or feel yourself frown or smile, it makes perfect sense that you’ll struggle to see it in others.’

Getting botox results in difficulty in recognizing emotions for who?
Us, looking at the botoxxed person or them looking at us?
Us...says we mimick facial movements...botoxxed don’t have the emotion in many of their movements...messes up brain messaging
I’m shocked I tell ya, shocked
How the botoxed person sees others.
Apparently we understand the emotions of others by mimicking their expressions. If we can’t mimic their expression, we have trouble recognizing what the other person is feeling.
I wonder if blind people have a similar problem because they can’t see the faces of others.
And wtr to masks, I was very upset about how children would not see the expressions on the faces of others. I feel like that would make the world a fearsome place...
Botoxed looking at others. Because we micromimic others facial expressions to interpret. The lousiest psyc I knew was a botoxed one. Hmmmm
This is poor research, and the results of such a small sample aren’t worth discussing.
No need for expensive research.
All one has to do is take a good, hard look at the vile, demonic Botoxian to see all of that.
is this maybe why Pelosi doesn’t realize how much she disgusts us?
Just a posted notice to remind us all.
Dear FRiends, our 1st qtr FReepathon is running behind. It looks like we’re not going to hit our target, but with your help, maybe we can at least get it over 90%. 3/25/2023, 11:36:11 AM · by Jim Robinson
Nancy Pelosi
I’d show you my shocked face but....
If you want to tell me that an injection does not enter the circulatory system then across the blood brain barrier I’ve got a series of videos on which soccer players are dropping dead to show you
Washington DC hardest hit.
Nazi pelosi is the first person who comes to mind, along with Hitlery Clinton.
Yes. I’ve seen evidence of “Botox brain” from both celebrities and politicians. For quick examples, look at Madonna and Pelosi. Or not. Come to think of it, don’t look at Madonna and Pelosi, especially if you have just finished dinner. However, you have seen them before, so you know what I mean.
Baring her fangs before the bite.
