Gah, needle to the face! From Beauty Resurgence. |
David R. Neal of the University of California, one of the authors of the study, says, "If you have a poker face because your facial muscles are paralyzed, you can’t read others emotions as well." This happens because our faces subtly mimic the emotions we see in others, giving the brain multiple ways to process emotional information. But since Botox paralyzes facial muscles, that avenue is closed to users.
Dr. Neal points out, however, that this deadening effect is subtle, and probably only affects heavy Botoxers. "People are not becoming automatons," he says. "It’s just a matter of weighing whether the aesthetic and self-esteem boost outweighs any subtle impact on your ability to perceive others emotions."
Wow, would never think something liek this was possible!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the world of cosmetic surgery! (Although Botox injections aren't quite "surgery," their kind of in the same category.)
ReplyDeleteRight Julia.....who would have thought about this 5 years ago? This is a great thing for some, I think poker players will love this news, because thanks to it they will have the solution to keep their emotions far from facial readers.....
ReplyDeleteHey, that's a rather ingenious idea. I hadn't thought of it before, but apparently other people have: http://www.launchpoker.com/fun/poker-and-botox/ .
ReplyDeleteIs wearing a mask illegal in poker tournaments? I'm guessing it is, but plastic surgery could be a great way to beat the system!
Thanks for sharing nice information.

Botox is a popular beauty treatment, but I prefer not to touch my face. The only product that is in my cosmetic bag is always false eyelashes from MAC. In my opinion, this is the best manufacturer of cosmetics and makeup tools. I advise you go to these guys and learn more about the application of eyelashes.
