How do you personally feel about Botox? It’s not for everyone! Botox is something plenty of people use in order to prevent or get rid of wrinkles and other fine lines.
When you get Botox injections, it blocks chemical signals from your nerves that are needed for particular muscles to contract in your face and other areas.
With Botox, tons of people are able to rock more of a “frozen” facial appearance. TikToker @jkerz_ shared a video breaking down UCLA’s identical twin sister Botox study. The results are actually quite shocking.
UCLA studied preventative Botox benefits in identical twins
If you’ve never heard of preventative Botox, you’re not alone. It’s simply a type of Botox you receive before any wrinkles have formed on your face.
When you get preventive Botox, it’s supposed to save you from developing wrinkles when you’re older. UCLA studied a set of identical twins by providing one with Botox injections and letting the other one live her life naturally.
The twins were studied for 13 years, with one receiving consistent Botox injections three times a month the entire time.
In the end, the comparison of their faces says a lot. The sister who received consistent Botox injections over the years had a face that still looked incredibly youthful with no majorly visible wrinkles in sight.
The sister who didn’t receive much Botox (aside from a couple of sessions over the span of 13 years) ended up with visible wrinkles underneath her eyes, on her forehead, and around her mouth.
