Does Botox Salt Lake City Affect Ability To Empathize With Others?

By Roxy Albright


For decades, the use of Botox Salt Lake City has been implicated for the reduction of the appearance of moderate to severe lines and wrinkles. While that may sound very enticing, one of the major drawbacks for Botox Utah users is that frequent use can lead to a "Poker Face", and additional serious health risks as well. But, recent studies have not only focused on what this toxin can do to alter appearance alone. In fact, a recent study published in the Journal of Social Psychology and Personality Science, clearly found a correlation to the frequent of injections and a diminished capacity to experience certain feelings in some users.

The Food and Dug Administration (FDA) approved the use of Clostridium Botulinum toxin type A, more commonly known as Botox Salt Lake City, for use by the general public in early 2002. Then in 2009, that same regulating agency mandated that all inserts for Botox Utah, and all other similar anti-wrinkle products, carry a warning label explaining the potential risks involved with injected toxins spreading to other parts of the body, potentially cause serious issues with swallowing and breathing. The warning label was also required to include a warning that cosmetic use "may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening."

At early as even fifty years ago, the most prominent health risks associated with consuming canned meat was the probability of contracting Clostridium Botulinum, a bacteria known to thrive when little oxygen is present. The Botulimum toxin, the most powerful toxin currently known, can cause life-threatening conditions by blocking impulses to the muscles, effectively prohibiting the ability of the respiratory muscles to move. This paralysis of the respiratory system can actually cause suffocation and even death.

Aside from the numerous complications that can arise from injecting deadly poison directly into our bodies, questions have arisen concerning the ability to empathize with others when frequently using Botox Salt Lake City. Recent psychology and social science findings seem to not only suggest that this might be the case, but actually support that frequency has a direct correlation to impairment. The basis for this broad assumption is a process known as mimicry. Mimicry, in its simplest form, is defined by emotional projections of what someone else is feeling is our own responses. For example, if you frown, I frown. Likewise, if you smile, I smile. We might not visibly smile or frown in response to someone else's emotions; however, the use of electromyographs, has allowed researchers to directly correlated the movement of muscles in the face with expressions of anger, sadness, disgust, and happiness, just to name a few.

In terms of bodily response to emotion, it is interesting to note that that the brain seems to "understand" emotions that others express. In fact, this ability to understand on a semiconscious level is the basis of identification and empathy. David Neal, a psychology professor at the University of Southern California, explains this phenomenon further when he reports, "if muscular signals from the face to the brain are dampened, you're less able to read emotions. When facial muscles are dampened, you get worse in emotional perception, and when facial muscles are amplified, you get better at emotion perception." While the use of Botox Salt Lake City may allow you to respond appropriately to other people's emotions, since the product can lessen the capacity of your muscles to contract, it is altogether possible, even plausible, that your brain receives less feedback, causing you to be less able to feel or identify with others.

While using Botox Salt Lake City for cosmetic use may greatly improve the appearance, using Botox Utah may also affect your ability to both express and feel empathy.
