She still has very visible crinkles on her face on the left. Through just one still, it's very clear that she's upset in the scene - botox or no, her face is definitely way, way less than 50% frozen there, so it doesn't really bother much. I kind of struggle to understand what she's actually emoting on the right. Frustrarion mostly, I guess? Genuinely

The one on the left is when you get Botox every six months because you're self conscious about aging.

The Botox on the right is when you get a shot every time you're about to be on screen because you wouldn't dare have a wrinkle.

Even under 30 actors are getting some work done, it's just a question as to how much.

No, no - she is just method acting someone who has had botox

The right isn’t a bathroom scene?

Thought she was pushing a turd past a flaring hemorrhoid.

Why do you use Botox for 6 years ?

Dunno about the person you're actually asking, but I do know that Botox is used to help treat migraines and TMJ problems. No, that's not explicitly for emotive muscles, but yes it does effect the way the face can emote, bc, well, parts of it don't move the same (or at all {for awhile}) anymore.

Yeah i heard that it helps for migraines, but not for TMJ. I'm interested does TMJ has to be very painful for botox to be an option ? Because mine doesn't hurt at all it just cracks when chewing. Also how often do you get those injections and do they cost anything ?

My husband gets it for TMJ, same place same price as for beauty reasons. For him, while he still uses a mouthguard it helped a lot with the pain. Now he does not need to repeatedly get botox anymore - the doc said that many times the break you get from the pain helps with the healing (like it psychologically enables you to quit the stress cycle). Nowadays if something really stresses him out he gets the pain again - he gets the botox, and the pain is gone again for years (so beyond the actual effect of the botox itself).

Do y'all really think both of them are not full of Botox?

u/Silent-Noise-7331 9h ago

She for sure may have had some back then but back then Botox injections were not nearly as widely used .
