Long-term effect of Botox unclear

PEOPLE using the facial treatment Botox have been warned they risk losing more than their wrinkles.

A leading neurophysiologist has cautioned it is not yet known what the long-term effects of the “miracle” anti-wrinkle treatment are on the brain, nervous system and muscles.

Dr Peter Misra said Botox, a derivative of the deadly botulism toxin, could cause fatal muscular paralysis in its natural form and should be treated with care.
