Botox Called Can Influence Sexual Life, Really?

JAKARTA - Botox is said to affect a person's sexual life, both positively and negatively. It depends on the area where the Botox is injected and the purpose of the treatment.

As is known, botox injections work by inhibiting nerve fines to muscles. Botox can limit facial movements, which can ultimately sacrifice the ability to express themselves.

Then if the Botox is done with too high a dose and the placement is inappropriate, it can make facial expressions worse. It can also cause paralysis in facial muscles.

Botoxes especially when used at the top of the face (dami or eyebrows) tend to limit the reach of facial movement. When these non-verbal expressions disappear, it creates emotional dissonance, said the therapist and relationship counselor, Ruchi Ruuh, quoted from The Established, on Friday, July 18, 2025.

"Too many botox injections, too fast, can paralyze your facial muscles," he added.

With facial muscles that don't work well due to the Botox, a less expressive face that can make it difficult to have sex. Unimaged expressions make it difficult for your partner to guess how you feel when having sex.

"If your face becomes less expressive it will be difficult for your partner to read how you feel during sex," he said.

Sex is indeed a physical activity, but emotional that flows from facial expression is also very influential. Unexpressed emotional feelings through the face can make sex less meaningful.

"Expressing how you felt at that time, through eye contact, smile, voice, or even a little laugh is a big part of making sex feel connected and meaningful," he concluded.
