Botox results – Los Angeles patient before and after treatment with botulinum toxin to get rid of forehead lines*

Good Botox results are supposed to allow natural facial movement to remain.  And Botox outcomes are considered bad if they minimize facial expression.

These days more men are undergoing these injection procedures as a wrinkle treatment. But here is another reason for males to take an interest in Botox.

In the world of poker, the ability to conceal your emotions is quite valuable. So,  Dr. Jack Berdy of New York  (who practices aesthetic medicine) came up with a specialized procedure called Pokertox

 Botox Results- Gaining a Winning Edge in Poker

In the game of poker, players can unwittingly give off signals that can inform their opponent what type of hand they have.  These are known as “tells.”

Common facial tells include:

(1)    Squinting the eyes

(2)    Raising one brow

(3)    Raising both brows

(4)    Furrowing the brows

Botox can be injected to relax the muscles responsible for these cues.

Our muscles work as opposite pairs. So it is also possible to purposely relax one particular set to activate the other. Dr. Berdy says that he can create very specific Botox results that give false tells to throw the other players off.

Botox Results- What Professional Players Think 

Pokertox is a novel concept that only seems to make sense.

Josh Hale, who has played at the World Poker Tour explains. “The game has moved on from bluffs, and is more analytical these days,”…”Players might look at physical tells, but they are relying more on betting patterns and bet sizing.”

Jay Melancon,  a 10 year veteran professional also expressed his opinion about Botox results in poker games:   “Plastic surgery is expensive,” …”You’d have to play in very high-stakes games to make it worth it, and if you have a ‘tell’ that is that obvious, you shouldn’t be playing in those games.”

There are also many other tells that go beyond the face.  For example, players can also give unconscious cues with their hands.

Many people are still skeptical about the success of Pokertox. Only time will tell if this will become a major trend spreading to the West coast with Los Angeles poker players wanting to get Botox results.
