When you picture a Botox patient, you may picture a middle-aged woman who is keen on eliminating the wrinkles around her eyes and mouth. Or you may think of a man who is less than pleased with the deep lines in his brow. One person you probably don't picture is a hotshot poker player, but is "pokertox" the next big trend in this cosmetic medicine?
"Very few people can maintain a real poker face," the doctor told the news source. "They have some 'tells,' some expression that gives away that they have a good hand or a bad hand."
When patients come to see the doctor for their "pokertox" injections, he reviews what sort of "tells" they are worried about. For instance, if a player says that he raises his eyebrows when he receives a good card, the doctor many say that Botox injections in the brow are best.
According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, neuromuscular toxins like Botox do weaken or paralyze muscles in the face, but this is to stop them from creating wrinkles, not to block facial expressions. Most Botox patients will find that their ability to convey emotions through their face is largely unaffected by the procedure.

This is thought-provoking article. A Botox for a poker face? I don’t think anyone would want a stiff face as if they play poker. Rather than go for an unsmiling face it would be better to go for surgery for wrinkle elimination and show the world your expression. I have read from http://www.beautylogic.com.au/ more tips about different anti-wrinkle treatments.
