Poker Players Choosing “Pokertox”to Improve Their Poker Face
Botox, one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in history, is constantly being used for new and innovative purposes. This minimally invasive and highly effective injectable has been used to treat facial wrinkles, migraine pain, joint pain and various other treatments. But it is now being put to a new use by a New York doctor looking to help poker players. “Pokertox” is his program of dermal fillers and Botox that are designed to personally eliminate and mask any poker tells, giving patients the perfect poker face.
The Botox Cosmetic Jackpot
What makes Botox the world’s most popular cosmetic procedure is its relative affordability and proven results. So routinely successful that it has become the image of plastic surgery procedures, Botox may be able to provide a real advantage for serious Card players. According to Dr. Jack Brady, who was interviewed in a recent Huffington Post article, “Some people might get a card they like or don’t like and raise their eyebrows. If that’s the common reaction, we can put Botox in certain areas to minimize them.”
In addition to the known facial areas poker players struggle with, the procedure may also be useful in giving the face a general treatment, improving the overall impenetrability of the countenance. This makes players harder to read in addition to looking more youthful, and thus more competitive.
Versatile Botox Cosmetic Treatments for a Competitive Edge
In addition to the usage of Botox to treat known tells, Dr.Brady believes he can use it to create misleading or ‘false’ tells. “We can also put Botox in areas to make it look like the player has a ‘tell’ they really don’t have,” he said. This may give a patient an unpredictable edge in the high-stakes world of poker.
For serious poker-playing patients interested in this process, the low cost of Botox injections could easily be earned in one well-played poker hand. And all patients receive the benefit of a more youthful facial appearance as well, making this an interesting option for even amateur poker players concerned with their own facial aging.
