"\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n\n\nGood news for fans of waxy expressionlessness: The FDA has finally approved the use of Botox, the popular cosmetic injectible, in what they call \"lateral canthal lines\" (we call them \"crow's feet,\" and also sometimes \"'oh God, my youth is slipping away from me, where did the years go' lines\"). It's now the only FDA approved treatment for lateral canthal lines, which is pharmaceutical company Allergan's way of reminding you that you have the option to chuck that eye cream you always forget to use and shoot some botulinum toxin into your face instead.\u00A0Botox works by keeping muscles from tightening; it was approved in 2002 for the use of glabellar lines (better known as frown lines), and also has been used for everything from migraine headaches to excessive sweating, though it remains best known for its cosmetic use; it's widely regarded as a miracle drug by those who have had their cragginess successfully remedied by injections. But there are also risks associated \u2014 pain, expense, and decreased efficacy over time. Botox use has been rising among people in their twenties, while \"teentox\" has skyrocketed an astonishing 800% in the last year.\u00A0No doubt it's a coup for aging people who are self-conscious about their crow's feet. Still, anyone who's down to have needles put that close to their eyeballs should probably just go out and become war heroes. That is\u00A0brave.Photo via\u00A0Digital VisionFollow Sam on\u00A0Twitter."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
