Hollywood Relieved Over New Use of Botox

According to the American Journal of Gastroenterology, Tinseltown’s Botox indulgers may have a new kick in their step thanks to a side benefit of the wrinkle-eliminating toxin.

Dr. Guiseppe Brisinda and his colleagues at University Hospital of Rome, Italy, have discovered that Botox injections relieve, of all things, constipation.

Brisinda told Reuters that “traditional approaches, for example, fiber, laxatives, enemas, biofeedback training and surgery, have shown often conflicting or even disappointing results.”

However, through use of ultrasound-guided local injections of Botox, 19 out of 24 sufferers experience constipation relief.

The Left Coast Report points out that although the facial expressions of folks in Hollywood may not be normal, at least their regularity will be.
