Research recently presented at the American Academy of Dermatology’s annual meeting, and reported on Medco (3/27, Kling), shows that Botox may lighten your mood.
The findings show “botulinum toxin A, commonly known as Botox, has an antidepressive effect when injected between the eyebrows that continues beyond the cosmetic effects of the injection.”
The study followed 30 subjects with depressive symptoms, some of whom were injected with botulinum toxin A in the glabellar region, while others were treated with a placebo. The research found that the anti-depressant effect of the treatment lasted even after the anti-wrinkling effect had worn off.
Products such as Botox, Dysport and Xeomin are are very effective at preventing expression lines from worsening, and now they’ve been shown to lift your mood too!
