Botox and Xeomin: They do more than just erase frown lines and crow’s feet.

Botox and Xeomin have anti-depressant effects.

Botox and Xeomin can MAKE you happy. Or at least, getting injected with Botox and Xeomin can cause you to feel less depressed. Erasing wrinkles and frowns and furrowed brows all while making you smile? Sounds too good to be true. But it’s not. 

Botox and Xeomin are neuromodulators, which means they block the brain’s ability to receive a specific signal that sends a message to flex the muscles - facial muscles are no exception. 

Strong facial muscles flex every day whenever we talk, laugh, frown, or react to the emotional stimulus around us. Facial muscles flexing day in and day out for forty years or more causes the skin to fold and crease and cause age related wrinkles. 

Crow’s feet and laugh lines are common places we first start to notice age related wrinkles on the face. Laugh lines and crow’s feet are indicative of a life well lived, but wrinkles related to aging can be distressing, and depressing. Researchers are discovering that Botox and Xeomin are implicated in both reducing depressive symptoms and smoothing wrinkles - all at the same time. 

Several recent studies show how injecting Botox and Xeomin into areas where the face is wrinkled blocks the brain’s ability to make your frown muscles flex, and also causes your brain to think it’s happy. 

Clients using Botox and Xeomin aren’t just less depressed because they’re looking more youthful, the studies suggest these neuromodulators are also activating specific neurotransmitters that help reduce the symptoms of depression. 

There may also be other reasons these neuromodulators help depression generally, and the research is showing surprising results - clients receiving Botox and Xeomin injections feel immediate relief from their depressive symptoms. The findings discovered by researchers were “significant.” 

Another reason to smile.
