Behold BOTOX®, everybody’s favorite neurotoxin. Who knew that a little botulism in all the right places could give your appearance such a boost? BOTOX® works to temporarily paralyze the facial muscles that are responsible for creating dynamic wrinkles, helping you to achieve a smoother, more rejuvenated look. But did you know that BOTOX® can make you happy?
BOTOX® Can Brighten Your Mood
This much we know: when you look good, you feel good. And because BOTOX® has the power to improve your appearance,* it’s only logical that an uptick in mood could be a pleasant side effect of your BOTOX® injection. BOTOX® typically takes 5 to 7 days before the full results take shape, at which point you may not be able to stop admiringly gazing in the mirror at your reflection.
The results from BOTOX® typically last between 3 to 4 months.
But There’s More to It
Some scientists believe that there’s a deeper mechanism at play that links BOTOX® with happiness. When BOTOX® is used to minimize frown lines, researchers have observed that people feel happier after BOTOX® treatment. The hypothesis is that BOTOX® decreases the face’s ability to frown, which in turn reduces the emotions that typically cause someone to frown.
Come on Get Happy
Whether or not you buy the science, you can’t argue with the stats: BOTOX® continues to be the number one nonsurgical cosmetic treatment in the country, so it must be doing something right. A whole lotta something. If you’re ready to let BOTOX® take you to your happy place, just make sure you get a treatment from a licensed, experienced injector.
