How BOTOX® can help with stress, anger and depression
BOTOX®, or botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxin that when used in small doses, can help significantly slow signs of ageing. According to some studies, BOTOX® can also help with stress reduction, as well as the management of anger and depression.
Although we’ve been unable to control many aspects of 2020, one thing we are individually in charge of is how well we take care of ourselves, despite external stressors. Consider then that regular use of BOTOX® is an agent not only to take care of the skin but also to lower the chances of depression and negative feelings. It can be quite beneficial.
The adverse effects of stress, anger and depression on the skin are extensive. Stress is a well-known accelerator of wrinkles and fine lines. Stress stimulates cortisol in the body, and cortisol causes strain on the body’s organs and blood vessels, resulting in less cell regeneration and collagen. A lack of cell regeneration and collagen equates to rapid ageing, as the skin won’t be able to look revitalised.
Much like stress, anger also stimulates cortisol in the body. When you’re angry, you tend to tense your facial muscles, and collagen production drops, reducing the skin’s ability to heal. Depression, a chemical imbalance characterised by feelings of moderate to extreme loneliness and helplessness, is another cause of wrinkles in the skin due to continuous frowning. One thing worth noting is that your facial expression has a significant impact on your skin, as well as on your state of being. If you’re continually frowning, chances are that you frequently feel negative. Through the use of BOTOX®, you can ensure that you frown less, and this increases the chances of you feeling good over time.
People who suffer from depression get prescribed anti-depressants to manage their condition. An add-on treatment that to be used in conjunction with anti-depressants is BOTOX®. Studies show that BOTOX® can reduce depression symptoms and improve mood, although one has to go for repetitive treatments to reap the full benefits.
A testimonial from a regular Skin Renewal client who’s been getting BOTOX® injections for the past 12 years states that “After having my last BOTOX® appointment I noticed an immense change in my mood and productivity. I did a bit of research and discovered the link to a better state of mind and BOTOX® injections. I have been so productive and feeling on top of all the work I have piling up at this time of year. I have also been so much happier. It is really quite remarkable.”
