Botox ForRhytides of the Forehead- A Case Report

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 2

Abstract

Positive effects on mood have been observed in subjects who underwent treatment of fore head frownlines with botulinum toxin and, in an open case series, depression remitted or improved after such treatment. This study shows that treatment of the forehead region with botulinum toxin may shortly accomplish a strong and sustained alleviation of depression in patients, who did not improve sufficiently on previous medication. It supports the concept, that the facial musculature not only expresses, but also regulates mood states.
