Botox Can Help Decrease Depression Levels

Studies have shown that botox treatment can actually decrease depression levels. How? Botox tightens up muscles in your face, and naturally, that decreases the ability of some facial muscles to frown easily. Thus, because you can’t frown easily your face will naturally be in a neutral to “happy” state just as if you were smiling. And studies have proven that when you smile more, your depression levels decrease. Botox can help you smile more naturally.

 

What You Need to Know About Botox

The job market is competitive and fast paced. You need to remain at the head of the pack in your field, and many times that includes needing to “look the part.” These days, it is important to keep your appearance as clean and youthful as possible. In many industries, your look is as important as your knowledge. From consultants to doctors, the way you look helps you maintain a good rapport with patients and gives you self-confidence. Fact is, no one wants to appear as if they have passed their prime or are getting tired. Treatments like cosmetic dentistry and botox allow you to keep looking on the outside the way that you feel on the inside. EZ Dental Care now offers botox treatments to complement their other cutting edge cosmetic procedures.

What is Botox?

Botox is the shortened name for a drug prepared from botulin. When administered by a professional, botox temporarily paralyzes facial muscles. This stops involuntary twitching due to nerves or other spasms. Due to the nature of the drug, botox should only be administered by professionals who have experience and medical knowledge to ensure patient safety. When used cosmetically, it is a temporary procedure in which the drug is injected into frown or smile lines into the face to give a more full, youthful appearance. The results are very fast with moderate to severe lines seeing improvement in as little as four days. The procedure can last up to four months, depending on the severity of the lines being treated and the individual patient. The procedure is also quick, lasting 15 to 20 minutes, at most. Because the procedure is part of a good cosmetic smile, dentist in EZ Dental Care is now offers it while you are sitting through other procedures such as veneers or whitening. No need to go to another location and pay another fee.

Is Botox Safe?

Every procedure has risks. Botox is no exception. A small number of patients report difficulty swallowing, speaking, or breathing up to a week after the procedure. The nature of the chemical complex in botox requires that you keep yourself up to date with check-ins from a professional. Keep an eye on yourself and make note if you begin to have trouble swallowing, shortness of breath, or speech problems. If this is the case, make sure that you immediately seek medical attention. If you have breathing problems or already experience muscle weakness in the areas that you wish to have injected, then you should consult your doctor as botox could exasperate your symptoms. Make sure to mention to Doctor that you are interested in Botox during your free consultation.

What Benefits are there to Botox?

The fact of the matter is that the more alert and put together you appear, the more alert and put together you will be perceived. Perception, as they say, is 90% of reality. Competitive job markets mean that you can’t rely on just your experience when there may be people around you who have the same level of expertise. By making sure that you look your best, you will give your potential customers and clients more confidence in your abilities. This is extremely important in fields in which younger competition can nip at your heels, like sales jobs and real estate. Every little edge can count. In the same way that buying a new suit can make you feel more confident, cosmetic procedures can give you the same moral boost. When you look your best on the outside, you are more likely to feel your best on the inside.

Looking your best is part of being your best. Hall of Fame NFL player Deion Sanders once said, “If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good.
