THE MIAMI INSTITUTE FOR AGE MANAGEMENT & INTERVENTION
Botox the Blues Away
According to a paper published in May of this year in the journal Dermatologic Surgery, Botox injections helped nine out of ten patients overcome their clinical depression. The study was conducted in Chevy Chase, Maryland by dermatologist Dr Eric Finzi.
Dr. Finzi’s patients, all women from 36 to 63 years of age, were evaluated by a clinical psychologist (his co-author Dr. Erika Wasserman) and found to be clinically depressed;
Seven of the ten had been treated with anti-depressants. Two months after the injections they were evaluated again and, in all but one, the depression had lifted. The study found that to a surprising degree, the facial muscles control emotions, based on internal monitoring and feedback, as much as the other way around.
The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet, and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Results are noticeable within 3 to 6 days.
A Mecca for the well informed seeking the highest standards and results in next generation surgical, aesthetics and wellness treatments, protocols and care, the MIAMI Institute for Age Management and Intervention offers impeccable services and procedures including Botox treatments within the safest and most discreet of environments.
