When you think about Botox, the first thing that comes to mind are wrinkles. This treatment is best known for decreasing wrinkles and creating smoother skin. Botox does erase fine lines and ease wrinkles, but that’s not all. Botox has benefits that go beyond the skin. It’s an effective treatment to reduce migraine pain, treat muscle spasms, and more. It can also improve your overall wellbeing and help you relax.
## Botox Can Change your Mood
Botox can relax facial muscles, smoothing away frown lines and the furrow between your brows. Botox injections contain a small dose of botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes target muscles. Even when your brain sends a signal to your forehead to frown, the muscles won’t fully respond. Over time, you can actually train your facial muscles to stay more relaxed.

After a Botox treatment you’ll have fewer wrinkles, but that’s not all. When your brows don’t scrunch together in a frown, it can make you feel more relaxed. The facial feedback loop sends a message back to your brain that your face is relaxed. Releasing the tension from your forehead can make you feel more serene. In fact, studies show that Botox can reduce some symptoms of depression when treatments target forehead and eyebrow muscles.

You can test out this facial feedback loop for yourself. Next time you notice that you’re frowning and your brows are drawn together, make yourself smile and relax your eyebrows. You can feel a change in mood when your face is relaxed. 
## Botox Can Improve Your Relationships
Does your face at rest look bored, upset, or angry? As part of the aging process, the corners of your mouth might slowly start to draw downwards. This can give you face an angry expression even when you’re feeling calm or happy. Botox can relax the muscles drawing your mouth downwards, helping lift the corners of your mouth without invasive surgery.

Botox can smooth away the deep wrinkles between your brows and turn up the corners of your mouth, making you look more approachable and friendly. Coworkers, friends, and family may think you’re more open, or in a better mood, and relate to your differently. 
## Botox Won’t Freeze Your Face
Are you worried that Botox will make it hard to express joy, surprise, and other emotions? Botox won’t freeze your face. You’ll still be able to make every facial expression and share moments of joy with your loved ones. Botox only affects targeted muscles, meaning all your other facial muscles will move normally.

With Botox, sometimes less is more. Targeting a small area with the perfect dose can smooth away wrinkles and change your expression slightly, without making your face look stiff. A skilled injector knows exactly where to inject Botox and can suggest the right dose to achieve natural results.
