I attended an interesting talk recently, it
was delivered by a renowned plastic surgeon, Dr Steven H. Dayan from
Chicago. Dr Dayan shared his experience
and research on whether we can uncouple the cerebral circuits that process
negative emotions and treat mood aesthetically.
Botulinum toxin can improve an individual’s
self-esteem and quality of life by improving physical appearance, could it have
extra benefit in playing a role as an “antidepressant”?
My immediate response to this question was
“Wow, why I have never thought of it? If
it really does, BOTOX will not only enhance outlook, it will also elevate mood
and make patient truly happy inside out.”
Women who wear makeup reported that they
feel 65% more attractive and feel 47% more confident. Why it is so? When we
look good, we will feel good and we will like the way we look in a mirror or
selfie. Botulinum toxin will help to
minimize the signs of aging, wrinkles around forehead, crow’s feet and
glabella. When we look in a mirror every morning and notice we getting younger,
looking better, definitely we will start our day with a happy mood and positive
energy.
Frowning will emit negative energy; give
impression of angriness, sadness and disappointment. We know that emotion can
be contagious, we mimic the expression and then our own body kinaesthesia and
sensation forges the emotion. When we mix with people with happy mood, we will
mimic their smiles and other positive facial expression subconsciously, which
will make us happy as well.
In conclusion, by reducing frowning and smile more often, this type of facial expression will
response in a way that influences mood favorably. It
would not only make the person receive botulinum toxin injection feel happy,
the positive mood will be transmitted to his or her family members and
colleagues. Eventually he or she will have harmony and happy life in work and
family.
Positive expressions can improve quality of
life. Interactions with women with positive expressions were predicted to be
more rewarding. What is our mission in Anna Hoo Clinic? It is so much deeper
and more meaningful than just making people beautiful.
