Injectables: Why Enhancing Your Features Can Boost Your Mood

You know the drill with the “look good, feel better” mantra. Getting that perfect blow-dry confirms that theory – even if it only lasts a few days. It’s that drab to-fab that is known to boost your mood and lift your spirits, and yes, although cosmetic, happiness is so good for you—ever heard of the facial feedback hypothesis? Charles Darwin first suggested that a smiling expression, for example, uses muscles that play a crucial role in how the brain evaluates mood. In other words, our facial expressions contribute to the way we feel. And these days, we can tweak them. Cleverly placed injectables can literally turn that frown upside down!

Boost Your Mood: A More Positive You (and Face)

Negative emotions have been scientifically proven to be expressed by the muscles between the eyebrows. That’s how we communicate from person to person that we’re unhappy or in a bad mood. In other words, this motion creates the emotion. But what if you’re feeling quite pleased with life but still have the signs of a frowny face? A sagging brow – which is just often ageing skin – can unintentionally make you look grumpy. A combo of factors like gravity, squinting and loss of collagen and elastin means your brow elevators aren’t as strong. And so your brow depressors take over. Ideally, you want to keep the power play between these muscles in balance.

This is where helpful injectables like neurotoxins lift the sagging brow, opening up the eye area and brightening up one of your face’s key features. Known as a chemical brow lift, this not only helps boost the way your eyes can express and communicate but also adds to that happy, healthy look.

Focus on Refining Features: Hit The Hot Spot Injectables

So, very often, we talk down our features or list the 37 things wrong with them. What if we shifted gear and complimented what we’d like to improve? In other words, find the beauty and shore it up. Do you have great lips? Keep the skin around them de-aged and vibrant. Instead of messing with your smile, look at how you can work on other issues that compliment your mouth, like marionette lines.  These mouth frowns can make an overwise shining smile look permanently sad. Essentially, ageing skin causes your mouth corners to droop, creating a frown look. Eventually, deep wrinkles (yikes) appear on either side of the mouth corner and down towards the jawline.

So when do you know it’s time to treat them with injectables? If these lines are already settling into the skin, then it’s time to smooth them out. Dermal volumisers strategically placed using the MD codes techniques means precisely targeting those lines to plump them up and fill them in. Remember that while it is amazing at making you look and feel cheerful again, this treatment is only one step in keeping your skin looking its best. If it’s time for injectables, it’s also time to think about how to happy up your skin with health-boosting collagen and elastin.

If You’re Happy And You Know It, Try These!

Keep your skin feeling like it’s Christmas every day, with small swaps that can up it’s happy quota. Switching red meat for omega-3-rich fatty fish like salmon helps boost collagen production. To get that elastin going, be vigilant with the SPF application, treat sleep like a VIP, and add a retinoid nighttime treatment product. It’s an all-around mood-elevating plan for looking incredible – and feeling it too!
