Botox can rejuvenate your skin, reduce wrinkles, and help you love your skin. But that’s not all. New research is showing that Botox injections can also reduce anxiety.
## What Does Botox Treat?
When you think about Botox, the first thing that comes to mind is wrinkles. The most common use for Botox is smoothing away the tell-tale signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. But Botox also has a range of medical benefits, including:
Reducing migraine pain
Preventing eye spasms
Calming muscle spasms
Decreasing excessive sweating

New research is also showing that Botox can have a big impact on your mental health, boosting your mood and decreasing anxiety. If you’re feeling stressed, you might want to consider Botox.
## How Does Botox Reduce Anxiety? 
Researchers from the University of California San Diego are exploring the effects of Botox. They recently analyzed data from 40,000 people who all received Botox. The researchers discovered that people who got Botox were less anxious and had a lower risk of anxiety. According to their recent study, anxiety dropped by up to 72% after Botox. The injection sites linked to anxiety reduction include facial muscles, neck muscles, and facial and head muscles injected to treat migraines.
## Botox Increases Your Confidence
Wondering how Botox and anxiety are related? There are a few ways that Botox can reduce anxiety. One of the most obvious ways that Botox makes people less anxious is by smoothing away fine lines and easing wrinkles. When you have more confidence in your appearance, you’ll feel less anxious in social situations and other areas of your life.
## The Facial Feedback Look
Botox can also reduce anxiety through a system called the facial feedback loop. Your brain and your body are interconnected. When you feel an emotion, it shows up on your face. So if you’re feeling stressed or anxious, you may unconsciously frown or furrow your brows. And it works both ways. If you frown, before long your mood will change too. You can try this for yourself. Spend two minutes frowning, then see how it impacts how you feel. Next, try smiling for two minutes. Do you feel happier? 

Researchers think that the facial feedback loop could be making you less anxious. When Botox is injected between your brows or at your temples, these muscles relax. Next time your brain tells you to furrow your brows, the muscles won’t respond. This sends a message back to the brain, signaling that you’re not stressed or worried. This likely calms your emotions and reduces anxiety.
