If you have heard of the treatment commonly used for anti-wrinkle injections, you’ll know it is used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on your forehead, around your eyes, and in other areas of your face.
The product commonly used starts with the letter B (we can’t mention it by name in this article) and it is also used for other purposes, including reducing muscle spasms, minimising body sweat, and even treating migraines.
And now scientists have found it may be possible that the use of this product alleviates the symptoms of depression.
A recent report, published on July 30 in Scientific Reports, presented the findings of the analysis of more than 40,000 treatment reports among 13 million postmarketing safety reports in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).
The study found that patients who had the popular anti-wrinkle treatment we are all familiar with reported less depression than people who had different treatments.
If you regularly have anti-wrinkle injections or if you are suffering from depression, you’ll definitely find this interesting. However, this doesn’t quite mean you can head to your doctor and ask for anti-wrinkle treatments instead of antidepressants (not yet anyway).
