Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Botox treatment into the upper one third of the face (glabella, forehead lines and/or lateral canthal lines) to analyze mood and self -appearance satisfaction in a Post Covid period on non-naïve Botox patients

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A historical period that will never happen again provides us a unique opportunity to evaluate the impact Botox Cosmetic has on the mood and self appearance satisfaction after a societal crisis such as the COVID19 pandemic.

Many regular users of Botox Cosmetic will have exceeded their normal treatment interval and their glabellar wrinkles will likely have returned to baseline. Many will want to get treated as soon as stay at home orders are rescinded and clinics are permitted to open back up. It would not be surprising that these patients also are experiencing a decrease in their mood secondary to weeks of social isolating and distancing. Many can expect to have a rebound elevation in their happiness and overall mood following the modified return to normalcy.

Botox Cosmetic has been studied as a mood elevating drug by reducing the animation of a glabellar furrow via the facial feedback mechanism hypothesis. This has been shown in patients who are not diagnosed with a major depressive disorder. Following a natural disaster, does the administration of Botox Cosmetic, in patients who are frequent Botox Cosmetic users, synergistically amplify the elevation in mood beyond what would be achieved had they not had their Botox Cosmetic treatment. Perhaps regular Botox Cosmetic users have a secondary gain desire for Botox Cosmetic beyond wrinkle reduction but also as a mood elevator.
