Abstract in brief

  • Botulinum toxin A (BTXA) treatment for frown lines may help improve mood by reducing negative facial feedback, making it harder to maintain negative emotions.
  • A study comparing BTXA patients to those with other cosmetic treatments found that BTXA patients experienced significantly less negative mood, supporting the idea that frowning influences happiness.
  • The findings suggest that treatments preventing frowning can be linked to a decrease in negative emotions, highlighting a psychological connection between facial expressions and mood.]
