“Generally, we assume that our facial expressions reflect rather than direct our emotions of the moment. Yet much evidence suggests that our facial expressions are not secondary to, but rather a central driving force of, our emotions”; writes Dr. Finzi.
Our fascination in the correlation between human emotions and expressions dates back to the musings of philosopher René Descartes and the research of Charles Darwin. Dr. Finzi too understands the intricacies of the face as well as the manifold uses and benefits of Botox.
Through different pathways, the brain is able to track even the smallest changes in our muscle health and body positioning. If this is the case, Dr. Finzi argues that the brain also monitors our emotional state when facial muscles are activated through the same pathways.
