BOTOX ALL AROUND: MIGRAINES
Posted: May 6th, 2011 | Author: admin | Filed under: Skin Care | Comments OffOne of the reasons why I’m such a believer in Botoxis because its immense versatility is unmatched. New uses for it seem to surface at a daily rate and it’s so satisfying when patients see results from Botox that they never dreamed of obtaining in such a short visit. Following are a few examples of Botox’s scope.MIGRAINESIt’s been proven that Botox helps with the debilitating condition of migraines. The reason isn’t exactly clear, but I suspect that the muscle-relaxing effects of Botox have something to do with it. Another theory is that Botox has a positive effect on the pain transmitters of the face. A few years ago I treated a patient whom I thought was exaggerating when she said her headache immediately disappeared after having Botox. Today, however, I’m a believer in this application. Recently another patient told me that her crippling headaches had kept her home from work for two weeks and that to her, Botox was truly heaven sent. Even one of my nurses in my Miami office uses Botox for this purpose; her headaches are so severe that she often has to turn off the lights in her office and rest her head. For many, the instant relief that Botox delivers in just a shot or two – with relief lasting as long as four months – is far more desirable than taking an endless stream of pain medication. Of course, no one complains about the side benefits!*52\82\8*
