The Chronic Consumer

Like most people, when I hear the word Botox, I immediately think of aging Hollywood actresses who undergo cosmetic injections of this substance in order to get rid of frown lines, wrinkles, and so-called neck bands. These procedures usually work, which is why it’s pretty easy to spot people who have had this kind of work done.

But did you know that people are also using Botox for migraines? I just read that when Botox is injected in the face, neck, and/or scalp areas, it has provided migraine relief in some patients. Plus, since there are relatively few (if any) side effects of Botox, this could prove to be a great alternative treatment method for those who have adverse reactions to traditional drugs.

Very interesting. I had no idea Botox could be used for anything other than cosmetic procedures!
