Despite all the numerous myths that are in the public consciousness, Botox is much more than just a popular cosmetic treatment applied in order to achieve a youngish, refreshed look and reduce wrinkles. The twenty-year history of Botox in the cosmetics industry have allowed experts to discover several further benefits, for instance being an efficient cure for migraine among others.

When migraine kicks in, painkillers are far from enough and suffering is so excruciating that even existence is painful. In this case, the most one can wish for is a dark room and the hope of falling asleep as soon as possible.

Jenna Mullins, editor of E! News had suffered from migraine since her early 20s. She tried almost all the possible treatments to heal this chronic health problem, starting from exercising through pills, diet change, medical marijuana, natural remedies, physical therapy, to massages which all did nothing. Then, one of the many specialists who she met suggested her to try Botox treatment, that changed her life forever.

She said:“At this point, I was willing to try anything. If someone told me that wearing a toaster on my head was thought to help migraines, I’d be off to Target to buy the latest model.

So after some research using Doctor Internet (everyone’s favorite doctor!), I made an appointment with a pain management specialist. When he saw my file and realized I had, indeed, tried everything, he told me I was the perfect candidate for the Botox treatment.”

This is how she first went to a Botox treatment which took her about five, quite unpleasant and painful minutes. She got 31 injections in total, including the areas of forehead, head, neck, back and shoulders. Though most of the times Botox is a painless procedure, sensitivity and pain threshold is different for all patients. Despite of that, the treatment is absolutely safe and risk free.

“Five minutes of pain and some neck soreness, to me, is worth it for what might be a permanent solution to my migraines.”

She did not experience any aesthetic changes or inability to express emotions at all. The most painful area for her was the side of her neck, and she felt little stinging sensations while having the Botox injected, which is absolutely normal.

Jenna was excited to experience if there are results, and in a two weeks’ period after the Botox treatment, she had migraine only one time which was a great result. Although, at that time she only had one session, further procedures could completely reduce the number of migraines.

Reading through Jenna’s story, Botox is henceforth suitable not only for those who require to attain a revitalized look, but to efficiently heal chronic migraines too.
