🧠 Most people assume that Botulinum Toxin is only used to smooth out wrinkles. But long before it was approved for aesthetic purposes it was used as an effective treatment for migraines.
🧠Migraines affect approximately 10% of people around the world and are about three times more common in women than men. Chronic migraines can greatly impact quality of life due to the pain, debility and other symptoms they cause.
🧠Botulinum Toxin works by reducing muscle contractions and stopping neurotransmitters from sending pain signals to your brain.
🧠The effect is temporary, and patients will need to receive ongoing treatment. Most patients will need to repeat the treatment 3-4 times a year.
🧠The FDA has approved the use of Botulinum Toxin as a safe treatment for migraines since 2010 and may only be administered by a licensed medical doctor in South Africa.
