Migraine headaches can affect normal life

Migraines are a kind of headache, severe in nature that often disrupts the daily life of the sufferer. If you have been suffering with migraine, you might very well know how the attacks hamper your routine and progress. Often accompanied by vomiting, migraines can lead to irritation, poor performance at work and losing opportunities due to lack of concentration. Some severe cases also lead to hospital admission and regular medication. But wait! There's good news! Migraine patients can now heave a sigh of relief since it is discovered that Botox can be used effectively to treat the condition.

Botox is FDA approved for treating migraine

Botox, the Botulinum toxin is now approved by the FDA for the treatment of migraine headaches. The neurotoxin has been in use for over 2 decades and can be prescribed for migraine patients when other medications fail to help.

How does Botox work?

The working of Botox is complex. It disrupts the signal transmission by the nerve cells to the muscles, thus reducing the pain. It inhibits muscle contractility by blocking the release of acetylcholine from the nerve cells. The effect can be observed after 4-6 days and stays for over 3 months. However the neuromuscular blockade can always be reversed, even after repeated Botox injections into the muscles. The mechanism is straight; Botox does a muscle fiber paralysis to reduce the pain of chronic migraine headaches. You will feel relaxed due to reduced throbbing and frequency of attacks.

Treatment

For long Botox has been in use for smoothing wrinkles on the face, as an anti-aging treatment. In the recent times, after the FDA approval, it has become popular for migraine headache treatment.

The treatment follows a strict procedure and can be provided by registered practitioners. It involves careful administration of over 30 injections to specific muscle groups in the temple, forehead and back of the neck; not just onto the site of pain. If you are suffering very few attacks or the intensity is not severe, doctors do not suggest Botox treatment that many patients find uncomfortable. However even though the process is uneasy, the aftereffects provide great relief. There are no major side effects as well; so migraine patients are increasingly opting for this process.

Botox: Is it for you?

Only if the pain is unbearable and the attacks have been disrupting your daily life are you recommended this treatment.

Botox treatment is for you if:

  • You suffer migraine attacks for over 15 days/month.
  • You had been through hard times with preventive medication such as Topiramate, Beta blockers, Nortriptyline etc.

Instead of taking preventives every now and then, Botox treatment once in 3 months might be a better option.

Success Rate

Each individual is different; each treatment acts differently and provides varied results with different bodies. This is true even for Botox treatment however according to studies, Botox is said to have greatly reduced migraine symptoms in over 70% patients and completely cured the problem for several others. So without doubt, Botox is effective for migraine headaches.

To know more, get in touch with the headache experts at the earliest. Take an appointment and discuss your issue in detail. If you are not able to find relief with other medicines, Botox can always be considered. It is absolutely safe as well.

Why do you need to suffer in silence when there is a proven treatment for your very common problem? Opt for Botox treatment and lead your life the way you want to. Enjoy your life to the fullest!

Weight loss program with semaglutide, ozempic and wegovy.
By Allen Darush January 30, 2023

Ladies and gentlemen, are you tired of feeling like a beached whale on the beach? Are you done with feeling self-conscious about your weight every time you step on the scale? Well, have no fear because Wegovy (Semaglutide) is here!

Wegovy is the latest and greatest weight loss sensation on the market. It's like a magic potion for weight loss, except it's not magic, it's science. Wegovy is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which means it works by activating receptors in the body that control appetite and blood sugar levels. In simpler terms, it makes you feel full and reduces the amount of sugar absorbed into the bloodstream. So, you can finally say goodbye to those pesky cravings and hello to a slimmer you!

But wait, there's more! Wegovy not only helps you lose weight but also improves other health conditions related to obesity, such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Imagine being able to fit into those jeans you haven't worn in years AND improve your health at the same time. Talk about a win-win situation!

But before you run to your nearest pharmacy, there are a few things you should know. Wegovy is a prescription medication, which means you'll need to talk to your doctor about the potential risks and benefits of the medication before starting treatment. Also, you should know that Wegovy should be used in conjunction with a diet and exercise program. It's not a magic pill, and you can't just sit on the couch eating pizza and expect to lose weight. But let's be real, who wants to give up pizza anyway?

Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room (no pun intended), weight loss can be a long and tedious process. But let's not forget that weight loss is a journey, not a destination. It's important to set realistic goals and to be patient with yourself. Losing weight too quickly can lead to health problems, and the weight may come back just as quickly as it was lost. A healthy rate of weight loss is around 1-2 pounds per week. And remember, weight loss is not just about the number on the scale, but also about improving overall health and well-being.

In conclusion, Wegovy (Semaglutide) will help you to lose weight and improve your health. So, don't wait any longer, talk to us at NewSkin Laser Center about Wegovy and start your weight loss journey today!
