| BOTOX® Treatment For Migraines |
| One of the early surprises that came with injecting BOTOX® Cosmetic for wrinkles was improvement in some people's chronic headaches. This phenomenon has been studied, and while it is real, the mechanism is not well understood. However, small amounts of botox injected near the hairline in the temple and sometimes into the hairline at the back of the neck, eradicate in some and diminish in many chronic headaches such as migraines. The improvement lasts for three to four months. |

| FAQ'S |
Since we don't completely know how botox helps headaches, is there a chance that it's dangerous?
No. BOTOX® has been used for decades in the muscles around the eyes and it is one of the safest treatments known. Since the use of botox has been extended to more of the muscles that cause facial wrinkles, patients have noted the diminution in their headaches. Now, many patients are getting BOTOX® just for the treatment of headaches. Even with all this increased usage botox remains a very safe medication. |

| Testimonial |
| "Since seventh grade, I have experienced severe migraines. For years I had tried everything under the sun to lessen my migraines, which I would get several times a month. When I began working at TriBeCa MedSpa, I met many clients who were receiving BOTOX® to help their headaches, so I decided to try it as well. To my surprise and great relief, BOTOX® has worked better than anything else I have tried in lessening my migraines! I have been so happy with this discovery. I have even been able to drink wine for the first time in years without experiencing a migraine!" |
