When Botox was first discovered, it was revered as the next major advancement in cosmetic procedures. While Botox has definetly lived up to its reputation, it has recently been discovered that Botox can have another use in the medical community.

Cincinnati, OH, March 13, 2008 – Migraines are physically debilitating headaches suffered by millions of people around the world. There are few treatments for migraines that can provide enough relief for people to be able to continue with their day. Fortunately, it was recently discovered that Botox serves another purpose besides treating wrinkles: it helps relieve migraines.

Botox works at treating migraines in the same manner that it works to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It prevents the nerve cells from releasing a substance called acetylcholine. This substance is what signals both muscles and blood vessels to contract. By blocking this neurotransmitter, muscles will not be able to contract, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and blood vessels will not be able to constrict, decreasing the effects of migraines.

Many patients even prefer using Botox to treat their forehead migraines because the treatments are less expensive than traditional migraine medication. In addition to this, patients will usually be able to feel the positive effects of a Botox treatment in a matter of minutes, instead of hours as with traditional treatments.
