Marietta Botox doctors

Botox does a lot of good things.  Depression is a serious problem that is not treated with Botox.

Any good feeling you get from Botox is going to be temporary.

Botox is wonderful in the treatment of migraine headaches that are triggered by stress and muscle contracture. My wife is the poster child for this--she had horrible migraines, was on daily beta-blockers, rescue medications and would require a day spent in a dark room for a headache. So, we tried botox and within about 2 weeks her headaches seemed much less frequent, she came off her daily headache med, she no longer needs rescue meds. She hasn't taken a day off work in years due to a headache. And her forehead looks fabulous. We basically took away one of the triggers for her migraines. Now, does she still get headaches, yes...sinus most frequently, and those go away with Advil. She usually can tell when her botox is wearing off because just before her muscles are moving visably she'll get a nasty headache--still treatable, but present none the less.

It is not a cure all, but for her and for many of my patients, any decrease in severity or number is a blessing and well worth it. And it is also not a permanent fix. You do have to be treated every 3 months or so. For the most part, insurance will not pay for botox administered by a plastic surgeon but neurologists do treat  headaches with botox.

Good luck!

Generally the lines you see absent of motion are improved with Botox, but not completely resolved. It will definetly keep surrounding lines from getting worse. I have to laugh at the physician who used the same example that I use daily about wrinkles in smoothed out paper--they are improved, but always present. Botox is a fantastic product, I have personally used it for years and strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to appear fresher and less angry. (and we all want that!!)
