Will Botox for Migraines Provide Cosmetics Benefit As Well As Possible Migraines Relief?
I just got my Botox for migraines yesterday by my neurologist. I know it takes a week to see full effects and I praying for less migraines. But I am a bit curious given the injection site for medicinal botox, will I see any cosmetic changes/improvements? I am young with only noticeable lines when I contract my facial muscles. I know I am being greedy hoping for less migraines and cosmetics improvements but I figured it was worth asking.

Botox for headache-and wrinkles?
Some of the areas that are injected with the usual migraine protocol will relax some forehead wrinkles but do not target all of the areas that a cosmetic injector would go after. If you have lines that you are concerned with two weeks after injection for headache, see a cosmetic injector for a "touch up"

Botox for migraines and cosmetic benefits
Seeing an improvement for both of these will depend on where the injections were done, as well as the unit dosage. I would suspect you will see some cosmetic improvements, but can't say if it would be as complete an improvement as if it were done for cosmetic purposes only.

Botox for Migraines - will it provide cosmetic benefit?
Botox injections are used to relax the muscles of facial expression. This can result in both improvement in symptoms of tension headaches and the wrinkles around the muscles injected.
