Hi,
I can't believe you have suffered from migraines since such a young age! Ouch!!! I am so sorry to hear that, but I am also really glad to hear that you will give it a try. My mother-in-law has terrible migraines and won't even hear it about botox. I don't get it! She just hears that you know botox is poison, blah blah blah. I have told her about a million times that your kidneys actually flush that out of your system in 24 hours, and you are not affected by it since the levels are so low. Well enough of that, the botox injections don't hurt they are more like a pinch. The nice part is that the doctor gives me a tiny cold pack to place on each area for a minute before injecting, and really the forehead is the only place that pinches. I was super nervous the first time I received injections and then couldn't believe how painless they really were. So nothing to worry about there, your migraines hurt a whole lot worse trust me! Do wait a full two weeks for results, but I usually notice a big difference a week afterwards. Also make sure that you go to a doctor that is experienced in giving these injections. Just like any other type of sugical procedure that exists, if you go to someone that does not know what they are doing you will not like the results. I have heard of the stories with drooping eyes from receiving too many injections. The doctor I go to actually trains other doctors on this. So don't skimp on $$$! You will also love the disappearance of any lines! You see those start to go in about three to four weeks for the first time ever receiving these injections. I would also recommend taking note of which parts of your face, neck, or head you feel your headaches and migraines starting. That way your doctor will know exactly which muscles to target with the injections. Good luck to you!
