As a former model (very former - I'm 47) I am so glad to see these comments about having a persistent TERRIBLE headache after Botox. Three years ago when I got the injection (for frown lines) there were precious few comments about headache! And of course there were comments made in response to my posting like "Yes, but I bet the headache didn't last and BOTOX was WORTH it!"
NO!
Being incapacitated was definitely not worth it. By now it seems there are enough people who have experienced the bad and often "swept under the rug" side effects. Some people are affected for great lengths of time. Based on some of the postings, some never go away. Mine - very severe - lasted a little over a week. My doctor, whom I LOVE, said this should not be lasting more than a few days. I had a CAT scan to make sure there wasn't real trouble.
As usual, the pharmaceutical companies use their great power and combine it with our vanity to make millions.
Please be aware of both sides of the story! And to look your best, gets lots of sleep, treat your skin well with peels and sunscreen, hydrate from the inside, eat well and find your inner peace.
When you radiate, no one is going to be looking at your lines. They will be captivated by your energy!
