Can Botox injected for migraines have cosmetic benefits?

February 26, 2015
Asked By:Stine25 in Doylestown, PA

I have an appointment with my neurologist to be treated with Botox for migraine prevention. I will need injections every 3 months for at least a year. Is there any chance there will be cosmetic benefits as well decrease in migraines? If not, would it be too much Botox to have a different doctor inject me with botox for cosmetic reasons?
