2010-10-17

LONDON, ENGLAND, October 17, 2010 (Press-News.org) Beyond the aesthetic benefits, Botox has recently been approved for the prevention of chronic migraines. This news comes after a trial of more than 1,300 patients showed that Botox dramatically helps in reducing the frequency of headaches. Lee Tomkins, the Director of Migraine Action, stresses that Botox is not a "cure" but he goes on to say, "if they (migraine sufferers) get half the attacks, it can really improve their quality of life."

Botox is becoming more and more popular every year with both men and women. Botox in Wilmslow and Botox in Cheshire are also very popular. In an age where people want to look their best for longer, Botox helps to keep skin looking healthier by reducing the aging effects that we all experience. With small doses, wrinkles appear reduced, as do crow's feet and frown lines. The procedure is almost painless and very fast. While patients do look younger, the effects of Botox can wear off and so the individual will need re-applications. Botox can also be used in the treatment of hyperhydrosis, or excessive sweating. Botox has therefore been proven to be medically beneficial as well as aesthetically beneficial to many people.

BOTOX and DYSPORT are brand names for the same product. The technical term is botulinum toxin. This is injected into the patient directly into the problem area and begins to work straight away. According to Court House Clinics, the effects can usually be seen after around three to seven days and tend to last around three to four months. With Court House Clinics, you are getting a service that is professional and high in quality, "Over 95% of all our anti-aging injectable treatments are carried out by cosmetic doctors who are highly trained and experienced in the art of facial aesthetics."
