If you have debilitating migraines, you could find relief in the form of Botox.
Movie and TV star Virginia Madsen, star of the hit movie “Sideways,” has long suffered from extremely painful headaches. Although she had heard that Botox could spell migraine relief, she was hesitant to try it at first because she was worried about having that “frozen” appearance to her forehead if she received Botox injections. But since trying it, and discovering it helps her headaches go away, she has found that by using it conservatively, she can avoid that frozen face stereotypical of Botox.
Madsen receives Botox injections twice a year to manage her headaches. She does still get headaches, but they’re nothing like the migraines she had before.
Botox temporarily stops chemical nerve signals to certain muscles or glands, so it’s important to become educated on the pros and cons of its use.
