MODERATORS
Most botox patients are there for therapeutic reasons; it's a common and (if it works for you) extremely effective treatment for chronic migraines.
cheap, too. it's just processed Clostridium botulinum poison; you can brew that in large vats for pennies on the dose. In some cases, it's cheaper to make than pills.
It's also used for people who grind their teeth and clench their jaws at night. Injecting it into the jaw muscles can reduce the damage to teeth and tempomandibular joints.
It's effective if your headaches are tension headaches. It works by paralyzing the muscles that pull on your scalp and skull, so if you get headaches from anything besides muscle tension, it's not going to work for you.
Tension headaches are an extremely common migraine trigger, hence the popularity of using botox as a treatment.
I just wanted to clarify for those folks that have other triggers so that they don't pursue a treatment that isn't always covered by insurance and is unlikely to work for them.
