Botox For Headaches? New Research Says Yes

Sunday, February 21st, 2010 by copywriter

Doctors could prescribe the popular wrinkle treatment Botox Cosmetic as a botox-PAheadache treatment.  New research published in Archives of Dermatology shares new research about clinical studies of Botox used as a headache treatment, finding that certain patients experienced less frequent migraine attacks after using it: “patients who responded to Botox reported their migraines were reduced to fewer than 1 day a month from almost 7,” said Bloomberg news.

Manufacturer Allergan Inc has applied for FDA clearance to market Botox as a headache treatment.  But researchers say they cannot fully explain how Botox works to relieve headaches. One co-author of the study, Rami Burstein says, “it may block the signals in sensory nerves located on the outside of the head.”

Botox™ Jaw Reduction (Non-Surgical Jaw Reduction)

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008 by drbg

Excessively wide jaws that create a “squared off” lower face is a common problem. While a strong jaw may be desirable in males, females dislike this appearance.  In the past surgery was the only remedy, but now we have fabulous non-surgical solutions.

If you feel the angle of your jaw as you clench down, you can feel a mucscle bulging outward.  This muscle, called the masseter, is often the primary cause of the excessive jaw width.  Injections with Botox™ can significantly reduce the size of these muscles and narrow the lower half of the face. Your ability to chew is not weakened.

A side benefit is that the cheeks may be highlighted.  As you can see below, the results can be quite profound .  I just love being able to help people with this problem so easily.   Call our office for more information at 215-572-7744 or email us at info@drgenter.com.
