Having Botox treatments could be helpful in reducing the effects of migraines, according to a new report. botox injection

Research published in the JAMA journal Archives of Dermatology revealed the injections could reduce the frequency of attacks by as much as ten times.

It found that after three months of treatments, migraine frequency was reduced for study participants from a typical rate of 6.8 days per month to an average of 0.7 days.

The study’s author explained: “Our findings invite consideration of using botulinum toxin type A injections to prevent migraine headaches and may promote the role of the dermatologist in the treatment of patients with migraine.”

Elsewhere, a recent study led by David Havas of University of Wisconsin-Madison revealed anyone suffering from anger or depression issues could improve their moods by having Botox injections.

It found that the numbing reaction of having Botox injected can mean it is more difficult to grimace and frown, meaning the effects of these expressions are less keenly felt by users.
