It has been suggested that my wife has Botox injections for her headaches and facial pain. It looks like it is a long term solution with quarterly injections, where the results aren't noticed for many weeks and can take a year to see the real benefit.
Whilst the doesn't seem any doubt that it works and with minimal side effects. I would be surprised if the NHS keeps doing this long term as it quite expensive.
Has anybody on here had regular injections for Botox and the second question that is just as important for a certain individual - did it remove the wrinkles .........

Many years ago I had accupuncture for migraines as a sufferer. Life side went ok, right side hit nerve I passed out, never attempted again from physio, but good luck on wife having botox, may help all round she will look 10yrs younger lol, I could do with some of that Im agedinglike no ones business this past year lol I jealous but I am screamish on needles but on serious note hope treatment for this one area is positive. All the best for your wife
My wife and I seemed to have mixed results of acupuncture. The first treatments are fine and relieve pain for a while. Go back a second time and no effect at all.
With 4 lots of botox does that mean she will look 40 years younger
I'd be interested to hear how Sharon describes the experience. The idea of Botox is a bit scary for me, but I might Google these procedures and maybe allay a few myths ! x
I'm guessing it's a totally different procedure and nothing will change appearance-wise ....................but if I'm wrong you could always have some cosmetic work done yourself to 'keep up' ! 😁x
The whole world of botox is new to me. From what I have read the contents of the injection is the same but I don't know if the injection points are different.
That's why I am a bit concerned, last thing is to have one different skin patches between untreated skin and botox skin.
Don't think there is enough Botox in the country to make me look good. Honestly wearing a mask in public has been a godsend and what people have been telling me to do for years . This could be my passport picture bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-can...
Well if Sharon doesn't show any adverse effects to the patch I guess it should be safe. I think the disasters in cosmetic surgery are probably down to inadequate testing or other poor practice. I know the medical use of Botox has become pretty standard in improving mobility.
Now then - re. Mr Potato Head ; did you read on to the part where it's now a gender neutral toy so has various heads to suite every requirement. But I get what you're saying .....you're a dead ringer for the original ! I believe you...thousands wouldn't... x
Botox is used for many medical results where nerve's are involved, the treatment is given in small doses over a period of time. It is a poison, botulism. This is why it is given in small amounts.
I think that is a worry with any treatment, as with the postcode lottery of commissioners. When I moved a medication I received for a number of years was not available where I moved to. And commissioners can change treatment availability at anytime. I don't think it is a reason to not start a treatment as most decisions are not done retrospectively, so if you have started a course, you often can complete the course.
