Dermatologists in San Diego Say Botox is a Safe & Effective Treatment for Migraine & Tension Headache Relief

San Diego, California (PRWEB) May 08, 2013

According to recent reports and additional testing, Botox injections continue to prove safe and effective for the treatment of migraines and tension headaches. At the highly-respected center of Goldman, Butterwick, Fitzpatrick, Groff & Fabi Cosmetic Laser Dermatology in San Diego, respected dermatologist Dr. Butterwick explains exactly how Botox can be used to mitigate the condition.

There are specific points that are typically injected to alleviate tension headaches that include the scalp and back of the head. Botox works to temporarily freeze these muscles and areas, which in turn result in less head and neck pain for the individual treated, said board certified dermatologist Kimberly Butterwick, MD.

In the new article, neurologists explain that patients who receive Botox injections to treat migraines and tension headaches generally undergo treatments once every 12 weeks to see the best results. Sufferers of migraines, which are often a debilitating and ongoing frustration affecting 12% of Americans, can first try cosmetic injections before undergoing the typical protocol of 31 scalp injections.

A number of times before, Ive performed cosmetic Botox injections for patients to the glabella and theyve noted a tremendous improvement in headaches, said Dr. Richard Fitzpatrick, board certified dermatologist. Treating cosmetic areas like the forehead often requires much less Botox than scalp injections, typically between only 6-8."

At GBFG&F Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, undergoing Botox in San Diego for tension headaches can also bring an added benefit for patientsthe diminishment of unwanted facial wrinkles around the forehead and eyes. As Dr. Butterwick explains, Botox can act as a two-in-one treatment.

A lot of times, patients come in for cosmetic Botox injections and are completely unaware that it could also help any headaches theyre experiencing., said Dr. Butterwick, San Diego Dermatologist. Its like patients are actually buying one treatment and getting another free. When headaches happen as a result of scrunching your face throughout the day, Botox will temporarily freeze the muscles responsible for this, making frown lines disappear and improving headaches.

How to Reveal Younger Looking Skin with an Ingredient Acknowledged by Most Dermatologists, Says Sublime Beauty

St. Petersburg, FL (PRWEB) May 30, 2013

Retinol, a vitamin A derivative, is one of the few ingredients that has been proven clinically to be a superior anti-aging ingredient for skin care.

What does Retinol do? Here is a summary:

Can reduce fine lines and wrinkles
Can increase collage production
Can reveal younger, smoother skin
Can help increase skin texture and increase thickness
Can help diminish dark circles and age spots
Can reduce or diminish acne
Can increase hydration of the skin
Can reduce the size of enlarged pores
Can help stimulate better skin, or skin repair

Retinol is commonly listed as the the cure-all and among the best anti-aging ingredients we have, according to a clinical professor of dermatology at Yale. Retinol, which is a vitamin A derivative, sloughs skin and removes dead cells, older skin, boosts the all-important collagen and helps new, fresh skin to appear. It also pumps up circulation.

Vtamin A is unique because it can act as an antioxidant and it can get deep into the skin thanks to a smaller molecular size. Retinol does not only help the outer skin but penetrates and binds well with receptors to encourage new healthy growth and collagen production. However, Retinol can be harsh on some skins, which can also become more photo-sensitive.
