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.

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diets & Weight Loss Plans Offers Improved hCG Diet Plans Capable of Relieving Migraine Headaches Associated with Carrying Extra Pounds

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) May 14, 2013

Migraine is a neurological disorder involving episodes of head pain, often throbbing, unilateral and severe in nature, with attacks lasting from four to 72 hours. According to the International Headache Society (IHS), migraine headaches are often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light, sound or movement. Approximately one-third of those who suffer from migraines have attacks that are preceded or accompanied by an aura that is often visual, but may also involve reduced function of sensory, speech and motor skills.

Although being overweight is not necessarily the cause of migraines, obesity is a risk factor for their progression and may exacerbate the frequency and severity of the painful headaches. In addition, many medications that are prescribed for headache prevention can actually cause weight gain. Making the choice to lose weight benefits the body physically, as well as emotionally, and can result in avoiding the risk for countless diseases and conditions, including the exacerbation of migraine headaches.

Diet Doc has helped thousands of Americans avoid weight-related disease and conditions by providing the nation's leading medically supervised prescription hCG diet plans. Subsequent to a simple, yet thorough, medical evaluation and in-house doctor consultation, hCG diet plans are designed that are unique to each patient's personal nutritional needs, as well as fitting comfortably into their lifestyle. These diet plans, when combined with medically supervised prescription hCG, will result in the body releasing stored and trapped fat into the bloodstream to be burned as a primary source of energy. The most preferred method of hCG delivery among patients is injectable solution due to its convenience, as well as its ability to provide more rapid weight loss while naturally suppressing the appetite. Enhanced with energy boosting Vitamin B12, injectable hCG has been shown to prevent muscle loss during dieting as well as alleviating fatigue and energy loss. Dieters that follow the Diet Doc hCG diet plan find themselves looking better, feeling better and reducing weight related health risks.
