Botox Injections – Weight Loss Diet Solutions

If you’ve suffered from splitting headaches before, you may be interested to give new migraine treatment options a try. Migraines can be very debilitative and the pain and nausea associated with them can make you stop right in your tracks. While pain relievers and others analgesics are normally used to treat migraines, they have some side effects and not everyone can take them.

They also can be quite ineffective over time as you may need larger doses to deal with migraines. While these traditional migraine medications still hold their place in dealing with this ailment, developments have been made which show promise in treating migraines. These new migraine treatment options can drastically reduce the occurrence of migraines as well as reduce the pain it causes.

New Migraine Treatments and Procedures

New Migraine Treatments

Several of the new migraine treatment medications act as preventive medicine. Drugs used as antidepressants, heart medicine, anti-seizure medicine and even cosmetic surgery have all found their use as new migraines treatment options. While they don’t promise to cure migraines, they help prevent them from occurring as frequently.

Botox is a new migraine treatment discovery. Its use is mainly in the field of cosmetic medicine. Botox injections are normally used to tighten the skin and smooth out wrinkles. As a new migraine treatment, it has been shown to be effective in dealing with chronic migraines. It has been FDA approved for use in migraines.

Topiramate, Zonisamide, Levetiracetam are anti-seizure or epilepsy medicine which have been shown to reduce the frequency of migraines. While they have been shown to be effective, some of these drugs do have side effects. It is always best to consult with a doctor regarding prescription and dosage.

Beta blockers such as propanol and calcium channel blockers like verapamil are normally used as cardiovascular drugs. These drugs, along with some anti hypertensive medicine have been shown to reduce the frequency as well as severity of migraines.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a supplement which is naturally produced in the body. It is used mainly to metabolize oxygen and aids in cellular respiration. Because migraines are linked to impaired oxygen metabolism, CoQ10 is believed to be beneficial in reducing migraines.

Antidepressants such as Pamelor, amitriptyline and vivactil have also had good results in dealing with headaches and migraines. They also work even if you aren’t taking them for treatment of depression. They have been quite effective as a preventive measure for migraines.

Biofeedback is a technique which utilizes different equipment and sensors to measure body parameters such as blood flow, heart rate and temperature.

Taking a New Migraines Treatment Correctly

It can be noticed that new migraine therapies aren’t directly aimed at curing migraines. Most of them work on side benefits of other drugs. While they can be very helpful, it is always important to take note of possible side effects. Ask your doctor about these medicines before taking them.

Looking Younger Options… Other Than Plastic Surgery

For many people, having plastic surgery (going under the knife) on their face for pure cosmetic reasons is out of the question. The cost goes way beyond what some people are able to afford or want to spend, and it’s invasive surgery which can be scary as well as carry some risk. In addition, there may be pain involved and the recovery time can be inconvenient. Yet, the desire to look younger is still there and has lead to several, less invasive possibilities which are explored here.

Currently Botox injections are a very popular way to lessen wrinkles. It’s the purest form of Botulinum toxin type A and when injected freezes the muscle it was injected into. This means the nerve impulses can’t reach the muscles, the area “relaxes” and the lines appear to magically disappear. Botox injections are not cheap and the cost depends on the area injected.

Retin A, or Tretinoin, is more commonly used for acne in teenagers and adults, but it can also help with fine lines and wrinkles. It’s believed that Retin A helps increase blood flow to the skin and that, in turn, increases dead skin cell turnover. The result is more even skin color and fewer fine lines. Many anti-aging topical creams now include small amounts of Retin A.

A chemical skin peel with acids such as alphahydroxy acid does not slow down the aging process, but it can make the skin look better. The peel removes the damaged outer layers of skin revealing the newer skin underneath. There are different peels depending on the deepness of the wrinkles and/or other skin issues.

Collagen is a natural protein found in our bodies, including the skin, where it helps with elasticity. Collagen tends to start breaking down with age, and the skin begins to become saggy and wrinkled. Some women get collagen injections to increase the size of their lips, but it’s more commonly used for facial wrinkles. Human or bovine (cow) fillers are used.

Microdermabrasion is the resurfacing of the skin. It sounds like your face will be a construction zone, doesn’t it? But it’s a non-invasive and gentle removal of the top layer of skin – the dead cells, by blasting very fine crystals at the skin and then vacuuming them up. The end result should be younger-looking skin without any recovery time.

If you choose to have one of these procedures done, make sure you see a qualified practioner for the best experience. As with any treatment, there are risks involved and you should understand these fully before proceeding.
