Testimonials Migraine

I have suffered tremendously since my first pregnancy with Migraine. I now have treatment using Botulinum Toxin A in my forehead every 3 months and this has made the effects of each episode a lot less severe. In addition I do not have Migraines as frequently nor are they as bad as they were before.

Migraines are almost cured. I do need to have treatments every 3 months. If I miss a treatment what I find is that they are much more frequent and much more severe, whereas if I stay on top of my treatments then I have not nearly as much trouble with these headaches.

Through my endless search to find a way to reduce my Migraines and to try and manage them better, I found myself on this information portal site, and I was directed to a recommended safe clinic in Dublin that specialises in treatment using anti-wrinkle injections. I was delighted to learn that Botox is now an FDA approved treatment for Migraines. I now attend DermaFace every three months. They were most kind and accommodating, and offer enough clinics to provide me with choice for a suitable appointment. The treatment itself just took a few minutes and was pain-free.
