Cosmetic treatments not only benefit you on the outside, they can help you feel better on the inside too! There are many medical advantages to the procedures we provide at our aesthetic practitioner clinic in Bournemouth.  Read on to discover why a trip to the medical aesthetician can provide a solution for medial issues.

Botox® for migraines & headaches

Botox® has been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) as a treatment for chronic migraine since 2010. Botox® has been recommended by numerous studies to alleviate pain for those who are suffering from migraines at least eight days every month.

There are a few theories as to why Botox® helps reduce migraines. Botox® (or Botulinum toxin type A) work by reducing muscle activity and prevents the release of acetylcholine. This stops the muscle contracting. This limitation of muscle activity may reduce blood pressure in the brain and limit the nerve sending pain signal which leads to a migraine. If you are considering Botox® in Bournemouth, we recommend repeating treatment every 12 week to sustain chronic migraines.

Botox® for depression

How we feel inside can impact how we look on the outside. But it can work the other way around! Clinical trials published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research have found that Botox® inserted into areas linked to low mood can help alleviate depression. One theory is that relaxing the facial muscles that cause us to frown helps to improve our mood. Another idea is simply that people feel happier when they are confident and proud of their appearance!
