And yet you.. still got the Botox?
Vanity is a bitch. She also might have asked after getting it.
That was my interpretation, but at that point wouldn't she already know how she looks?
Most botox patients are there for therapeutic reasons; it's a common and (if it works for you) extremely effective treatment for chronic migraines.
cheap, too. it's just processed Clostridium botulinum poison; you can brew that in large vats for pennies on the dose. In some cases, it's cheaper to make than pills.
It might be cheap to make, but its absolutely not a cheap procedure for any of the medical applications I know of. The drug itself is around 1k for the low end of the typical therapeutic dose, and a lot of insurances (if you're in the US) want you to jump through hoops to pay for it.
It's also used for people who grind their teeth and clench their jaws at night. Injecting it into the jaw muscles can reduce the damage to teeth and tempomandibular joints.
It's effective if your headaches are tension headaches. It works by paralyzing the muscles that pull on your scalp and skull, so if you get headaches from anything besides muscle tension, it's not going to work for you.
Tension headaches are an extremely common migraine trigger, hence the popularity of using botox as a treatment.
I just wanted to clarify for those folks that have other triggers so that they don't pursue a treatment that isn't always covered by insurance and is unlikely to work for them.
Really? Neat.
Asked after the Botox.
