One of these options is administering dermal fillers to diminish wrinkles and facial folds and enhance natural features of the face.

Allergan the maker of Botox® has a new and improved wrinkle filler in the market. This new dermal filler, JuvedermTM, Buy bocouture online has been used as a non-surgical cosmetic procedure in Europe since 2000 and in Canada since 2002, and was approved by the FDA in June 2006. JuvedermTM contains the highest concentration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) currently available. After a single anti-aging treatment of JuvedermTM, clinical studies revealed that the majority of patients sustained results for up to six months or longer. JuvedermTM flows smoothly into the skin, lifting and filling the wrinkle. Patients report that it feels soft and natural like their own skin.

This new study proves that Botox can be used not only for anti-aging purposes, but also to treat migraine headaches. If you suffer from migraine headaches and pain, you are not alone on your quest for pain relief. There are more than 28 million migraine sufferers in the U.S.

Some doctors have begun using Botox® to treat patients complaining of migraine headaches. Scientists say the injections work because they have recently discovered a probable link between migraine pain and the muscles in the face, particularly those of the temples and the nape.

Researchers at Rush University Medical Center are also testing a new treatment for migraine headaches: occipital nerve stimulation, a surgical procedure in which an implanted neurostimulator delivers electrical impulses to the occipital nerves under the skin at the base of the skull at the back of the neck.

This therapy may help migraine sufferers who do not respond well to other available therapies, or who cannot tolerate the side effects of existing medications. The Precision device is the smallest rechargeable neurostimulator in the market. It is FDA approved for spinal cord stimulation to treat chronic pain.

Botox® treatment combined with surgery has reduced frequency and duration by 92% in clinical studies. About 100 patients taking part in a U.S. study were injected with Botox® to find out which muscles in the forehead, temples, face and back of the head triggered their disabling headaches. The offending muscles were then surgically removed in the effort to ease the severe pain caused by migraines. Prior to this treatment the migraine sufferers missed on average 4.4 days of work a month. After the operation, the patients missed just 1.2 days of work a month. The operation was said to completely alleviate migraines in 35% of the patients.
