What's interesting about Botox is that initially it was discovered as a paralysing agent, and was used in the field of nuerology for neuromuscular diseases. It quickly moved over to the cosmetic field as we discovered that Botox removed wrinkles. When we started injecting Botox into the forehead and crows feet area, many patients that also had migraine headaches realized that the headaches were going away with the Botox. It's a really comfortable circle that Botox is now being used again in the field of neurology for migraine headaches.
