There are multiple Botox injections done at once in the forehead, temple, neck, shoulder areas. They are quick pin pricks. I don’t find it painful but some might.
The first injections did very little. The morning headaches were a bit less painful.
The Botox seems to get less effective after about two months.
The second injections have helped. I am not waking with headaches daily and when I do they are less intense. I am at about two months since the second set and effectiveness may be fading.
I’m due for a third set in mid April.
It is not cosmetic Botox but it does affect your muscles. My right eyebrow gets raised while my left eyebrow doesn’t. I’ll ask my NP next time. My NP said there can be eyelid droop but I haven’t had that.

@docb99 I have also done the Botox injections to the head. I think it’s about 31 injections or so. They are given every three months because that’s about when the effectiveness wears off. I have had my second round and it’s gotten better and overtime each round gets stronger and better and much more effective. I’ve heard from people who have been doing this for quite some time and are very pleased with the results. I plan to keep doing this.
