Botox

2002 was the year of the Botox party –a festive variation on the Tupperware klatch – in which women gather for tea sandwiches and a shot of dilute botulinum toxin in the face. The FDA last year approved the use of Botox which creates a temporary and localized paralysis in facial muscles, for smoothing wrinkles between the eyebrows. But doctors are also using the shots for such “off label” applications as crow’s-feet, furrowed brows and other frown lines. If the sign of all those glassy Botox faces is giving you a headache,

get this: researches at Wake Forest University found that Botox also stave off migraines in suffers who can’t get relief from other drugs. Expect more Botox approvals.
