A member asked:
When given botox for migraines is it injected in the same places as its put cosmetically & does it cause 'face freeze' look?

Botox: Most of the sites are not. The big differences is in the dose used. Its much lower for wrinkles.

See below: Some of the locations are similar, but they also place medication in the temporal muscles as well as back of head, neck, and shoulders.
