Shaterian N, Shaterian N, Ghanaatpisheh A, Abbasi F, Daniali S, Jahromi MJ, Sanie MS, Abdoli A. Botox (OnabotulinumtoxinA) for treatment of migraine symptoms: a systematic review. Pain Research and Management. 2022;2022(1):3284446.
Migraine is a common headache type, affecting about 15% of the population annually and being the second most common cause of neurological disorders. This study evaluated how Botox (BoNT-A) affects the duration and intensity of migraines and identified effective injection sites.
Therapeutic Use of Botulinum Toxin in Migraine: Mechanisms of Action
Ramachandran R, Yaksh TL. Therapeutic use of botulinum toxin in migraine: mechanisms of action. British Journal of Pharmacology. 2014 Sep;171(18):4177-92.
Migraine pain starts in brain nerves and can be felt in the head and face. Botox is effective for chronic migraines by blocking pain signals. It works in key brain areas to prevent these signals and might also impact nearby nerve cells. Researchers are still studying exactly how this helps with migraines.

Dermal injectables are the most popular option for facial enhancement, including adding volume and reducing wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid is commonly used in these injectables, but its properties can vary. This article will explain these properties using four key parameters. Understanding these differences helps doctors customise treatments for better results, even if the material seems complex.

Clinical data: What is Nicotinamide Riboside
Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride (NR) – Clinical Data v1.00, n.d. Clinical literature summary on NR (nicotinamide riboside).
Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) is a special form of vitamin B3 that helps your body naturally boost NAD⁺—a vital molecule needed for energy, cell repair, and healthy ageing. Research shows NR can support metabolism, brain health, muscle function, and reduce inflammation. It’s well tolerated and used in many wellness treatments to promote energy, recovery, and long-term cellular health.
Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides Clinical Data
Proksch, E. et al., 2014. Oral intake of specific bioactive collagen peptides reduces skin wrinkles and increases dermal matrix synthesis. Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 27(3), pp.113–119. https://doi.org/10.1159/000355523
Hydrolysed collagen peptides (like VERISOL®) are easily absorbed proteins that help the body rebuild collagen from the inside out. Backed by clinical studies, they’ve been shown to reduce wrinkles, boost skin hydration and elasticity, and improve the health of hair, nails, joints, and even gut function. These peptides support firmer, smoother skin and healthier connective tissue, making them a popular choice for those looking to support skin and overall wellness naturally.
