I was going to get these done on both sides, but I have heard 2 things. First of all I have been told that this is the most painful piercing you can get because of where it is located, and let's be honest as a migraine sufferer I really don't need any more pain and secondly I have heard that it only works about 50% of the time. So it's painful and it's a 50/50 chance of it working.....not good enough odds for me to deal with any additional pain. Some swear by it. I have friends that have had it done that swear it worked wonders for them. Me....the Botox is working, I'm just not willing to risk it right now. Just my opinion.
