Benefits of Botox for Chronic Migraines

Let’s talk Botox!

Not only can Botox elevate your aesthetic and smooth out those lines, but it can also drastically improve your quality of life, especially if you suffer from migraines.

Tell me more, you might ask?

Well, Botox has been proven to be a powerful treatment for many of those who endure painful migraines. It works by and reducing muscle contractions and stopping neurotransmitters from sending pain signals to your brain.

When Botox is used to treat migraines, you’ll receive multiple injections in specific areas around your head and neck. Treatment is temporary so most patients find that by 12 weeks the effects have worn off and it’s time for another appointment.

Chronic migraines are defined as having at least 15 headache days a month (for 3 months) with at least 8 days of having headaches with migraine features such as pain on one or both sides of your head, blurry or loss of vision, experiencing an “aura”, sensitivity to light and sound, and even experiencing nausea.
