Migraine Prophylaxis
Migraine prophylaxis with Botox is an FDA-approved treatment that uses Botox injections to prevent chronic migraines.
Botox is injected into specific muscles around the head, neck, and shoulders to block the release of chemicals involved in pain transmission, reducing the frequency and severity of migraines.
What to expect during your treatment?
During your migraine treatment, the provider will inject small doses of Botox into multiple areas around your head, neck, and shoulders. The treatment typically lasts around 15-30 minutes. The injections are quick and involve minimal discomfort. Some patients notice improvement within 4 weeks, though full results often take a few treatments. Regular sessions every 12 weeks help maintain long-term relief.
