Overview

Clinically Proven Relief
For Chronic Migraine.

Botox® is an FDA-approved preventive treatment designed for adults who experience 15 or more headache days each month, with headaches lasting four hours or longer. By blocking pain-signaling neurotransmitters, Botox helps reduce migraine frequency before attacks occur, allowing many patients to regain control of their daily lives.

Botox May Be Right for Patients Who Experience:

  • Chronic migraines (15+ headache days per month)
  • Recurring severe headaches
  • Long-lasting migraine episodes
  • Frequent migraine flare-ups
  • Poor response to traditional treatments
  • Reduced quality of life due to migraines

Who is a candidate for Botox migraine treatment?

Botox is typically recommended for adults who experience 15 or more headache days each month, with migraines lasting four hours or longer.

How long does the procedure take?

Each Botox session lasts about 15 minutes, and the procedure is usually done in less than 20 minutes. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately afterward.

Where are the injections placed?

Botox is injected into seven key areas of the head and neck that are linked to migraine pain — the forehead, temples, back of the head, neck and upper back — targeting the nerves involved in pain transmission.

How often will I need treatment?

Botox treatments are typically administered every 12 weeks. Regular sessions are recommended to maintain the effectiveness of the treatment in preventing migraine episodes.

When will I notice results?

Some patients may notice a decrease in migraine frequency as soon as two to three weeks after the initial treatment, but it can take up to two sessions (24 weeks) to see significant results.

Is it safe, and what are the side effects?

Botox for migraines is generally safe and approved for most adults. Common side effects include neck pain, stiffness and temporary muscle weakness around the injection sites. Botox is not recommended during pregnancy — tell your physician if you are pregnant or planning to be.

Is Botox for migraine covered by insurance?

Many insurance providers cover Botox treatments for chronic migraine prevention. Check with your insurer for the specifics of your coverage before your first session.
