FAQ's
How does Botox work for migraine relief?
Botox for migraine works by blocking the release of certain chemicals involved in pain transmission, which helps prevent migraine headaches before they start. When injected around pain fibers in the head and neck, Botox enters the nerve endings and disrupts the pain signaling pathways, reducing the frequency and severity of migraines. This FDA-approved treatment has shown to significantly reduce the number of headache days for chronic migraine sufferers, providing long-lasting relief.
How long does it take to see results from Botox for migraines?
Many patients start to notice a reduction in migraine frequency within 2 to 3 weeks after their first treatment. However, full benefits are typically experienced after two or three treatment cycles, spaced around 12 weeks apart. Botox is a preventive migraine treatment, so patients usually experience progressive improvement over time, with reduced migraine days and intensity.
Who is a good candidate for Botox for migraines?
Botox for migraines is typically recommended for adults who suffer from chronic migraines—defined as having 15 or more headache days each month, with at least 8 days of migraines. It is particularly effective for those who have not found relief from other preventive migraine medications. At our Miami clinic, patients undergo a detailed assessment to determine if Botox is a suitable treatment for their specific migraine pattern, ensuring safe and tailored care that optimizes relief and minimizes side effects.
