Overview

Overview


Botox® For Migraines

At Anti-Aging Medical & Laser clinic, we’re masters with the use of neuromodulators or Botulinum toxin (Botox®). With decades of expertise Dr. Gidon Frame, along with Dr. Sarina Govindasamy, Dr. Teri Fisher, and RN Dina Wang, are the knowledgeable and skilled injectors you can trust.

Botox® is one of many FDA-approved treatments to help prevent chronic migraine headaches (those that occur for 15 or more days of the month). This treatment isn’t a cure but may help to temporarily decrease the number of headaches you get. Botox® injections work by blocking the release of chemicals that cause headache pain. This can help prevent migraines before they start.

Botox® injections can also treat other conditions including excess sweating and muscle spasms.

Before the Treatment

Your experience begins with a consult with one of our expert staff. If you are considering Botox® treatment for migraines, you’ll be asked to keep a headache diary to determine if you meet the requirements for Botox® injections.

These include:

  • You have a minimum number of migraine days each month and a diagnosis of chronic migraine.
  • Other treatments didn’t reduce the frequency or severity of your headaches.

If you are a suitable candidate for Botox®, the treatment involves multiple injections into the muscles across the forehead, temples, and back of the head and neck.

During the Treatment

The treatment area is numbed with ice before fine needles are injected into the relevant active muscles. You will feel a small prick, and it’s over! If there is bleeding, the treated area is pressed hard to avoid bruising.

After the Treatment

Avoid squeezing or massaging the treated areas for several hours. It takes approximately 2 weeks for the treatment to take effect, and you will begin to feel improvements.

RESULTS

Patients who receive Botox® treatment typically respond well, with most experiencing 8 to 9 fewer headache days on average each month. It takes approximately 2 weeks for the treatment to take effect, and after this you will begin to feel improvements. You may not feel the full benefits until after the 2nd or 3rd treatment. To know if Botox® injections are working for you, we recommend to keep a headache diary to track frequency and intensity of your headaches.
