Frequently Asked Questions
Botox is approved for preventing headaches in adults with chronic migraine, generally involving at least 15 headache days per month, with headaches lasting four hours or longer. Eligibility is not based on frequency alone. A specialist will also consider your symptoms, diagnosis, medical history, previous preventive treatments, and other health factors.
Botox is injected into specific muscles around the head and neck. It works by interfering with chemical signals involved in pain transmission, which can help reduce the activation of migraine-related pain pathways. It is used as a preventive treatment and is not intended to stop a migraine attack immediately after it begins.
Botox treatment for chronic migraine is generally repeated every 12 weeks. Your clinician will monitor your headache frequency, symptom severity, functional improvement, and any side effects before deciding whether treatment should continue.
A qualified provider administers a series of small injections into designated areas of the forehead, temples, back of the head, neck, and upper shoulders. The medical protocol for chronic migraine uses specific treatment sites and dosing that differ from cosmetic Botox.
The medication may be the same, but the purpose and treatment protocol are different. Cosmetic Botox is used primarily to temporarily soften certain facial lines. Botox for chronic migraine follows a medical injection pattern intended to prevent headache days.
