Frequently Asked Questions
Botox may be considered for adults experiencing chronic migraine, generally defined as headaches on at least 15 days per month. Eligibility also depends on factors such as migraine symptoms, headache duration, previous preventive treatments, medical history, and how significantly headaches affect daily activities. A headache specialist must evaluate these factors before recommending treatment.
Botox is injected into specific areas around the head and neck. It helps limit the release of chemicals involved in pain signaling, which may reduce the activation of migraine-related pain pathways. Botox is used to prevent future headache days rather than stop an attack that has already started.
Botox treatment for chronic migraine is commonly scheduled every 12 weeks. Results are often assessed over multiple treatment cycles because response times vary. Your clinician will monitor your headache frequency, symptom severity, and overall response before recommending whether treatment should continue.
A qualified medical provider administers a series of small injections into designated areas that may include the forehead, temples, back of the head, neck, and upper shoulders. The procedure follows a therapeutic migraine protocol and differs from the injection pattern used for cosmetic treatment.
The medication may be the same, but the treatment goal, dosage, injection locations, and clinical protocol are different. Cosmetic Botox is primarily used to soften the appearance of facial lines. Therapeutic Botox follows a medical injection pattern intended to help prevent chronic migraine.
