About the treatment

 

Treating migraine with Botox is based on a point injection of botulinum toxin, which relaxes the muscles of the forehead, temples, neck and the back of the head. 

Although Botox raises a lot of controversy, it’s a procedure that is completely safe when following the post treatment recommendations. 

 

A migraine is a severe pain that lasts several hours in the back, front or side of the head. The pain always happens in one place only. Very often there are visual disturbances that happen a few minutes to an hour before the pain attacks. Most often appear as flickering spots or lines. Blurring or distortion of the image is less common. This is more than just a headache. Migraine often comes with other symptoms such as increased sensitivity to light, sound and smells, as well as loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, numbness of the face, dizziness and speech disorders. The symptoms last from a few to several minutes, in most cases they disappear after 60 minutes, in exceptional cases they last up to 24 hours. These conditions can make it difficult or even impossible to perform basic daily activities, which is why patients are anxious to treat migraines.
