Botox for Migraines
Do you suffer from occasional migraines? Botox relieves tension in your face, neck, or shoulders, which can be effective in reducing migraines. Discover how Botox can safely and effectively reduce the frequency and severity of your migraines.
Botox for Migraines: Effective Treatment for Migraine Relief
Botox for migraines is also used in hospital and outpatient clinics via insurance. That is typically available for people experiencing 15 or more migraines a month. For people who occasionally experience migraines this can be treated with Botox to the frown and forehead every 3-4 months. Our services cannot be reimbursed via your Insurance Provider.
How Botox Treats Migraines and Where It’s Injected
Depending on the frequency of Migraines you experience you may benefit from Botox injections in some or all of the following areas:
-
in the frown and forehead
-
front hairline
-
back of the neck
-
shoulders/trapezius
Most patients find some relief from treatment to the frown and forehead but in consultation with your doctor other areas can also be injected for more relief. Injections to all of these areas can be significantly more expensive so we try to find the balance between keeping costs low for you and effective migraine relief.

Botox for Migraines: Side Effects and Safety
Botulinum toxin is an extremely safe substance which has been in use for decades. Botox is subject to pharmaceutical legislation meaning it has been studied for years on its effectiveness, side effects and complications. While Botulinum toxin has the capability to be toxic it is only toxic at certain concentrations. Serious side effects are very rare.
