Tired of Migraines?
Have you exhausted all other efforts?
Perhaps its time to try Botox Treatment to reduce and iliminate painfull Migraines.
Long lasting relief
Botox can relieve painful headaches or migraines that are often caused by clenching and grinding. It can also guard your teeth against wear, fractures, and other damage caused by clenching or grinding.
Botox is injected around pain fibers that are involved in headaches and migraines. Botox enters the surrounding nerve endings and interrupts the pathway of pain transmission between the brain (central nervoussystem) and nerves that extend down the neck.
When a migraine is active ,your body releases neurotransmitters and molecules that are associated with pain. Botox , being a "Botulinum toxin" ,interferes with the transmission of these neurotransmitters, typically where the nerves and muscles meet.
The effects of each Treatment can last for up to 6 months .
What to expect durning appointment?
Every Appointment starts with a complimentary Consultation. At that time we will go over all areas you wish to address, answer any questions you may have, as well as provide a quote of total cost before proceeding.
Your face will be cleansed and the areas that are to be injected will be marked with a removable eyeliner/marker. Once you are ready, the injections will be performed in various areas to target the desired muscles.
After treatment its normal for marks or bumps to appear around the injection site. This should only last a short time. In some cases, you might get some mild bruising which will resolve in 24-48 hours. At the end of your treatment you will be given instructions on what to do and what not to do in the next 24 hours.
A follow up email will be sent out 2 weeks after treatment, to check in on your results and schedule follow up appointments if necessary.
Onset
Neurotoxins generally take effect in 7-14 days but it is common to not see your full and final results for 14 days. We, personally, always tell our patients to wait a full 2 weeks after their Botox injection and, if at that point you need a touch-up, we will schedule a follow up apt to access your concerns.
Duration
Eventually, the neurotoxin will wear off and the muscles will start working and contracting. In general, Botox for Migraine lasts from 4-6 months.
