In today's world, the increasingly popular use of Botox is applied for both aesthetic and therapeutic purposes. Since it has been discovered that Botox used for aesthetic purposes also effectively addresses various problems, issues such as migraines and excessive sweating can now be treated with Botox. Especially given its efficacy against the challenging migraine attacks, the number of people opting for migraine Botox has surged. We also offer migraine Botox treatments at our clinic.
A migraine is characterized by severe, long-lasting, and throbbing headaches. Unlike mild headaches that don't interfere with daily life, migraine pain significantly impacts the patient's daily activities. Accompanied by symptoms such as vomiting, dizziness, and vision loss, this ailment can adversely affect one's day-to-day life.
Migraine is a serious disease that degrades the quality of life, hindering reading, working, and the completion of daily tasks. Modern-day Botox treatments, commonly referred to as 'migraine botox', have been shown to eliminate migraine attacks for extended periods. It is known that Botox helps prevent migraine attacks until its effects wear off.
While Botox is typically applied to the face for cosmetic reasons, for migraine treatment, it's applied to areas where the pain emerges and is most intensely felt. The forehead, temples, back of the neck, and the nape are among these areas.
Initially, the patient's history is carefully listened to, and areas for Botox application are determined. Local anesthesia or cold application might be required before Botox is administered to these areas. Once the area is numbed, botulinum toxin is injected into the skin with fine needles. The procedure is quite quick. Due to its short duration, ease, and painlessness, I recommend Botox treatment to many patients suffering from migraines.
The procedure concludes within approximately 10 – 15 minutes. Migraine Botox is a simple, easily applied, and effective treatment. Typically, the effects of Botox last between 6 – 8 months. Of course, this duration can vary from person to person.
