What are Migraines?
Migraines are typically described as a severe headache that usually feels like a strong pulsating headache on one side of the head. Some people experience dizziness, sickness, vomiting and light sensitivity as a side effect of their migraines making it extremely painful to go about their day.
The exact cause of migraines is unknown, but they are thought to be the result of abnormal brain activity temporarily affecting nerve signals, chemicals and blood vessels in the brain.

Botox Injections
Due to its nerve-blocking effects, Botox is highly effective as a treatment for chronic migraine (Which is defined as headaches on at least 15 days of the month, at least half of which have symptoms of a migraine).
The Botox works by essentially paralysing the nerve channel, it works by targeting the nerves that transmit pain and once they are paralysed it can stop the need for medication and reduced the pain experienced during a migraine. Book your consultation and let us help you get control of your life.

How it Works
The Botox for migraines treatment works by involves injecting very small amounts of Botox into specific muscles in the head and neck region. Once injected, the Botox works to block the release of the particular chemicals involved in pain transmission, thereby reducing the intensity and frequency of migraine headaches.
The injection points are based on your individual migraine symptoms and are tailored to your particular needs to ensure you enjoy long-lasting results from the procedure.
