5 Reasons to Consider BOTOX for Migraines
Although BOTOX is best known for its cosmetic benefits, it’s also used for medical treatments, including preventing migraine headaches. In fact, BOTOX for migraines is FDA-approved, making it a legitimate migraine treatment. The injections are placed in strategic locations in your head, neck and shoulders to relax overactive muscles and nerves and block pain signals to your brain to keep migraines under control.
In this post, Drs. Adi Nokiani and Eric Quan from Simply Wellness Dental in Vancouver, British Columbia, explore five reasons to consider BOTOX for migraine treatment.
Reason #1: Prevention of Migraine Headaches
Conventional migraine medications are designed to provide pain relief during a migraine episode. In contrast, BOTOX helps prevent migraine pain by blocking the chemicals that trigger and send pain signals to your brain. You won’t experience the painful symptoms of migraines or their aftereffects.
Reason #2: Reduction of Migraine Headaches
If you suffer from chronic migraines, BOTOX is clinically proven to reduce the frequency of your headaches by up to 50%. The consistent use of BOTOX for migraines can result in 8 to 10 migraine-free days each month. With less migraine pain, you can enjoy a higher quality of life. If you’re used to having 15+ migraine headache days monthly, you’ll appreciate the relief that BOTOX can provide!
Reason #3: Treatments Last up to Three Months
The effects of BOTOX for migraines can last from 2 ½ to 3 months. We recommend starting with two treatments and noting the results to see if they’re successful. If so, you can schedule treatments every 3 months for consistent pain relief. BOTOX injections replace the need for daily medication to keep migraine symptoms under control. By placing the injections in specific locations in your head, neck, and shoulder, we localize BOTOX to achieve a greater effect and better results.
Reason #4: Professional Oversight
Your injections are administered by dental professionals with training and experience with BOTOX treatments. Your injections will be given within a safe, sanitary environment at our dental clinic. Our team will plan, implement and monitor your treatment carefully to help you obtain the best possible results. We strive to make these treatments a positive, painless experience.
Reason #5: Expediency!
BOTOX migraine injections are quick and easy, taking, on average, 15 to 20 minutes to complete. They’re administered at our dental office, and appointments can be scheduled at your convenience. Between 30 and 40 injections are given for each treatment, using super fine needles that feel like pinpricks. Afterward, you can drive home or resume your work or school schedule. It’s recommended you not lie down for at least four hours after your treatment.
